Abstract
The present study was aimed at studying the effect of organic manures and the number of cuttings on the growth, yield and quality of palak. The field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season, 2021 at the experimental unit of the Department of Horticulture, Tilak Dhari PG College, Jaunpur (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with nine treatment combinations, which were replicated three times. The treatments comprised the various levels, i.e., M0 (without manure), C0 (without cutting), M1 (vermicompost), C1 (two cutting), M2 (farm yard manure), C2 (four cutting), etc. The green leaf yield of palak from different treatment combinations was studied for growth, yield and quality attributes. The result revealed that growth and yield parameters, namely: height of plants (cm), number of leaves per plant, length of leaves (cm), width of leaves (cm), length of petiole (cm), dry matter (g), moisture content (%), and leaf yield (g), were significantly influenced by the application of organic manures and the number of cuttings.
