@article{Venkatakrishnan, title={UTILIZATION OF CONVENTIONAL AND NON-CONVENTIONAL ORGANIC SOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL BY-PRODUCTS FOR YIELD MAXIMIZATION OF BRINJAL IN COASTAL SOIL}, volume={4}, url={https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/hbr/article/view/3479}, DOI={10.25081/hbr.2018.v4.3479}, abstractNote={<p>This study was conducted to evaluate the response of brinjal (<em>Solanum melongena </em>L.) with conventional, non-conventional organic source, industrial by-products combined with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments imposed were T<sub>1</sub> – Control (100% RDF), T<sub>2</sub>-100% RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost <br> @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>3</sub> – 100% RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost @ 10 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>­4</sub> – 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>5</sub> – 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, <br> T<sub>6</sub> – 100% RDF + Rice Husk Ash @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>7</sub> – 100% RDF + Rice Husk Ash @ <br> 10 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>8</sub> – 100% RDF + Lignite Fly Ash @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, T<sub>9</sub> – 100% RDF + Lignite Fly Ash @ 10 t ha<sup>-1</sup>. There were nine treatments combinations replicated thrice in CRD. The soil was sandy in texture with available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of 257, 10.2 and 117 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> respectively which fell in fertility status of low. The soil classified taxonomically as <em>Typic Udisamments. </em>The results showed that application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup> (T<sub>5</sub>) significantly increased yield attributes <em>viz., </em>fruit length (16.6 cm), fruit girth (15.2 cm), no. of fruits plant<sup>-1</sup> (20.67), fruit weight (45.2 g) and fruit yield plant<sup>-1</sup> (934.2 g plant<sup>-1</sup>). This treatment registered maximum quality attributes like ascorbic acid content (4.5 mg 100 g<sup>-1</sup>), crude protein (4.81%), drymatter of fruit (70.2 g plant<sup>-1</sup>) and dry matter of plant (81.3 g plant<sup>-1</sup>). The post harvest soil available N (148mgkg-1) and P (7.15mgkg-1)status was higher due to application of 100% RDF with Vermicompst @ 5 t ha<sup>-1</sup> (T<sub>5</sub>).  The post harvest available K (75.58mgkg-1) status recorded higher in the treatment T<sub>9</sub> which received 100% RDF with Lignite Fly Ash @ 10 t ha<sup>-1</sup> (T<sub>9</sub>).</p>}, journal={Horticultural Biotechnology Research}, author={Venkatakrishnan, D.}, pages={16–18} }
