Abstract:
With the objective of raising awareness about the utilization of NAUROJI NOVEL Banana Pseudostem-based Organic Liquid Nutrients (Fertilizer) spray inmango variety "Kesar" and Sapota variety "Kalipatti,". A series of comprehensive demonstrations were executed throughout the 2020-21 time frame across multiple areas within the Navsari district, namely Navsari, Jalalpore, and Gandevi. The patented product spray led to enhanced yields in demonstrated plot (94.00 and 133.00 q/ha) in comparison to the control plots (85.00, 117.00 q/ha), this resulted in yield increments of 10.59and 13.68% for mango and sapota, respectively. The extension gap (9.00 and 16.00 q/ha), technology gap (11.00 and 17.00 q/ha), technology index (10.48 and 11.33 q/ha), along with a net return increase (15.13% and 18.03%), were documented for Mango and Sapota, respectively. Additionally, with an added cost of 7000 Rs/ha for both crops, there was an incremental return of 21,705 Rs/ha and 29,238 Rs/ha observed for Mango and Sapota crops, respectively.
