Effect of Organic Manures on the Growth and Yield Attributes of Spinach Beet (Beta vulgaris var bengalensis) at Low Hills of Uttarakhand

A field experiment was planned and conducted during 2020-21 at Horticulture Research Block, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, SGRR University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand to investigate the “Effect of different organic manures on the growth and yield attributes of spinach beet at lower hills of Uttarakhand”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments including various organic manures at different concentrations. Observations on various growth and yield attributes were recorded at regular intervals. Studies on vegetative and yield attributes were recorded using standard method of measurements. Among all the organic treatments, soil application with Farmyard manure (5kg) + Vermicompost (2.5kg) + foliar spray of Vermiwash (25%) was sown the significant improvement in plant height (cm), number of leaves per plants, length of leaves (cm), width of leaves (cm), petiole length (cm), root length (cm) and yield than other treatments.
