Influence of Farm Yard Manure, Jeevamrutha and Panchagavya on Growth and Yield of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.)

摘要

A field experiment was conducted at organic Fanning Block of Research Institute on Organic Farming, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru during 2014 to study the combined effect of FYM and liquid manures (jeevamrutha and panchagvya) ongrowth and yield of french bean. There were twelve treatment combinations comprising of two levels of each jeevamrutha (0 and 10001 ha1) and panchagavya (0 and 3 %) with three levels of FYM. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomised Complete Block Design with three replications. Application of FYM in terms of200 per cent N equivalent recorded significantly higherplant height (26.5 cm), number of branches (7.17), leaf area (1249 cm2) at 60 DAS, numberofpods per plant (15.33), pod weight per plant (78.45 g) and green pod yield (135.2q/ha) as compared to FYM in terms of 100 per cent N equivalent (24.9 cm, 6.23, 1091 cm2,13.57, 69.86 g and 120.3 qha"1, respectively). Soil application of jeevamrutha (1000 1 ha1) and foliar spray of panchagavya(3%) recorded significantly higher plant height (26.7and 26.6 cm), number of branches (6.93 and 6.89), leaf area (1325 and 1263 cm2),numberof podsplanf1 (15.89 and 15.40), pod weight planf1 (81.58 and 79.42 g) and green pod yield (141.7 and 138.7 qha1) ascompared to without jeevamrutha(25.0 cm, 6.28,991.0 cm2, 13.18,67.30 g and 117.0qha', respectively) and without panchagavya application (25.1 cm, 6.32, 1054.0 cm2,13.67, 69.56 g and 120.0qha', respectively).
