ABSTRACT
Improved agronomic practices are required to boost of Vernonia medicinal crop with interaction of organic and inorganic fertilizer which affect seed yield and its related traits. For fulfilling this objective an experiment was carried out at Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during rabi season of the years 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 in loamy sand soil. Four different organic manure treatments i.e. M0 : Control, M1 : FYM 10 t/ha, M2 : Castor cake 1.5 t/ha and M3 : Vermicompost 2.5 t/ha are interacted with three nitrogen levels i.e. N0 : Control, N1 : 25 kg N/ha, N2 : 50 kg N/ha. Among different treatment interactions results revealed that combination of M1N2 (FYM 10 t/ha with 50 kg N/ha) recorded significantly highest seed yield (1024 kg/ha) with net return (54,876 `/ha) and BCR (2.15)
Key words :
Nitrogen levels, Organic manures, Seed yield and Vernonia.
