Abstract:

An investigation on effect of soil and foliar application of organic nutrients on physiological and plant analysis characters of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) through organic nutrient management practices was carried out in the farmer’s field, Pattagapatti village, Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu during two seasons viz., season I (March – June 2020) and season II (January – April 2022). The experiment comprised of 15 treatments replicated thrice was executed following the principles of Randomized Block Design. The experimental results revealed that the physiological parameters viz., chlorophyll content and dry matter production of plants were observed to be the highest in the treatment which received the combined application of vermicompost 5 t ha-1, CBF 2 kg ha-1 and humi power (1 percent) as foliar application for both the season. Among the plant analysis the highest nutrient uptake was recorded in the treatment that received the combined application of vermicompost 5 t ha-1, CBF 2 kg ha-1 and humi power (1 percent) as foliar application.


Keywords: Bottle gourd, chlorophyll, humi power, vermicompost, vitamin C
