The FYM 150 q/ha was found to the best dose for maximum rhizome yield/plant, rhizome diameter, fresh herbage yield/plant, herbage yield/plot, plant height and plant spread. Therefore, above said FYM dose which is beneficial for the rhizome yield through high herbage production for application in Karchoor in rain fed sub temperate hills conditions of UttaraKhand.
