An investigation was carried in experimental field of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS (October 2021- March 2022). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 19 treatments and each treatment replicated 3 times. The study revealed that maximum plant height (18.16 cm), number of leaves (15), maximum plant spread in N-S (21.11 cm ) and E-W (20.11 cm), minimum days taken to first flowering (36 days), maximum number of flowers/plant (20), minimum number of days to fruit setting (5.88), maximum total number of fruits/plant (16), berry length (42.27 mm), berry width (37.11 mm), berry weight (25.32 g), maximum yield/plant (371.95 g), maximum yield (q/ha) (165.31 g), lowest acidity (0.80%), highest vitamin-c (55 mg/100 g) and maximum benefit cost ratio (4.15) were observed under T17 (Vermicompost + Plastic mulch). Therefore, T17 (Vermicompost + Plastic mulch) showed best result as compared to other treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
