Abstract

Cassia tora L. commonly called as “Tarwad’ which belongs to the family Caesalpiniaceae. It is always seen along the roadsides, wastelands and field bands. The aerial biomass of Cassia was collected from different field sites, road sides and chopped into small pieces. Equal amount of fresh vegetation was used as green manure, for the preparation of compost, vermicompost and dry leaf manure. The leafy vegetable Trigonella foenum graceum L. was cultivated in the plot size, 1.5x1.5 m. with six treatments and four replicates. The growth analysis of the crop noted after 37 days of cultivation as total fresh weight, total dry weight, height of plant, circumference, number of leaves, leaf area, chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, reducing sugar and vitamin-C were estimated from leaves in all treatments.

The plants in the control plots were weak as compare to crop cultivated on Cassia manure treatment. The observations showed that the vermicompost had given best yield for fresh weight followed by compost and Dry leaf powder. The control vegetation gives lowest yield, followed by NPK and then green manure treatment. Cassia manuring gives better results and reduces the production cost of the crop and protects the vegetable from adverse effects of chemical fertilizers on crop as well as land.
