Author(s): AP Garde, BM Kalalbandi and DA Mhetre
Abstract: Present investigation was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with two growing conditions, open field (G1) and polyhouse (G2) with four leafy vegetables viz., Amaranthus (V1), Beet leaf (V2), Coriander (V3) and Fenugreek (V4) comprising eight treatments replicated thrice. The high germination percentage, and the higher values of growth attributes viz., plant height, No. of branches per plant and No. of leaves per plant minimum days to potential germination (7.75) and days required for horticultural maturity (30.00) were recorded under polyhouse condition as compaired to open field conditions. Among, the leafy vegetables, amaranthus recorded higher germination percentage, and showed better performance with respect to most of the growth attributes of the plant. It has also taken less number of days (4.73) for potential germination and days required to horticultural maturity (33.00).
