Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2022-2023 at the instructional farm, AKS, University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) site is situated at the latitude of 23⁰ 58^’ N and longitude of 80 ⁰ 81^, East in kymore plateau of M.P. The experiment consisted of 12 treatments in randomized block design with 3 replications viz; T₁. Control, T₂. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/hac + FYM 100%, T₃. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/hac + Vermicompost 100%, T₄. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/hac + FYM 100% + Vermicompost 100%, T₅. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/hac + FYM 50%, t₆. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/hac + Vermicompost 50%, t₇. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 50% + Vermicompost 50%, T₈. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 75% + Vermicompost 100%, T₉. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 100% + Vermicompost 75%, T₁₀. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 75% + Vermicompost 25%, T₁₁. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 25% + Vermicompost 75%, T₁₂. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 75% + Vermicompost 75%. Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + FYM 10 t + vermicompost 5 t/ha (T­₄) resulted in significantly higher plant height as well as number of leaves per plant over other treatments at every stage of observations. Thus, at 90 days stage, the maximum height was 88.20 cm and 7.78 leaves/plant under T₄. The second-best treatment was Beejamrutha + FYM 10 t + VC 3.75 t/ha. Application of Beejamrutha 1000 ml/ha + vermicompost 5 t/ha + FYM 10 t/ha (T₄) resulted in significant enhancement in all the yield attributing parameters over all other fertility treatments. The maximum effective tillers were 85.8/m length, 4.84 spikes/plant, 9.83 cm length of spike, 64.28 grains/spike, 43.46 g test weight and 11.20 g seed weight /plant.
