Abstract:
The present study was carried out at Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Belagavi district, Karnataka during 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out as per Split plot design with two main factors and seven sub treatments replicated thrice. Among the spacing treatments, wider spacing (60 × 30 cm) recorded maximum plant height (34.40, 39.30, 47.35 and 62.73 cm at 45, 60, 90 DAP and at harvest, respectively), plant spread (43.99 and 67.21 cm at 90 DAP and at harvest, respectively) and number of branches (11.88 and 29.85 at 60 and 90 DAP, respectively). Among the bio formulations and bio fertilizers maximum plant height (36.10, 41.73, 50.27 and 66.80 cm), plant spread (35.98, 40.50, 47.67 and 73.12 cm) and number of branches (6.12, 14.70, 38.03 and 49.73) were recorded with RDF + AMF + PG + HA at 45, 60, 90 DAP and at harvest, respectively.
