Abstract:
Experiment titled Effects of vermicompost, FYM and phosphate soluble bacteria (PSB) on growth, leaf yield and quality of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) cv. All Green during Rabi Season 2020-2021 on research farm of the Department Horticulture, AKS University, Satna (MP). The experiment was placed in a randomized block design with three repeated 12 treatments viz., T₁: VC@0 t/ha.+ FYM @0 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₂: VC@2 t/ha.+ FYM @0 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₃: VC@4 t/ha.+ FYM @0 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₄: VC@6 t/ha.+ FYM @0 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₅: VC@0 t/ha.+ FYM @5 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₆: VC@2 t/ha+ FYM @5 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₇: VC@4 t/ha.+ FYM @5 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₈: VC@6 t/ha.+ FYM @5 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₉: VC@0 t/ha.+ FYM @10 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₁₀: VC@2 t/ha.+ FYM @10 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₁₁: VC@4 t/ha+ FYM @10 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha, T₁₂: VC@6 t/ha.+ FYM @10 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha. The results reveal that increase in Vermicompost, FYM and phosphate solubilizing bacteria level had significant response on vegetative growth yield and quality of Spinach. The treatment T₁₂ - VC@6 t/ha.+ FYM @10 t/ha.+ PSB@4 kg/ha was found to be the best treatment among the different treatments with growth, yield and quality for Spinach under satna condition.
