Effect of Organic Treatments on Growth Parameters of Guava (Psidium guajava L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2020-21, at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Centre of Excellence for Organic Farming, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Different combinations of organic and microbial sources of nutrients (Poultry Manure, Vermicompost, FYM, Jeevamrit, Azotobacter and PSB) replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The maximum plant height (172.67 cm), plant spread (241.71 cm), stem girth (167.33 mm) and leaf area (62.47 cm2) were recorded at last stage of growth with FYM + Poultry manure + Azotobacter + PSB application followed by plant height (170.24 cm), plant spread (237.32 cm), stem girth (165.46 mm) and leaf area (61.29 cm2) in FYM + Poultry manure + PSB and minimum under control. Therefore, on the basic of results FYM + Poultry manure + Azotobacter + PSB found best for plant growth parameters.
