ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF ORGANIC MANURES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF HOLY BASIL (Ocimum sanctum L.)(College of Horticulture, Bharsar Campus, V.C.S.G. Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, 2016-09) Dobal, Shamli; Nautiyal, B.P. (Dr.); Upadhyay, Sadeep (Dr.) (Co-advisor)The present investigations entitled “Effect of organic manures on growth and yield of Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum L.)” was carried out under polyhouse during winter season of 2015 at Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Block of VCSG Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Bharsar, Pauri - Garhwal Uttarakhand. The treatments were consisted of three level of organic manure (FYM 24 T/ha, Litter 24 T/ha and Vermicompost 9 T/ha) and four levels of their combinations (Farmyard Manure 12T/ha + Vermicompost 4.5 T/ha, Litter 12 T/ha + Vermicompost 4.5 T/ha, Farmyard Manure 12 T/ha+ Litter 12 T/ha and Farmyard Manure 8 T/ha + Litter 8 T/ha + Vermicompost 3 T/ha) were replicated thrice in a spacing of (30cm×30 cm) in a plot size 1.2 m × 1.2 m. The experiment was laid down with RBD. One month old seedlings were transplanted on the last week of August in polyhouse. Most of the growth parameters viz., plant height (cm), number of branches, number of leaves, plant spread (cm), leaf surface area, leaf fresh and dry weight (q/ha) of Ocimum sanctum L. They were significantly higher under Farmyard Manure + Litter + Vermicompost 8 T/ha + 8 T/ha + 3 T/ha application at 90 days after transplanting. Soil physico-chemical properties viz., Bulk density, Particle density, pH, EC, organic carbon and available nitrogen were significantly higher under Farmyard Manure + Litter + Vermicompost 8 T/ha + 8 T/ha + 3 T/ha application after harvest stage.ThesisItem Open Access Bio-Statistical Analysis in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)(College of Horticulture, Bharsar Campus, V.C.S.G. Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, 2016-09) Tariyal, Yashwant Singh; Nautiyal, B.P. (Dr.); Bisht, S.S.The present investigation was carried out at the MAP Block of Department of Plantation Crop, Spices Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, College of Horticulture, Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry during February to June 2016, as in plains the crop is sown in October and under hill condition it is shown in mid of February. The experiment is carried out with twenty genotype replicated in three replication in Randomized complete block design (RCBD). The genotypes of fenugreek were evaluated for the estimation of genetic variability, Heritability, genetic gain, correlation, and genetic divergence. The characters under study were days to 50 per cent germination, days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height (cm), number of branch per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, pods length (cm), dry matter content (%), harvest index, day to harvesting maturity, test weight (g), seed yield per plant (g) and seed yield per plot (g). All the genotypes show significant difference for all the character under study. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was recorded high number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, test weight and yield plot-1 indicating wide range of variations and offered better scope for improvement of crop. The genotype shows high to moderate heritability for all the character under study with two genotype having high genetic advance and rest of all having low genetic advance. The phenotypic and genotypic correlation among different characters showed that yield has positive association with days to 50% flowering, plant height, pod length, number of seeds pod-1, harvest index and test weight. The path coefficient analysis revealed that out of all characters studied number of pods plant-1, harvest index, dry matter content, number of seeds pod-1 and plant height had direct and positive effect on seed yield plot-1 whereas, number of branches plant-1, days to 50% germination, days to harvest maturity, days to 50% flowering, pod length had direct negative effect on seed yield plot-1 indicating that these are important characters for the selection of high yielding genotypes as they exerted positive direct effect. On the basis of performance of yield all genotypes were grouped into four clusters. Highest inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster III and IV. It shows that, hybridization between genotypes from cluster III and cluster IV can produce better segregants in segregating populations.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Organic Manures on Growth Performance of Hedychium spicatum Smith(College of Horticulture, Bharsar Campus, V.C.S.G.
