Effect of Some Organic Fertilizers on Quality and Yield of Leaf Cuttings of Palak (Beta vulgaris) cv Bengalensis

Abstract

The present experiment was carried out at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (A Central University), Vidya Vihar, Rae Bareli Road, Lucknow, U.P., India during the year 2019-21. The field experiment was laid out in simple randomized block design comprising of eight treatments combinations with three replication son quality and yield parameters of palak. The experiment finding reveals that all the quality parameters of spinach i.e. chlorophyll content, ascorbic acid, leaf moisture and dry weight were significantly improved by FYM (M3) and application and third time cuttings (C3). Maximum green leaf yield/ha was reported under this treatment has significantly affect treatment (M3) FYM manure applied and three-time cuttings. The maximum chlorophyll content was recorded under the treatment (M3) Azotobacter and first cuttings (M3). The maximum ascorbic acid content was noticed under the treatment(M3) with first time cuttings (C3).
