Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during Rabi season 2016-17 and 2017-18. The experiment consisted of thirty five treatment combinations including seven INM ((100 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer, 75 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 5 t/ha FYM, 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 10 t/ha FYM, 100 per cent RDF through FYM (20 t/ha), 75 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 1.75 t/ha VC, 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 3.5 t/ha VC and 100 per cent RDF through vermicompost (7 t/ha) and five bio-regulators levels [Control, Brassinoids @ 5 ppm, Brassinoids @ 10 ppm, Salicylic acid @ 100 ppm and Salicylic acid @ 150 ppm] were under taken in Split plot design with three replications. The results showed that combined application of 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer and 3.5 t/ha vermicompost along with brassinoids @ 5 ppm proved to be most superior treatment combination weight of primary curd (266.45 g) weight of secondary curd (180.60 g) yield per plant (444.19 g), yield per plot (9.11 kg) yield per ha (224.94 q) and net returns (` 360074/ha) and at par with F₄B₂.However, the maximum B:C ratio (4.77:1) was noticed in F₄B₁ treatment combination.
