Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out during Rabi season, 2021-2022, at College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. The experiment was laid in Factorial Randomized Block Design with single control in three replications. The treatments comprise organic manures viz. FYM, Vermicompost, Neem cake and Poultry manure along with Panchagavya and Jeevamrutha as nitrogen sources and bio fertilizers, Azospirillum and Azotobacter for seed treatment. Among the treatments application of 50% of N Poultry manure + 50% of N panchagavya (V₅) recorded maximum values for growth, yield and quality parameters of Palak. Azospirillium @ 20g/kg seed was found superior to Azotobacter in biofertilizer treatments. Among the treatment combinations, V₅B₂ - (50% of N Poultry manure + 50% of N panchagavya + Azospirillium @ 20g/kg) found to be superior over all other treatments.
