Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand with a view to study the Influence of integrated nitrogen management on growth and yield of beet root (Beta vulgaris L.) var. Crimson Globe during rabi, year 2020-21. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications which includes 10 treatments. The results revealed that significantly maximum plant height of 16.71, 35.20 and 35.25 cm at 25, 50 DAS and at harvest, respectively observed in T3 (60 kg N/ha + 5 t/ha Vermicompost + 5 t/ha Castor cake). Similarly, the same treatment T3 was registered maximum number of leaves per plant at 25 (6.50), 50 (10.68) DAS and at harvest 14.30. The maximum fresh weight of leaves (224.45 g), dry weight of leaves (13.35 g), as well as leaf area (260.42 cm2) was also recorded with an application of 60 kg N/ha + 5 t/ha Vermicompost + 5 t/ha Castor cake. The yield attributing parameters viz. root length (16.23 cm), root diameter (7.85 cm), fresh weight of root (198.05 g), dry weight of root (18.75 g), root to shoot ratio (1.42), yield (21.91 kg/plot and 28.08 t/ha) and harvest index (55.68 %) was recorded in treatment T4 [60 kg N/ha + 12.5 t/ha FYM + 5 t/ha Vermicompost + Seed treatment of Anubhav Bio NPK consortium (5 ml/kg seed)].
