Abstract:

The present experiment was carried out during July to October 2019 in Research Field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with 13 treatments, replicated thrice with Organic (FYM, Vermicompost, Poultry manure & inorganic (NPK) on growth, yield and quality of Bitter Gourd.The application of effect of inorganic fertilizer 50%NPK and organic 50% vermicompost, 50% poultry manure was found to be best treatment combination for yield and yield attributing traits and as well as for benefit cost ratios and had a beneficial effect on bitter gourd. The maximum average yield (55.84), Fruit yield per plant (kg) (2.79) average fruit width (16.05) average fruit weight g (58.59) average fruit length cm (13.88) first female flower (51.85), number of primary branch (3.64) (8.54) (14.78) and vine length (130.44) (250.47) (376.06) was recorded for 30,45,60 days.It was also observed that some of the quality attributes like TSS (o Brix), of the fruit were significantly influenced with the application of different levels of vermicompost while vitamin C were significantly affected with the application of both organic and inorganic fertilizers in different combinations.
