Effects of Farm Manure and Bio-Fertilizer on Growth, Tuber Yield and Inulin Content in Jerusalem Artichoke under Organic Farming System
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aimed to compare the effects of farm manure, bio-fertilizer, and the combination of farm manure + bio-fertilizer on the growth and yield of Jerusalem artichoke in organic farming system. Nine fertilizer treatments were applied including 1) no fertilizer, 2) cattle manure, 3) goat manure, 4) photosynthetic bacteria, 5) bio-extract, 6) cattle manure + photosynthetic bacteria, 7) cattle manure + bio-extract, 8) goat manure + photosynthetic bacteria, and 9) goat manure + bio-extract to Jerusalem artichoke cultivar HEL 65, arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications in field conditions. Cattle manure, goat manure, goat manure + photosynthetic bacteria, and goat manure + bio-extract promoted earlier occurrence of first flowering and 50% faster flowering compared to other fertilizer treatments. Almost all fertilizer treatments did not significantly affect plant height, fresh shoot weight, and harvest index compared to the control treatment. Goat manure, cattle manure + photosynthetic bacteria, goat manure + photosynthetic bacteria and goat manure + bio-extract resulted in high fresh tuber weight. The different fertilizer treatments significantly affected the number of tubers in Jerusalem artichoke (P=0.01), but did not affect tuber width or tuber length. Cattle manure, cattle manure + photosynthetic bacteria, cattle manure + bio-extract, and goat manure + bio-extract resulted in high total soluble solids. The goat manure + photosynthetic bacteria treatment caused a significant rise in inulin content compared to the control (P=0.05).
