INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS ORGANIC INPUTS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SNAKE GOURD (Trichosanthes anguina L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the farmer field at Kethanur village, Palladam taluk, Tirupur District, Tamil Nadu during kharif season of 2015-2016 to assess the effect of organic inputs on growth and yield of snake gourd. The results showed that application vermicompost along with panchagavya spray increased 17.4 % yield of snake gourd compared to other organic inputs. Appreciable improvement in growth characters like vine length (8.69 m), stem girth (4.89 cm), dry matter production (8964 kg/ha), and yield attributes viz., fruits per plant (15.20), fruit weight (662.80 g/fruit), and yield (10.07 kg/plant, 20.15 t/ha) of snake gourd were observed with application of vermicompost + panchagavya spray (3%) which was comparable with vermicompost + 3G extract @ 3%. Finally, it can be concluded that use of vermicompost with panchavgaya spray which is economically viable as well as ecologically safe is almost important to improve the productivity of snake gourd
