 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2015-16 at vegetable research field, Department of Horticulture, Allahabad School of Agriculture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 13 treatments and each replicated thrice. The result revealed that T6 (150 kg N ha-1) recorded the maximum vine length (214.29 cm), maximum no of branches (10.33) minimum days (49.33) to earliest flowering. Maximum length of the lateral Branch (117.69 cm) and was recorded with T7 (100N+100P+100K) through FYM 50 % NPK in the form of Urea, SSP, MOP. T10 (150N+75P+100K) recorded minimum days (59.00) required from sowing to first female flower appearance and minimum node number (4.33) at which male flower appears was recorded with the same treatment. T1 (100N+150P+100K) recorded the minimum node number at which female flower appears is (7.33). 

Key words: Ash gourd, Growth, NPK,
