Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at horticulture field of Rama University, Department of Horticulture Faculty of Agriculture and Allied Industries during October 2020 to February 2021 to assess the growth and yield attributes of cauliflower (brassica oleracea, botrytis L) cultivar variety, snow crown under various Integrated Nutrient Management (INM). The experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design. There were 8 treatments comparing T1 control, T2 (recommended dose of NPK (150:100:80 kg/ha), T3(half dose of NPK/ha+FYM@15 tonnes/ha) T4, (half dose of NPK/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha), T5 (half dose of NPK/ha + FYM @15 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @5 kg/ha), T6 (half dose of NPK/ha + vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha), T7 (half dose of NPK/ha + Vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + FYM @ 15 tonnes/ha), T8 (half dose of NPK/ha + Vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha) which was replicated three times.
The result revealed that the highest plant height (60.50 cm), number of leaves(16.33), plant spread (44.50 cm), curd diameter (20 cm), curd weight per plant (1006.7g), curd yield per plot (9.3 kg) and curd weight per hectare (32 tons/ha) were observed in half dose of NPK/ha + Vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha (T8). INM treatments showed lesser result on growth and yield of cauliflower in T1 (control). Thus, farmers are suggested to apply half dose of NPK/ha + Vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha to increase growth and yield of cauliflower.
