Effect of organic sources of nutrients on growth and yield of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was performed during 2024-2025 to find out the effect of organic sources of nutrients on growth and yield of brinjal. The results revealed that maximum plant height at 60 DAT and 90 DAT (32.01 cm and 48.50 cm, respectively), number of leaves per plant at 60 DAT and 90 DAT (19.81 and 36.28, respectively), number of branches per plant at final harvest (12.87) and minimum days taken to flower initiation (61.65) was obtained with application of 100 percent RDN through vermicompost, Jeevamrit 500 litre ha1 and Panchagavya 10 percent. Among yield parameters, maximum yield per plant (0.68 kg) and yield per plot (16.28 kg) were also obtained with application of 100 percent RDN through vermicompost, Jeevamrit 500 litre ha-1 and Panchagavya 10 percent.
