Abstract

Effect of different levels of organic manure combination and irrigation on nutrient uptake and quality of bhindi were studied. The crude protein content was significantly higher in plots applied with the highest level of organic manure combination and was on par with the inorganic fertilizer. The lowest value of crude fibre content was recorded by the highest dose of organic nutrient combination (17.00 t FYM + 2.83 t vermicompost + 1.47 t glyricidia leaves)
