Evaluating growth and development of Cuminum cyminum L under different fertigations

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on shoot length, root length, number of leaves, number of flowers and fruit yield at different stages of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L) plants. Research was focused on improved production of cumin with beneficial way of management of application of chemical and biofertilizers. In chemical treatments urea and ammonia fertilizers which contain high nitrogen content was used, in biofertilizers treatments, liquid biofertilizers i.e., bacterial biofertlizers prepared in laboratory and were used and powder biofertilizers were used. Root length, shoot length, numbers of buds and numbers of fruits was found maximum in biofertilizers treatments. Application of bacterial biofertilizers can fulfill the nutrient requirement of cumin under organic farming condition.
