| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled, “Impact of enrich compost and humic acid on yield, quality and nutrient uptake by Safed Musli” was conducted during kharif, 2021-22 at Research Farm, Nagarjun Medicinal Plants Garden, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra. The soil of the experimental site was Inceptisols which was moderately alkaline in reaction, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. The objectives were to study the effect of enrich NPS compost and foliar application of humic acid on the yield, growth and quality of Safed Musli and to assess the effect of enrich NPS compost and foliar application of humic acid on the fertility status of soils. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments replicated in three replications. The treatments comprised of absolute control, Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1, NPS compost @ 3 t ha-1, Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid, Vermicompost @ 5.0 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid, Vermicompost @ 7.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid, NPS compost @ 1.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid, NPS compost @ 3.0 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid, NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. The humic acid sprayed at 60 and 90 days after planting of safed musli. The results showed that, the application of NPS compost @4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid were recorded significantly highest fresh root, dry root, dry matter yield and yield attributing characters of Safed Musli which was found at par with the application NPS compost @ 3.0 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. Similarly, all the growth parameters like number of leaves, leaf area and chlorophyll content of Safed Musli were obtained significantly highest with the application of NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. The quality parameters such as saponin content and saponin yield, protein, fiber and carbohydrate content in roots of Safed Musli were recorded significantly highest in the treatment NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. However, significantly highest nutrient uptake was recorded in the treatment NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. Whereas, the significant improvement in chemical properties of soil were recorded with the application of NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid. Hence, it is concluded that the application of NPS compost @ 4.5 t ha-1 + 2 sprays of 0.5 % humic acid at 60 and 90 DAP resulted significantly increased in yield and yield attributing parameters, growth parameters, quality parameters and improvement in soil fertility in Inceptisols under rainfed conditions. | |
