Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of Ghana jeevamrutha and liquid jeevamrutha at different levels at Hanagal of Haveri district Karnataka. The experiment contains tens treatments with three replications laid in a randomized complete block design and the cv. Ney poovan is the commercial variety used for the study. T₁₀ - POP recorded the maximum plant height (273.17 cm), pseudostem girth (71.06 cm), number of leaves (16.10), leaf area (15.35 m²) at 8 MAP and minimum number of days for shooting (264.50), number days from shooting to harvest (106.50) and number of days for total crop duration (371.00). Among the different levels of ghana jeevamrutha and liquid jeevamrutha T₉ - ghana jeevamrutha @ 600 kg/acre + liquid jeevamrutha @ 300 l/acre recorded the maximum plant height (241.62 cm), pseudostem girth (62.32 cm), number of leaves (15.65), leaf area (12.71 m²) at 8 MAP and minimum number of days for shooting (279.50), number days from shooting to harvest (119.17) and number of days for total crop duration (398.67). Minimum values for plant height (201.57 cm), pseudostem girth (52.52 cm), number of leaves (13.73), leaf area (8.78 m²) at 8 MAP and maximum number of days for shooting (306.50), number days from shooting to harvest (133.00) and number of days for total crop duration (439.50) was recorded in T₁ - ghana jeevamrutha @ 200 kg/acre + liquid jeevamrutha @ 100 l/acre.
