Abstract:
Background: Continuous use of chemical fertilisers has caused havoc on soil health, soil fertility and ultimately crop production. Moreover indiscriminate use of chemical fertilisers has caused ill health effects on plants, animals and also to humans due their residual effects. Decline in soil fertility has resulted in unsustainable crop production and the residual effect of chemicals has caused serious concern by creating problems in ecological balance. Now the way to reduce effects of in-organic chemicals lies in use of organic manures for sustained crop yield. With the use of organic manures there has been improvement in soil health, soil fertility and ultimately leading to increased crop productivity.
Methods: Keeping in view above ill effects of inorganic nutrients, the present investigation was carried out to study of effects of different organic manures on growth, yield and quality of turnip. Soil application of organic manures viz; FYM. Vermicompost, Poultry manure, sheep manure and their integration was studied under cold temperate conditions of Gurez where average remains in summer hardly 20-25 °C.
Results: From the study it was observed that application of different organic manures have increased significantly growth, yield and quality attributes of Turnip. Among different treatments of organic manures T6 (PM 50% +FYM 50%) recorded maximum values of growth, yield and quality attributes of Turnip. Application of organic manures has improved soil health, sustained crop yield and enhanced quality attributes. Application of organic manures is ecofriendly and sustainable approach of crop production.
