ABSTRACT
An experiment conducted to study effect of organic manures on dry biomass yield of kharif dodi (Leptadenia reticulata) under middle Gujarat condition at Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Research Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during kharif season of the years 2010-11, 2012-13 and 2013-14. A set of six treatments FYM 10 tones/ha, Poultry manures 5 tones/ha, Vermicompost 2 tones/ha, Caster cake 2 tones/ha, Neem cake 2 tones/ha and Biofertilizer-Azotobactor+Phosphate culture @ 1 liter/ha each were taken under Randomized Block Design to evaluate dry biomass yield of dodi. It can be summarized that use of FYM 10 t/ha proved useful in increasing growth and yield attributes over other treatments. The higher dry biomass yield (8799 kg ha-1) was obtained under treatment T1 (FYM 10 t/ha) and also get higher net realization worth ` 1,81,792 ha-1 with BCR (1.70).
Key words :
Biomass yield, Dodi, FYM, Organic manures, Poultry manures.
