A field experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar during Rabi season 2018-2019 to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and biofertilizers on quality attributes of seeds in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). The experiment consisted of 15 treatments in combinations of different organic fertilizers, viz. vermicompost, Rhizobium, PSB and Azospirrilium. The results revealed that among the different combinations of vermicompost and biofertilizers, application of Vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + Azospirrilium significantly increased seedling length (13.90 cm), chlorophyll content of leaves (1.60 mg), Vigour Index I (1348.30), Vigour Index II (1250), root length (6.40 cm), shoot length (7.50 cm), test weight (16.46 g) and crude protein content of seed (21.88%) as compared to control and the EC (1.02 dS m-1) was decreased with the application of vermicompost and biofertilizers in treatment T15 (V+R+A+PSB) as compared to highest in T0. Thus, the seeds obtained from the application of biofertlizer and vermicompost mix were superior in quality than use in single form for obtaining high quality seeds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
