Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture farm of Sher-eBangla
Agricultural
University,
Dhaka
from
May
2022
to
July
2022
to
find
the
effect
of
various
organic
nutrient
sources
and
shading
materials
on
the
growth
and
yield
of
coriander
leaves.
The
experiment
included
two
factors
(Shading
materials and Organic nutrient sources). There were Four
Shading materials (S
0
- Open, S
1
- Cloth shade, S
- White polythene shade
and S
3
2
– Natural shading) and Four Organic nutrient sources (G
- Control,
G
1
- Biochar 5 t/ha + vermicompost 1.75 t/ha, G
-Vermicompost 3.75 t/ha
and G
3
2
- Biochar 2.5 t/ha + vermicompost 2.63 t/ha. Three replications
were used in the randomized complete block design of the experiment. It
was found that, among all of the shading materials, shading material S
showed the highest foliage output, and shading material S
showed the
lowest foliage yield. On the other hand, the highest yield was identified at
organic nutrient sources G
, whereas the lowest foliage output was
identified at organic nutrient sources G
1
. It was observed that the
combination of Biochar 5 t/ha + vermicompost 1.75 t/ha) with cloth shade
gave better performance in respect of foliage yield among all the
combination.
