    (dbskkv., Dapoli, 2019) BAGADE, SUYOG ANANT; Narkhede, S. S.
    A field experiment on “Effect of irrigation regimes and fertigation levels on growth, yield and quality of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus Linn.)” was conducted during 2018-19 at Pitambari Farm House, Sakhaloli, Tal. Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (Maharashtra) on acidic sandy clay loam soils in Split Plot design with sixteen treatments and three replications comprising of main plot four irrigation regimes I1, I2, I3 and I4 (60% ETC, 70% ETC, 80% ETC and 90% ETC, respectively) and four fertigation levels F1, F2, F3 and F4 (100:50:50, 150:75:75, 200:100:100 and 250:125:125, respectively), where the observations on plant height, number of tillers, plant spread E-W and N-S at 30 days interval were recorded up to first harvesting period i.e. 120 days and continue to second harvesting period. Oil percentage was recorded firstly at 60 DAP and subsequently after 30 days interval upto second harvesting period. Fresh herb yield and oil yield were recorded at first and second harvesting stages. Results revealed that among all the treatments, with respect to irrigation, I3 (80% ETC) superior over all the treatments in plant height (202.10 cm) in first harvesting period and also in second harvesting period I3 (80% ETC) superior over all the treatments in plant height (137.66 cm). In fertigation levels, F3 (200:100:100) superior in plant height (198.15 cm) in first harvesting period as well as in second harvesting period (137.35 cm). Number of tillers with respect to irrigation regimes, recorded maximum in treatment I4 (90% ETC) 53.94 in first harvesting period and in second harvesting recorded highest in treatment I3 (80% ETC) 43.07. In fertigation levels, number of tillers observed maximum in treatment F1 (100:50:50) (51.71) and also in second harvesting 42.88. In irrigation regimes, maximum spread east-west observed in I4 (90% ETC) 81.31 cm and 115.06 cm in first and second harvesting period, respectively. In fertigation levels, maximum east-west spread recorded in treatment F4 (250:125:125) 81.92 cm in first harvesting period and 111.37 cm in treatment F1 (100:50:50) in second harvesting period. In north-south spread with respect to irrigation regimes, maximum spread observed in treatment I1 (60 % ETC) 54.43 cm and in second harvesting period observed maximum in treatment I2 (70 % ETC) 100.34 cm. In fertigation levels, maximum spread observed in treatment F4 (250:125:125) 54.19 cm in first harvesting and 97.08 cm in second harvesting period. Regarding oil percentage of lemongrass with respect to irrigation regimes, maximum oil percentage found in treatment I3 (80% ETC) 0.64% in first harvest and 0.69 % in second harvest in I3 (70% ETC). In fertigation levels, highest oil percentage found in treatment F4 (250:125:125) 0.68 % in first harvest and 0.66 % in second harvest in same treatment. In first harvesting, highest fresh herb yield found in treatment I3 (20061.73 kg ha-1) in irrigation regimes and in second harvesting highest herb yield obtained from treatment I2 (14713.40 kg ha-1). In fertigation levels, highest herb yield found in treatment F1 (100:50:50) 20998.68 kg ha-1 in first as well second harvest 16145.28 kg ha-1. The main product is oil yield, the highest oil yield found in treatment I3 (80 % ETC) 125.98 kg ha-1 in first harvest and second harvest 108.08 kg ha-1 in irrigation regimes. Regarding fertigation levels, maximum oil yield obtained from treatment F1 (100:50:50) 116.35 kg ha-1 in first harvest and in second harvest 99.15 kg ha-1. From economic point of view, the treatment combinations of I3F1 i.e. drip irrigation with 80 % ETC along with 100:50:50 fertigation is most profitable treatment.

    (dbskkv., Dapoli, 2018) AREKAR, PURNIMA CHANDRAHAS; Narkhede, S. S.
    Sweet flag (Acorus calamus Linn.) is important medicinal crop and belongs to the genus Acorus of the family Acoraceae and is widely distributed temperate to sub temperate regions. It is grown well under submerged condition. It is a popular medicinal plant used in several Ayurvedic formulation in India. Due to its growing medicinal use, it is being rapidly extracted from wild. It requires less attention in regard to plant protection as well as protection from stay cattle and wild animals as compared to rice. Acorus calamus Linn. will be best alternate crop for rice cultivation in Konkan region. There is need for standardization of optimum fertilizer dose through organic source as the plant parts are directly used for the medicine. a) Title of the thesis : EFFECT OF ORGANIC MANURES ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF SWEET FLAG (Acorus calamus Linn) b) Full name of the student : Miss.

Rhizomes were collected in month of June 2017 and cleaned with tap water. Rhizomes were cut into small pieces and planted in raised beds. Pieces of sprouted rhizome were planted in the experimental field, at a spacing of 30 x 30 cm with depth of 4 cm in the month of July 2017. For these objectives, four different organic manures were used (Vermicompost, Farm yard manures, Leaf litter and Neem cake). The experiment was laidout in Randomised Block Design. Total 5 treatments having 3 different source of N (75%, 100% and 125% of N) were given to plots. The treatment was replicated thrice. A total 42 numbers of rhizomes were planted at 30 cm X 30 cm spacing in every treatment. The observations on plant height, number of leaves at 45 days interval were recorded upto 270 days. Rhizome parameters viz. rhizome length, thickness of rhizome, number of sprouting plant-1 and number of tillers plant-1 were recorded at the time of harvesting. Fresh and dry weight of leaves and rhizomes was also recorded. The treatment T4 (Farm yard manure 75% of RDN) was observed to be superior over the rest of treatments in number of leaves (20 number), thickness of rhizome (1.66 cm), weight of single plant (109.93 gm), maximum fresh weight of rhizome (51.90 gm plant-1) and maximum fresh and dry weight of leaves (45.37 gm plant-1 and 13.29 gm plant-1 respectively). The treatment T6 (Farm yard manure 125% of RDN) is superior over the rest of treatments in plant height (125.27 cm). Maximum fresh and dry weight of rhizome yield (5769.40 Kg ha-1 and 2488.36 Kg ha-1 respectively) was recorded in T4 (Farm yard manure 75% of RDN) followed by treatment T6 Farm yard manure 125% of RDN (5739.9 Kg ha-1 and 2381.5 Kg ha-1 respectively). Maximum fresh weight of leaves yield (1636.17 Kg ha-1) was recorded in T4 (Farm yard manure 75% of RDN) but maximum fresh weight of leaves per ha was recorded in T6 (6078.48 Kg ha-1).
