Abstract

The present experiment was carried out during 2021-22 in Central Horticulture Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 10 treatment replicated thrice with an objective to find out best treatment for growth, yield, quality and B:C ratio. The treatments were T0 (Control), T1 (NPK (RDF) 15:5:20),T2 (Biocapsule 500ppm (Soil drenching)),T3 (NPK (RDF) 15:5:20 + Biocapsule 500ppm (Soil drenching)),T4 (NPK (RDF) + Foliar application of Zno (12%) and Feo (12%) Nano particles (NPs)),T5 (Biocapsule 500ppm (Soil drenching) + Foliar application of Zno (12%) and Feo(12%) Nano particles (NPs)),T6 (NPK (RDF) 15:5:20 + Biocapsule 500ppm (Soil drenching) + Foliar application of Zno (12%) and Feo (12%) Nano particles (NPs)),T7 (NPK (RDF) 15:5:20 + Biocapsule 250ppm (Soil drenching)),T8 (Biocapsule 250ppm (Soil drenching) + Foliar application of Zno (12%) and Feo (12%) Nano particles (NPs)),T9 (NPK (RDF) 15:5:20 + Biocapsule 250ppm (Soil drenching) + Foliar application of Zno (12%) and Feo (12%) Nano particles (NPs)). From our experiment it was concluded that the treatment T5 (Biocapsule 500ppm (Soil drenching) + Foliar application of ZnO (12%) and FeO (12%) Nano particles (NPs)) was found to be best in the terms of germination percentage, vegetative growth, yield parameters, quality parameters and economics with Benefit Cost ratio 2.67.
