Abstract
Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook. f. & Thoms., commonly known as Giloy, belonging to the family Menispermaceae and is an important medicinal plant. The plants of Tinospora cordifolia were planted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatments and 3 replications in a plot size of 2 m x 2 m at a spacing level of 100 cm x 100 cm. The experiment was conducted at the Botanical Garden, PG Department of Botany, Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag (Jharkhand). The plant is used in Ayurvedic “Rasayanas” to improve the immune system and the body’s resistance against infections. Four seedlings were transplanted into each plot for each treatment. The useful part of this plant is the stem and the effectiveness of its medicinal value depends upon its thickness. The objective of this research work to find out the impact of organic fertilizer on the morphological characteristics (including stem thickness) of the Giloy plant. Maximum stem diameter (20.67 mm) was recorded from the application of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) 10 t ha-1 . Hence, it can be concluded that Farm Yard Manure (FYM) was best for the commercial cultivation of the Giloy plant.
