Morphological Response of White Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Hybrid Snow Ball (White) to Jeevamrit and Organic Manures in Bundelkhand Region

Abstract

The present experiment was design and optimized under Randomized block design with three replication Rabi Season(2022-2023) brinjal variety Hybrid snowball(white) Cropping Season: Rabi Season (2022-2023). Brinjal variety Hybrid Snow Ball (White) was designed under Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) with three replication and 8 treatments of Spacing (Row × Plant): 60 cm × 45 cm with Net Plot Size (Length × Width): 2.7 meters × 3.0 meters, Irrigation Channel Size: 50 cm,Bund Size:30 cm withtotal Net Area of Experimental Field:24.3 meters × 9 meters.This study evaluated the impact of different organic treatments on plant growth over a period of 90 days after transplantation Days After Transplantation (DAT)). At 30 Days After Transplantation (DAT), the average plant height was 13.50 cm, with the highest observed in T7 (33% FYM + 33% Vermicompost + 33% Poultry manure + Jeevamrit) at 15.43 cm, Stem diameter followed a similar trend, with T7 showing the maximum diameter across the treatments. The combination of 33% FYM, 33% Vermicompost, 33% Poultry manure, and Jeevamrit (T7) consistently outperformed the control (T0) and other treatments throughout the study period. T7 showed the highest values for plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, branches, clusters, and flowers at 30, 60, and 90 Days After Transplantation (DAT), indicating superior growth and development. Additionally, T7 also resulted in the longest fruit stalks, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing both vegetative and reproductive traits. In contrast, the control treatment (T0) exhibited the lowest performance across most parameters, underscoring the importance of nutrient-rich organic treatments in promoting optimal plant growth.
