Author(s): Wankhade SD and Kale VS
Abstract: The present experiment was conducted at Main Garden Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola in the year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The result revealed the total loss of stored bulbs increased steadily as the period of storage extended. The treatment consisting of 50% RDN through FYM (q ha-1) + 50% RDN through Vermicompost (q ha-1) + Azatobactor (kg ha-1) + PSB (kg ha-1) registered the lowest total loss, Rotting and physiological loss in weight at 120 days of storage during both years of experiment under study. Whereas, the lowest sprouting was recorded under the treatment consisting of 50% RDN through FYM (q ha-1) + 50% RDN through Neem cake (q ha-1) + Azatobactor (kg ha-1) + PSB (kg ha-1). The inorganic treatment consisting of 100 per cent recommended dose of NPK fertilizer significantly varied from organic treatment and recorded maximum storage loss.
