Abstract
The study was carried out 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 nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content in herb and grain. The results of the study indicated that the application of organic manures and bio fertilizers improved the nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content in herb and grain. The highest nitrogen (1.53% and 3.35%), phosphorous (0.43% and 0.56%) and potassium (0.46% and 0.57%) 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.
