Abstract:
The present study on the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth parameters of senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) for leaf production was carried out during the kharif season (June - November) in the year 2023 at ammaiyarpatti (Vembakottai Block), Virudhunagar district, Tamil Nadu. The field experiment was consisting of different combination of nutrients viz., organic manures (VC, FYM, Neem cake) and biofertilizers (Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with thirteen treatments with three replications. Among various treatments, plants supplied with T11 - VC @ 10 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 2.5 kg ha-1 + Phosphobacteria @ 2 kg ha-1 recorded maximum growth parameters such as plant height (cm), number of branches plant-1 and leaf area (cm2 plant-1) at 90, 115, 140 DAS respectively.
