The present experiment was carried out during 2021-22 at the Horticulture Research Farm of the Department of Horticulture, Shuats, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 09 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments were T₁ NPK (RDF), T₂ (Biocapsule 250 ppm (Soil drenching)), T₃ (Biocapsule 500 ppm (Soil drenching)), T₄ (Nanozeolite 50 ppm (Soil drenching)), T₅ (Nanozeolite 100 ppm (Soil drenching)), T₆ (Nanozeolite 100 ppm (Soil drenching) + Biocapsule 500 ppm), T₇ (Nanozeolite 50 ppm (Soil drenching) + Biocapsule 250 ppm), T₈ (NPK (RDF) + Biocapsule 500 ppm), T₉ (NPK (RDF) + Nanozeolite 100 ppm (Soil drenching)). On the basis of our experimental findings, it was concluded that the treatment T₆ ((Nanozeolite 100 ppm (Soil drenching) + Biocapsule 500 ppm) was found to be best in the terms of Vegetative growth, Yield and Yield parameters, Quality parameters, Shelf life and Benefit-cost ratio.
