Abstract:

An investigation was carried out at Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Research Station Rajendranagar, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Mulugu (V & M), Siddipet Dist., Telangana State during the period of 2017-20 to determine the Improvement in the growth and yield of kalmegh influenced by pruning and nutrition levels. The study was conducted with the different levels of pruning i.e, P1- 0 Pruning, P2- Pruning once at 6 weeks after sowing, P3- Pruning twice at 6 and 8 weeks after sowing and different sources of Nutrition i.e, N1- 75:75:50 NPK ha-1 + FYM 10 t/ha, N2 - 100:75:50 NPK ha-1 + FYM 5 t/ha, N3 - 100:75:50 NPK ha-1 + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha. The parameters in terms of fresh herbage yield, seed yield were significantly differed with respect to the different pruning and nutrition sources. The maximum plant height (56.56cm), no. of branches (23.12), fresh herbage yield (65.42 q/ha), dry herbage yield (23.62 q/ha) and seed yield (1.98 q/ha) were found in P3N3 while the minimum plant height, no. of branches, fresh herbage yield, dry herbage yield and seed yield were found in P1N1.


Keywords: Kalmegh, pruning, herbage yield, nutrition levels, seed yield
