Overview

Observational analysis shows improved sprouting in Amorphophallus with cow dung and Trichoderma, indicating effective dormancy breaking.

Key Points

  • The cow dung treatment notably enhanced sprouting percentage and reduced time to sprout initiation.
  • Treatment with cow dung led to a sprout length of 3.93 cm and a vigour index of 52839.0, outperforming other methods.
  • Trichoderma enriched FYM significantly increased root length to 24.50 cm compared to other treatments.
  • The control treatment showed the least benefits across all evaluated parameters.
