Abstract

Application of neemcake (NC), vermicompost (VC), poultry manure (PM) or their combinations farm yard manure (FYM) enhanced phenol content in the leaves. Significantly highest chlorophyll (0.410, 0.640 and 2.217 mg/g) were noticed due to the application of FYM + VC at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). Application of FYM + NC, FYM + VC, and NC + VCrecorded highest total sugars. Significantly highest protein content was observed due to the application of PM and VC. However, the organic amendments had little impact on chlorophyll, total sugars and protein contents in the leaves. Overall all these organic amendments will have positive correlation with sucking pest population.
