Abstract

The present investigation on effect of organic manures, Azotobacter and spacing on yield of Solanum nigrum L. was carried out. Seven different treatments with three spacings were studied to observe the impact of these treatments on yield parameters. Overall, treatment of Vermicompost + Azotobacter combination at S3 (45x45 cm) spacing gave maximum seed yield/plant, fresh above ground biomass per plant, fresh root biomass per plant, dry above ground biomass per plant, dry root biomass per plant as compared to other treatments at different spacings. Maximum value for yield parameters viz. total fresh biomass yield and total dry biomass yield/ha were recorded in treatment of Vermicompost + Azotobacter combination at with 30 x 30 cm spacing. The yield decreased with the further increase in spacing.
