The field experiments were conducted to study the effect of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures, Panchagavya and bio fertlizers on micronutrient concentration in shoot, ischolar_main and ischolar_main yield of Ashwagandha at College of Agriculture, Hyderabad during Rabi 2007-08 and Kharif 2008. The results revealed that there was significant difference observed with fertilizer levels, organic manures, Panchagavya and BF. However, their interaction showed non significant effect on Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu concentration. The micronutrient concentration was higher in shoot at flowering than ischolar_main. At harvest, the concentration relatively increased in ischolar_main and decreased in shoot. The highest dry ischolar_main yield was recorded with 150% RDF+castor cake 2.5 t ha-1+BF.

Abstract


The field experiments were conducted to study the effect of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures, Panchagavya and bio fertlizers on micronutrient concentration in shoot, ischolar_main and ischolar_main yield of Ashwagandha at College of Agriculture, Hyderabad during Rabi 2007-08 and Kharif 2008. The results revealed that there was significant difference observed with fertilizer levels, organic manures, Panchagavya and BF. However, their interaction showed non significant effect on Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu concentration. The micronutrient concentration was higher in shoot at flowering than ischolar_main. At harvest, the concentration relatively increased in ischolar_main and decreased in shoot. The highest dry ischolar_main yield was recorded with 150% RDF+castor cake 2.5 t ha-1+BF.
