| Summary, etc. | An investigation entitled 'Organic nutrient scheduling in soil less vegetable cultivation' has been carried out at College of Agriculture, Vellayani during October 2012- June 2013. The main objectives of the study were to standardize soil less media and nutrient schedule for vegetable production (grown in containers) .and to work out the economics of different treatments. The clop selected for the study was bhindi var- Varsha Uphar and the study comprised of two pot culture experiments. First experiment was to standardize growth media for soil less culture. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and three replications. Treatments consists of seven media: - coir pith + FYM (1: 1), coir pith + FYM (1 :2), coir pith compost + FYM (1: 1), coir pith compost + FYM (2: 1), coir pith compost alone, compressed coir pith (neo peat) and potting mixture (1: 1: 1 soil, sand and FYM).The best media from this study was selected for Part II study. The results of the study showed that different growth media had significant influence on growth and yield characters of bhindi. Coir pith compost + FYM (2: 1) recorded maximum yield and B:C ratio. The effect of this media was on par with potting mixture. Hence Coir pith compost + FYM (2: 1) was selected for the part II study. Second experiment was to standardize nutrient schedule for soil less bhindi .The design was Completely Randomized Block Design with six treatment combinations and four replications. Treatments comprised of three nutrient levels - package of practices recommendations , (POP) as organic, 75 % of POP as organic and 125 % of POP as organic and two methods of application for top dressing- direct application to growth media and foliar application. 125 % of POP as organic recorded significantly higher plant height, number of leaves, LAI, flowers/ plant, root characters, water use efficiency, nutrient uptake and yield (283.412 g /pot). Direct application to growth media was better than foliar application in terms of fruit length, fruit yield, root length and WUE. Direct application of 100 % of POP as organic in the growth media is the most economic treatment (B: C ratio-3.12). |
