Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Effect of different concentration of nutrients on Growth, Yield and Quality of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) In Hydroponics System” was carried out during 2021-2022 in Department of Horticulture, School of Agriculture, Om Sterling Global University, Hisar (Haryana). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and eight treatments including control. On the basis of results obtained, It is concluded that the treatment T₃:Epsom salts and micros (7.5ml/10L) (MnSO₄, ZnSO₄, CuSO₄, B, Common Salt) +Iron Chelate (7.5m1/10L) + Mono Ammonium phosphate (7.5ml/10L) +(N:P:K 11:48:00) + Calcium Nitrate (17.5ml/10L)+( N:P:K 15:00:00) + Pottasium Nitrate (17.5ml/10L) +(N:P:K 13:00:44) was found to be best in terms of growth parameters, herbage yield and dry herbage yield, quality parameters of sweet basis in hydroponics system. Maximum gross return (Rs. 2269.82.) and net return (Rs. 1249.45.) with maximum benefit cost ratio (2.22) was also observed in treatment T_3.
