Abstract
The present investigation was done to find out the cultivation and growth response of Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc. to different soil composition and organic farming systems. The results showed significant increase in mean length of cotyledon, 1st pair leaf, 2nd pair leaf, shoot and root in soil with 6.6, 11.83, 16.96, 18.66 and 6.26 cm in comparison to soil with recommended dose of Nitrogen and Phosphorus, soil with cow dung (1:1) and soil with vermi compost in 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1 ratio respectively. Maximum mean leaf area of 8cm2 was found in soil treated with cow dung compost in comparison to growth in other treated soil. Leaf area was found to be minimum of 6.08cm2 in soil where as the leaf length was maximum in crops grown in soil. The results revealed that the prevalent soil composition of the tested area has significant amount of optimum nutritional contents needed for the growth of M. uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.
