The urge to obtain increased production and higher returns have lead to
indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers in papaya production that has resulted in
depletion of soil fertility. It has therefore become imperative to adopt of organic
farming practices for sustainable production of quality fruits. In the present
investigation, effect of organic manures on growth, yield and quality of Coorg Honey
Dew papaya was evaluated through seven treatments with three replications during
2004-2007. The treatments consisted of T1 - check (intensive farming with 250:250:
500 g NPK/plant/year in six split doses), T2 - organic farming with FYM 20 kg/plant,
T3 - urban compost 13.5 kg/plant, T4 - sun hemp 25 kg/plant, T5 - sun hemp 40 kg
/plant + rock phosphate 300 g/plant and T6 - neem cake 4 kg + wood ash 2.5
kg/plant, T7 - rural compost 35 kg/plant. The organic treatments were imposed in
two splits with interval of once in six months. The treatment, intensive farming with
250:250:500 g NPK/plant/year recorded maximum plant height, stem girth, number
of leaves, yield/tree, number of fruits per tree, fruit weight, pulp thickness and
number of seeds which were significantly superior to all other treatments. The
results indicated that growth and yield characters as influenced by organic manures
were on par with the intensive farming of chemical fertilizers. Further, application
of FYM 20 kg/plant recorded maximum total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, total
sugar and the least value of titrable acidity as compared to intensive farming and
other organic treatments. Significant influence of different organic manure
treatments on growth and yield characters was observed and it can be inferred that
application of organic manures influenced growth, yield and quality characters in
Coorg Honey Dew papaya.
