Abstract : Field experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Research farm Nidharia of Sree Murali Manohar Town Post Graduate College district, Balliah, during 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 to evaluate the effect of different organic manures viz., FYM , green leaf manure, vermicompost and poultry manure. The treatments were applied at the time of field preparation as T1 – 100% NPK as RDF (40:60:40 Kg ha-1),T2 – 50% NPK+ 5t FYM/ ha-1,T3 – GLM (Green leaf manuring) 10t / ha-1.+10t FYM,T4 – 100% N through vermi compost ha-1 and T5 – 100% N through poultry manure ha-1. All the treatments increased the herbage yield, maximum herbage (lemon grass) yield under T5. Content in plants and their uptake in lemon grass were highest under T5 followed by T4, T1, T2, and T3 indicating thereby superiority of T5 over all the treatments. Thus the effect of farmyard manure, green leaf manure, vermi compost, poultry manure and NPK alone or in combination with very useful in enhancing the status of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S of crops.
Keywords : FYM , Green leaf manure, Vermicompost and Poultry manure
