Effects of different organic manures on yield and economics of Amaranthus

Abstract

The experiment was conducted during Kharif seasons of 2019-20 at AICRP (Vegetables) RHREC, Dharwad, Karnataka. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with seven treatments with three replications. Significantly increased in yield per plot and per hectare was recorded with the application of T1 (RDF) of 8.7 kg and 183.05 q/ha followed by T5 (Vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + PSB + Azospirrilum@5kg/ha each) of 7.60kg and 162.36.33q/ha. Higher gross return (Rs.146440), net return (Rs.113540) and B:C ration of 3.45 were reported in Treatment (T1) RDF. While lower gross return (Rs.118776), net return (Rs.84526) and B:C ration of 2.47 were reported in T3 FYM @ 20 t/ha.
