Abstract:
Vegetables are important for human health but, day by day it is becoming extremely harmful and
unsafe for our health due to the rapid use of high concentrations of pesticides and chemical
fertilizers in vegetable production. To meet our vegetable demand by maintaining safety we need
to produce vegetables organically on a commercial basis with a higher yield. Clybio is an organic
biofertilizer that can improve crop yield, quality, and taste of vegetables. Seed priming is another
mechanism of increase the germination rate and regulates growth. In this experiment, seed
priming and Clybio were applied to increase crop growth and yield. A significant result was
found from treatment 2, by the application of Clybio at 4 ml/L. Treatment 2 performed better in
all aspects of growing parameters such as germination percentage, plant height, number of leaves
per plant, leaf diameter, chlorophyll percentage, root length, and leaf fresh weight, while the
control treatment performed lowest in all perimeters. The highest yield of spinach (14.33 t/ha)
obtained from treatment 2, followed by treatment 1 (8.87 t/ha). The result suggests that the
application of Clybio at 4 ml/L increases spinach growth and yield significantly. |
