Abstract

Among differentorganic amendments, the neem cake recorded the lowest incidence of foot rot than other organic amendments. But the leaf yield was high in FYM treated plots. The farmer's practice i.e. application of urea recorded highest incidence of the disease and poor leaf yields. The B: Cratios indicated that the neem cake and FYM were better organic amendments for betel vinecrop with higher B: C ratios than others.
