Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on organic production of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) was carried out during rabi season of year 2016-2017 at Horticulture Farm, Department of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Block Design (RBD) with three replications and ten treatments comprises 100 % RDF, FYM, vermicompost, neem cake alone and in combination with azatobacter, PSB, VAM as soil treatment. The results of present investigation indicated that, yield and yield contributing characters was increased due to different organic sources of nutrient and azatobacter, PSB, VAM. All organic sources of the nutrients influenced the growth, yield parameter of beetroot. The treatment combination of organic nutrient sources T6 i.e. vermicompost @ 9.2 tha-1 + azatobacter (10 kg ha-1) + PSB (10 kg ha-1) + VAM (40 kg ha-1) as soil treatment was found to be significantly superior for growth and yield attributes i.e. root circumference (20.83 cm), root length (8.03 cm), root diameter (6.27 cm), average root weight (158.33 g), root yield per plot (4.75 kg) and root yield per hectare (234.33 q) of beetroot, which was at par with treatment T7 i.e. neem cake @ 2.5 tha-1 + azatobacter (10 kg ha-1) + PSB (10 kg ha-1) + VAM (40 kg ha-1) as soil treatment. Considering the cost economics, the treatment T6 i.e. vermicompost @ 9.2 t ha-1 + azatobacter (10 kg ha-1) + PSB (10 kg ha-1) + VAM (40 kg ha-1)) were found to be most remunerative and profitable as per its benefit cost ratio (3.51:1) as compared to remaining treatment and absolute control (T10).
