Abstract:
To assess the impact of organic amendments and bio-inoculant on the economic analysis of Brinjal, a trial was carried out at research farm, KVK, Damoh, Madhya Pradesh during the rabi season in 2021 and 2022. Nineteen different combinations of organic manures and bio-inoculants were used in the treatments, which were assessed using a randomized block design with three replications. The bioinoculants (Azotobacter, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, and Potassium solubilizing bacteria) in various concentrations, in combination with two organic manures-vermicompost and farm yard manure were ingested in varying proportions. All of the organic manures and bioinoculants were applied at the time the brinjal was transplanted into the plot, according to the doses that should be given there.
It could be evinced from the data that maximum yield of 397.74 q/ha and net income of Rs. 219169.2 per ha and benefit cost ratio of 4.69 was achieved in eggplant variety Harsh in the T18-[Vermicompost (3 t/ha) + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB (7.5 L/ha)] while the maximum benefit cost ratio 5.08 and net income Rs. 213477.8 per ha reported in treatment T7-[FYM (30 t/ha) + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB (2.5 L/ha)]. Treatment T1-(control) showed the fruits yield of 202.72 q/ha, with minimum benefit cost ratio 3.13 and lowest net income Rs. 96657.4 per ha. Hence it could be concluded that Brinjal is a remunerative labour intensive crop.
