Abstract:
The experiment entitled “Effect of Different Organic Manures on Plant Growth and Establishment of Carambola (Averrhoa carambola L) cv. Golden Star (Florida)” was carried out during the year 2020-2021. The experiment were laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising of 12 treatments viz., T₁ 5kg FYM + 1.5 kg Vermicompost plant-¹_, T₂ 6.5kg FYM + 3.5 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_,T₃ 8.5kg FYM + 2.5 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_, T₄ 1.5 kg FYM + 1.5 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_, T₅ 3.5 kg FYM + 3.5 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_, T₆ 1.5 kg Vermicompost+ 3.5 kg FYM plant^-1_, T_{7 3}.5 kg Vermicompost+ 1.5 kg FYM plant^-1_, T₈ 3.5 kg Vermicompost+ 5 kg FYM plant^-1_, T₉ 3.5 kg Vermicompost+ 6.5 kg FYM plant^-1_, T₁₀ 6.5 kg Vermicompost+ 6 kg FYM plant^-1_, T₁₁ 10 kg FYM + 5 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_, T₁₂ 11.5kg FYM + 2 kg Vermicompost plant^-1_, with three replications. The application of 3.5 kg Vermicompost+ 1.5 kg FYM plant^-1 (T₇) was found to be the best treatment in terms of plant height (105.55), number of branches plant^-1 (17.44), number of leaves plant^-1 (570.11), stem girth (5.84), plant spread (East – West and North – South) (83.49) and leaf area (9.03 cm²).
