Response of Different Organic Manures and Spacing on Growth, Yield, Quality and Economics of Kalmegh Panchang under Loamy Sand of Inceptisol of Anand

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of different organic manures (FYM, castor cake and vermicompost) and spacing (30 cm × 15 cm, 30 cm × 30 cm, 30 cm × 45 cm and 30 cm × 60 cm) on growth, yield quality and economics of Kalmegh Panchang as well as on soil properties in inceptisol under Kharif season from 2007-08 to 2009-10 at Medicinal and Aromatic Project, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The results revealed that the effect of organic manures and spacing were found non-significant for growth parameters, yield and quality of crop. However, higher values of yield components and economics of the crop were recorded under treatment combinations M₂S₁ and M₁S₁, respectively. Slight improvements in chemical properties was observed due to continuous application of organic manures under study.
