Effect of Organic Manures on the Growth and Yield Attributes of Spinach Beet (Beta vulgaris var bengalensis) at Low Hills of Uttarakhand

Abstract

A field experiment was planned and conducted during 2020-21 at Horticulture 
Research Block, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, SGRR 
University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand to investigate the “Effect of different organic manures on 
the growth and yield attributes of spinach beet at lower hills of Uttarakhand”. The experiment 
was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments including 
various organic manures at different concentrations. Observations on various growth and yield 
attributes were recorded at regular intervals. Studies on vegetative and yield attributes were 
recorded using standard method of measurements. Among all the organic treatments, soil 
application with Farmyard manure (5kg) + Vermicompost (2.5kg) + foliar spray of Vermiwash 
(25%) was sown the significant improvement in plant height (cm), number of leaves per plants, 
length of leaves (cm), width of leaves (cm), petiole length (cm), root length (cm) and yield than 
other treatments.
