Abstract

A study on the effects of Saathi organic fertilizer on the nutrient status, growth and yield of wheat and cauliflower was conducted to assess the potential of this fertilizer in replacing the chemical fertilizer for wheat and cauliflower production. Both field trail was laid out in Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications in Belachapi dhanusha .Results revealed that application of saathi organic fertilizer  influence the thousand grain yield significantly and the highest thousand grain weight (49.2) was obtained from FYM (10 t/ha). Highest grain yield was obtained from the sathi 500 kg/ha while combined with ½ RDF. Soil organic matter and nitrogen were slightly increased with the application of Saathi organic fertilizer. In Cauliflower, Crop parameters like plant spread, curd spread, curd depth, plant height and leaf numbers of cauliflower were significantly influenced by the application of saathi organic manure. Curd yield and curd biomass was found highest from RDF followed by saathi + RDF. There is no significant influence on soil parameters like soil pH, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content after harvest of cauliflower but there found the improvement in soil pH, slight increment in soil organic matter and nitrogen, sharp increment in soil potassium and lower response to soil phosphorous content.
