Abstract
A pot culture experiment entitled “Effect of Different Jeevamrut based
Liquid Organic Formulations on Biochemical Properties of Soil and on Plant
Growth of Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] Under Pot Culture
Conditions” was conducted during kharif 2019-20 at organic farming unit, Rajasthan
College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. The soil used for experimental pots was
clay-loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.87), low in available nitrogen
(241.2 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorus (20.9 kg ha-1) and high in available
potassium (351.3 kg ha-1). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized
design with three replications and seven treatments consisting of control and six
combinations of jeevamrut (jeevamrut (control), jeevamrut + lemon leaf extract
(2.5%), jeevamrut + Aloe vera leaf extract (2.5%), jeevamrut + lemon leaf extract
(2.5%) + Aloe vera leaf extract (2.5%), jeevamrut + silica (1%), jeevamrut +
vermiwash (5%), jeevamrut + lemon leaf extract (2.5%) + Aloe vera leaf extract
(2.5%) + silica (1%) + vermiwash (5%)). The blackgram variety Pratap Urd 01 was
sown on 12th July 2019 in 21 pots by using 10 seeds in each pot.
A significant increase in plant height and dry matter accumulation at 60 DAS
and at harvest, root length at harvest, number of leaves at 60 DAS and at harvest,
number of pods-1 plant and number of seeds pod-1, test weight, seed yield, haulm yield
and biological yield, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and iron content in seed
and haulm and their uptake and protein content, dehydrogenase activity and soil
microbial biomass (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) were observed with the
application of jeevamrut + lemon leaf extract (2.5%) + Aloe vera leaf extract (2.5%) +
silica (1%) + vermiwash (5%) i.e. T7 over control (T1) and other jeevamrut based
formulations.
Application of combinations of jeevamrut based formulations from different
organic resources had no significant effect on harvest index, soil pH, electric
conductivity (EC), available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and iron content of
soil after harvest of blackgram
