dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled "Effect of different biofertilizers and planting densities on the growth and yield of Spilanthes acmella Murr. under Morus based agroforestry system" was carried out at the experimental field of Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during 2015. The study was undertaken with the objectives (a) to study the effect of different types of biofertilizers on the growth and yield of Spilanthes acmella and (b) to study the growth of Spilanthes acmella under different planting densities. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design comprising of Morus alba as tree component planted at a spacing of 9 m x 3 m and open field condition, under which akarkara plants treated with 5 different biofertilizer combinations viz. T1 (Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria + FYM), T2 (Azotobacter + Phosphate solubelizing bacteria + FYM), T3 (Azotobacter + Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza + FYM), T4 (Azospirillum + Phosphate solubelizing bacteria + FYM), T5 (Azospirillum + Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza + FYM ) and T6 (RDF + FYM) as control were grown. A sub-treatment of three different planting densities S1 (30 cm x 40 cm), S2 (30 cm x 30 cm) and S3 (30 cm x 20 cm) were incorporated for each of the biofertilizer treatments. The plot size was 2 m x 1 m. The observations were recorded on multiple growth and yield parameters of akarkara and soil chemical properties. All biofertilizer treatments had no significant influence on the growth and yield attributes of akarkara. Planting condtions, however, did significantly affect all the growth and yield attributes of akarkara where plants under sole cropping showed better results as compared to tree associated plants. Planting density also significantly influenced the growth and yield attributes where plants S2 and S3 performed better as compared to S1. From the present investigation, it can be concluded that akarkara performed better under sole cropping conditions and the biofertilizers selected for the study had no significant effect on the growth and yield of the plant. Furthermore, standardization of planting density requires further studies particularly for agroforestry systems.en_US
