Abstract

To investigate the impact of organic nutrient management in colocasia (Colocasia esculenta L.), a field experiment was carried out during kharif, 2021–2022, at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. In which, eight treatments and three replications were taken and the results depicted that the treatment T8 (1/3rd RDF through FYM + 1/3rd RDF through NADEP +1/3rd RDF through vermicompost) have significantly maximum values for yield characters such as corm weight (109.33 g), cornel weight (21.86 g), corm yield plant-1 (0.109 kg), cormel yield plant-1(0.374 kg), total yield (17.89 t ha-1), however T7 (½ RDF through NADEP + ½ RDF through vermicompost) have maximum values for number of cormelplant-1 (17.34). Among various treatment combinations T8 (1/3rd RDF through FYM + 1/3rd RDF through NADEP +1/3rd RDF through vermicompost) was found maximum for net return (382073 Rs. ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.47).
