abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Organic farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur (Rajasthan) during rabi season 2021-22 and 2022-23 to study the influence of Phospho-silica Enriched Vermicompost and Aerated Compost Tea on Growth parameters of Wheat. The experiment comprised of five phospho-silica enriched vermicompost (control, RDN through vermicompost, RDN through vermicompost enriched with silica and rock phosphate 1, 2 and 3%) and five level of aerated compost tea (control, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%) thereby involving 25 treatment combination which were replicated three times in split plot design. The foliar spray of aerated compost tea was made at 45 and 70 DAS. The wheat crop fertilized with RDN through vermicompost enriched with silica and rock phosphateat 3% significantly enhanced plant height, dry matter accumulation, chlorophyll content, grain and straw yield of wheat over rest of the treatments.
