Abstract:
A field experiment on “Effect of foliar application of panchagavya and banana pseudostem sap on growth and seed yield of fenugreek” was carried out at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during rabi 2020-21. The results revealed that significant improvement in seed yield, straw yield, protein content, highest gross realization (₹64,746/ha) and net realization (₹34,259/ha) was noted with an application of treatment T₄ (Panchagavya @ 4% spray at pre flowering + pod setting stage) over other treatments but which remained at par with treatment T₁₀ with respect to seed yield, straw yield, protein content and gross realization ₹62,748 and T₃ (Panchagavya @ 4% spray at pod setting) for net realization (₹32,863). The highest value of benefit: cost ratio (2.14) was accrued with treatment T₃ closely followed by treatment T₄ with BCR of 2.12.
