The present investigation was carried out at Dr. . Ambedkar University of Social Sciences, Mhow, Madhya Pradesh to find out the effects of city compost on growth and yield of spinach during 2018-19. Spinach cv. All Green was used for the experiment with of different doses (5, 10, 15 and 20 t/ha) of city compost along with recommended dose of NPK fertilizers (100:60:60 kg NPK/ha). Maximum growth parameters (germination percentage, plant height, leaf length, leaf width and petiole length) were recorded with city compost @ 10 t/ha + 50% of RDF (T4) followed by city compost @ 15 t/ha + 25% of RDF (T5). Whereas, the maximum average number of leave per plant and yield were recorded under city compost @ 10 t/ha + 50 % of RDF followed by city compost @ 15 t/ha + 25 % of RDF. This treatment has also registered the superior from economic point of view. Furthermore, the minimum values of growth and yield were recorded under control. | Influence of selective combination of city compost and NPK fertilization on growth and yield of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
