Abstract
The field experiment was conducted at RVS Padmavathy College of Horticulture, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, in 2019. The Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) was used to plan the investigation and consists of two factors viz., factor I - soil application (S1 – farmyard manure at 25.0tonnes/hectare, S2 – vermicompost at 2.50 tonnes/hectare, S3 – VAM at 25.0kilogram/hectare and S4 – phosphobacteria at 2.0kilogram/ hectare) and factor II – (F1 – humic acid at 0.3 percentage and F2 – panchakavuya at 3 percent) constituting eight treatments. The interactions between soil and bio-stimulant application greatly influenced plant height, secondary branches, leaf length, leaf width, and stem girth. Among the treatments, S2F1 (vermicompost at 2.50 tonnes/hectare + humic acid at 0.3 per cent) observed the highest plant height (26.14cm and 40.67cm at 60 and 120 DAS, respectively), number of secondary branches (4.95), leaf length (7.50cm), leaf width (4.50cm) and stem girth (1.45cm).
