dc.description.abstract |
An experiment was conducted to
investigate the influence of different growth promoting
substances on growth and yield of bitter gourd.
Experiment was laid out in a randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with four replications. Different
foliar sprays viz. T1- Effective Microorganism (EM),
T2- Cow urine, T3- Commercial growth promoting
substance (Boom flower) and T4- Water (control) were
tested. Highest values for average vine length (175.4
cm) and vine weight (40.9 g) were recorded in T3 and
lowest male: female flower ratio (7:1) was obtained in
T1. Maximum fruit length (29.9 cm) and fruit weight
(158.1 g) were recorded in T1. The results revealed that
application of EM is one of the ways to increase the
yield of bitter gourd. |
