 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at Instructional Farm, ACHF, NAU, Navsari, Gujarat, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with factorial concept and repeated thrice with ten treatment combinations, consisting two level of bio-fertilizer viz., Without bio-fertilizer (B0), With bio-fertilizer (B1) and five level integrated nutrient sources viz., 80:40:40 NPK kg ha-1 (F1), 75 % RDN + 25 % N through FYM (F2), 75 % RDN + 25 % N through vermicompost (F3), 50 % RDN + 50 % N through FYM (F4), 50 % RDN + 50 % N through vermicompost (F5).
The individually application of bio-fertilizer (B1) and 50 % RDN + 50 % N through FYM (F4) in senna significantly influenced vegetative, and yield parameters as compared to other treatments which registered the maximum plant height and more number of branches per plant. The yield parameters like maximum fresh weight of leaves, dry weight of leaves, maximum number of pods per plant, maximum fresh weight of pods and dry weight of pods were also recorded under the application of both the treatment individually. So it can be concluded that the individual application of bio-fertilizer and 50 % RDN + 50 % N through FYM found better for growth as well as yield of senna.

Keywords: Senna, INM, NPK, Bio-fertilizer, FYM and Vermin compost.
