Abstract:
The experiment entitled “Impact of Organic Manure on Growth, Yield and Quality of Knol Khol (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes L.) cv. Green Wonder” was conducted during Rabi season of the year 2021-2022 on Instructional farm of Department of Horticulture, AKS University, Satna (M.P.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising of 12 treatments viz., T₁- Control, T₂ -2 t/ha PM + 5 t/ha VC, T₃ – 2 t/ha PM + 7 t/ha VC, T₄ – 2 t/ha PM + 10 t/ha VC, T₅ – 5 t/ha PM + 5 t/ha VC, T₆ - 5 t/ha PM + 7 t/ha VC, T₇ -5 t/ha PM + 10 t/ha VC, T₈ -7 t/ha PM + 5 t/ha VC, T₉ - 7 t/ha PM + 7 t/ha VC, T₁₀ - 7 t/ha PM +10 t/ha VC, T₁₁ -10 t/ha PM + 5 t/ha VC, T₁₂ -10 t/ha PM + 7 t/ha VC, each replicated three times. Treatments were randomly arranged in each replication, divided into twelve plots. The results reveal that the application of 10 t/ha Poultry manure + 7 t/ha Vermicompost (T₁₂) gave maximum plant height, highest number of leaves per plant, leaf area per plant, diameter of knob, weight of the knob, yield per plot and knob yield of Knol Khol.
