Abstract
The present investigation was carried out on “Effect of different organic manures and PGPR consortium on quality of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria MOL. STANDL.) cv. ABG-1” at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during summer-2018. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with factorial concept (FRBD) replicated thrice with six level of organic manures application and two level of PGPR consortium of total 12 combination. The control [75:50:50 NPK kg/ha + FYM 15 t/ha (RDF)] treatment was taken separately means without combination under experimentation. The quality parameters viz., maximum TSS (3.45 0Brix), total sugar (3.38%), reducing sugar (2.63%), non-reducing sugar (0.75%) and ascorbic acid (7.96 mg/100 g pulp) were found superior with the application of M1 (100% RDN from vermicompost). PGPR consortium showed significant effect on quality parameters, treatment of P2 (With PGPR consortium 1 l/ha) recorded the maximum TSS (3.24 0Brix), total sugar (3.21%), reducing sugar (2.43%), non-reducing sugar (0.78%) and ascorbic acid (7.54 mg/100 g pulp).
