V.M. GANIGER, BALESH GOUDAPPANAVAR, SHRUTI GONDI and ANAND NANJAPPANAVAR. 2017. Response of organic amendments on leafy vegetables. Green Farming  Vol. 8 (4) : 949-951 ; July-August, 2017

ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 to study the response of leafy vegetables under organic amendment. The experiment was laid in Completely Randomized design to determine the growth, yield and quality of palak, red amaranthus, white amaranthus, coriander, fenugreek, dill, sorrel. The results revealed that treatment T6 (53.67) in winter season crop showing more number of leaves than summer season crop T6 (46.00) while, winter season crop T3 (71.67 cm) showing more plant height than summer season crop T3 (57.42 cm). Regarding leaf length, T1 (16 cm) in winter season crop showing more leaf length than summer season crop T1 (8.28 cm). Winter season crop T1 (10.83 cm) showing maximum leaf width than summer season cropT1 (5.25 cm) and followed by treatment T3 and T2. Root to shoot ratio obtained between winter and summer season was found to be significant with organic fertilizers applied. Winter season crop showing more root to shoot ratio than the summer season crop. T3 (12.92:59.5) in winter season crop showing more root to shoot ratio than summer season crop T3 (9.45:48.75). T3 (0.33) in winter season crop showing more individual plant weight than summer season crop T3 (0.30) and fallowed by treatment T2 and T1. Winter season crop T2 (422.67 g) showing more individual bundle weight than summer season cropT2 (390.00 g). Total yield obtained between winter and summer season was found to be significant with organic fertilizers applied. Winter season crop showing more yield than the summer season crop. Treatment T1 (12.33 kg) in winter season crop showing more yield than summer season crop T1 (9.43 kg). Thus by inculcating organic amendments in leafy vegetable production, one can produce sustainable crop production and produce valuable, insecticide free healthy and tasty foods.
