Studies on organic and in-organics manures on growth and yield of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria L.)

The present investigation was carried Crop Cafeteria of School of Agriculture Science, Vikrant University,Gwalior, from the first week of January 2025 till April 2025. The experiments were laid out in the Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and five treatments to research the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on bottle gourd development and yield. The maximum vine length (7.27), number of branches (5.10), number of leaves (250.03), days to first flower (90.90), number of fruits per vine (11.09), fruit length (30.23), fruit girth (18.01) and total yield per plant (25.90). Therefore, combining organic and inorganic fertilizers considerably boosts bottle gourd growth and yield was found to be enhanced by the use of nutrients in combination with both organic and inorganic fertilizers. The results showed that applying this combination to Bottle Gourd had increased the growth and yield under a combination of inorganic fertilizers. Therefore, it may be recommended for the Grower of Bottle Gourd under the open field condition.
