Abstract
A study was conducted at the Research field, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Gwalior M.P. during rabi 2021-22. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the plant in terms of various parameters such as AGR, CGR, leaf area, fresh leaf yield and dry leaf yield. The results of the study indicated that the application of organic manures and biofertilizers improved the plant growth and yield. The highest median AGR (0.311 and 0.395 g/day) at 30-60 and 60-90 DAS, CGR (7.99 and 12.21 g/m2/day) at 30-60 and 60-90 DAS, leaf area (93.90 cm2), fresh leaf yield (5.78 Kg/plot) and (96.26 q/ha), dry leaf yield (0.49 Kg/plot) and (8.18 q/ha) were observed in the plants treated with FYM (16 t/ha) + Vermicompost (4 t/ha) + Rhizobium (10 ml/kg seed) + PSB (10 ml/kg seed) + KSB (10 ml/kg seed) as compared with control.
