Effect of Integrated Supply of different fertilizers and compost on Total Yield of Andrographis paniculata at Harvesting Stage

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to study the effects of Bio fertilizers, Chemical Fertilizers and Vermicompost and their combination on the Productivity of Andrographis paniculata. The experiment  was  conducted  in a  randomized block design (RBD) with 8 treatments i.e. T₁-NT, T₂- VC, T₃-BF, T₄-CF, T₅-BF+VC, T₆-BF+CF, T₇ - CF +  VC, T₈ - BF+CF+VC. The experimental results revealed that maximum fresh and dried weight of root, shoot and leaves individually as well as total weight of all the parts and maximum seed yield was obtained in T₈ treatments followed by T₅ plot treatment. Thus it can be concluded that integrated combination of organic manures along with BF and CF results into improved plant productivity and seed yield.
