Abstract

The experiment was conducted on bitter gourds at the department of horticulture in Shuats, Uttar Pradesh. To find out the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, fruit yield, and quality of bitter gourd with three different varieties: TMBI 1309, TMBI 3346, and VNR 22. Experimental factors included N:P:K(RDF) alone and with the combination of six various treatments, including V1, V2, and V3, i.e., V1+fym (18 t/ha), V1+vermicompost (1.23 t/ha), V1+poultry manure (12.5 t/ha), V1+NPK(100%)+FYM, V1+NPK+VC, and V1+NPK+PM. same as applied for the other two varieties. It revealed that variety V2 (TMBI 3346) was recorded as significantly taller plants (201.71) and also recorded in T7 NPK + PM (210.30 cm), with the earliest 50% male flower initiation (57.52), and hybrid v2 with days to germination (65.09) in T7 (69.87 cm). IT also revealed that V2 was recorded with fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), and fruit weight (kg) of 17.64, 14.40, and 72.78, respectively. Data also revealed that more fruits per plant, yield per acre, and yield per hectare were recorded in TMBI 3346. The hybrid V2 (VNR 22) (1.85) and treatment T7 (NPK (100%) + PM (12.5/ha) recorded (1.65) showed the greatest impact of varieties and treatments on TSS.
