Abstract
Aim: To study the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on quality and soil parameters of kalmegh.
Study Design: The experiment was carried out with 13 treatments in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: The research trial was carried out at P.G students research block, College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, SKLTSHU, Hyderabad during Kharif, 2021.
Results: Among the organic and biofertilizer treatmental combinations the results reported that the (T6): 75 % N through VC + 12.5 % N through NC + 12.5 % N through PM + AMC, T10: 50 % N through VC + 25 % N through NC + 25 % N through PM + AMC recorded the highest quality and soil analysis compared to other treatments.
Conclusion: Treatmental combinations of vermicompost, Neem cake, Poultry manure and Arka Microbial Consortium recorded the highest quality and soil analysis compared to other treatments.
Keywords: Farm yard manure, vermicompost, neem cake, arka microbial consortium
