Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the impact of organic nutrient inputs on the growth and yield attributes of brinjal at the Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during the rainy seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-24. Thirteen different treatments, consisting of various combinations of organic nutrient inputs, were tested in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) used was 100 kg per hectare. The results indicated that among the thirteen treatments evaluated, the application of ½ RDN through FYM (Farm Yard Manure) combined with ½ RDN through poultry manure and supplemented with 10% Vermiwash (sprayed at 30 and 60 days after transplanting) resulted in the highest number of flowers, leaf area index, fruit weight, and yield per plot compared to the other treatments. The lowest values for these parameters were observed in the control treatment, where no manure was applied.
