Abstract

Tomato and French bean are the main cash crops grown in mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh during summer season. In this regard, field experiments were conducted to evaluate different organic manures and biofertilisers on these vegetables during kharif season 2008. There were nine treatments viz. FYM, Vermicompost, Biofertilizers (Azotobactor, PSB and Rhizobium), FYM + Biofertlizers, Vermicompost + Biofertilizers, Organophos, Fertimine, Conventional and Untreated Control. The treatments for both the crops were same except biofertilizers, which were crop specific. The study revealed that amongst all the treatments, combined application of vermicompost and biofertilizers increased the growth and yield in both the crops in comparison to untreated control. This treatment was followed by organophos application. It was also observed that the conventional treatment registered the highest yields in both the crops; however, this was at par with the best treatment in organic plots i.e (Vermicompost+ Biofertilizers) with respect to growth and yield of tomato and french bean.
