Effect of Corm and Soil Treatments with Organic Liquid Formulations on Performance of Elephant Foot Yam in Jharkhand, India

A field experiment was carried out at the farm of Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Morabadi, Ranchi during kharif season 2022 with 10 treatments (T1: control or no treatment, T2: Corm treatment Beej Sanjeevani, T3: Beejamrit, T4: Soil application Jiwamrit, T5: Panchagavya, T6: Jiwamrit + T7: Sanjeevani soil T8: T9: Beejamrit T10: Panchagavya) placed in three times replicated randomized block design to study growth, yield and production economics elephant foot yam under uses organic corm treatments. Results revealed that resulted higher growth attributes, length (23.3 cm), dimeter (26.9 cm) (32.8 t/ha). This also recorded highest gross return (INR.2,62,400/ha), net (INR.1,69,189/ha) B:C (2.82). It increased microbial population dynamics especially total bacteria (69.7 CFU × 106/g soil).
