Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizer on plant growth and spike yield of Golden Rod (Solidago Canadensis L.) cv. Golden Gate was carried out on Experimental field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science. Based on the experiment, Effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizer on plant growth and spike yield of Golden Rod (Solidago Canadensis L.) cv. Golden Gate, it is concluded that T₆ RDF (150:100:100) + FYM10 t ha^-1 + BF 10 kg ha^-1+ NC 2 t ha^-1 has shown the best treatment in terms of plant growth and yield of Golden Rod cv. Golden Gate. In which it has shown best plant height, plant spread (cm) in (E-W and N-S), length of the stalk, weight of the stalk, number of stalks per plant, number of days taken for 50% flowering and 100% flowering and vase life when kept in water. As far as economics concerned, application treatment found best T₆ RDF (150:100:100) + FYM10 t ha^-1 + BF 10 kg ha^-1+ NC 2 t ha^-1 maximum net returns with maximum BCR (4.51).
