Abstract:
The present investigation “Effect of organic manures and Inorganic fertilizer on growth and tuber yield Cassava (Manihot esculenta) cv M4” was conducted in Research Field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, during October 2020 to July 2021.The cuttings were planted at 1m×1m spacing pattern. The experiment was laid out with thirteen treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The plants were watered immediately after planting and at weekly intervals during growing period. Based on the present investigation it is concluded that T11 RDF (50%) (N:P:K) 37.5: 25:37.5 kg ha-1+ 50% (FYM 12.5+ Vermicompost 5 + Goat manure 4 t ha-1) gave best plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, Stem diameter (cm), Number of tuberous root per plant, tuber length (cm), tuber diameter (cm), average tuber weight (g) tuber yield per plot (kg), tuber yield per hectare (t/ha) of cassava (Manihot esculenta).
