A field experiment was conducted at the certified organic farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during rabi season of 2016-2017 to study the “Effect of organics on soil properties, growth, yield and quality of fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum-graecum L.) grown under organic farming system”. The treatment comprising three treatment of solid organics (S0: Control, S1: NADEP compost @ 5 t ha-1 and S2: Vermicompost @ t ha-1 ) and four treatment of liquid organics (L0: Control, L1: Panchagavya @ 20 L ha-1 , L2: Jeevamruta @ 200 L ha-1 and L3: Enriched banana pseudostemsap @ 5 L ha-1 ) were evaluated in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication on fenugreek variety “GM-2”. After harvest, significantly higher nutrient content (N, P, K, Mn and Zn content in seed and N, P, K, Mn, Zn and Cu content in straw) were recorded with the treatment S1 (NADEP compost @ 5 t ha-1 ) and it was at par with treatment S2 (Vermicompost @ t ha-1 ) except N content in seed. Similarly, treatment receiving NADEP compost @ 5 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher macro and micronutrient uptake by fenugreek and statistically remained at par with treatment S2 (Vermicompost @ t ha-1 ). | Effect of organics on content and uptake of nutrients by fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum l.) grown under organic farming system
