Effect of Organic Nutrients on Flowering and Herbage Yield of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basillcum L.)

摘要

A pot study was conducted in sweet basil with organic manures viz,, FYM, vermicompost, AzospiriUum, posphobacteria, panchakavya, neem cake and inorganic fertilizers (120:100:100 Kg NPK ha~(-1)). The data on number of leaves produced, time taken for 50per cent flowering and fresh weight of the herb per plant were collected and analysed. Among the different treatment combinations, application of FYM @ 25 ha~(-1) + AzospiriUum + Posphobacteria @ 2Kg ha~(-1) and panchakavya 3 per cent as foliar spary recorded earlier flowering and highest herbage yield per plant in sweet basil.
