ABSTRACT
Background: C. asiatica L is a perennial flowering herb from theApiaceae family having high demand in Ayurvedaand traditional medicine used to treat a variety of health conditions. This study evaluates the effects of bio formulations like Kunap Jalamentioned inVrukshayurvedaand Vermiwash, on growth and yield characteristics of C. asiatica L. grown by conventional field cultivation method against hydroponic system. Materials and Methods:Study consisted of two groups of Centella asiaticaL.-Field cultivation and Hydroponic cultivation. Based on intervention each group again has two subgroups-Kunap Jalaand Vermi wash, with 40 samples in each group. Standard package of practice was followed for field cultivation. For Hydroponic group, Nutrient Film Technique system was established with nutrient media. pH maintained at neutral and Total Dissolved Solvents maintained between 1000-1200 ppm. Results: Analysis of Bio formulations of Centella asiatica showed higher nutrients in Kunap Jalain comparison to Vermi wash. In comparison with field group and hydroponics group, field group had better yield; more specifically treatment with Kunapajala showed improved result than Vermi wash Conclusion:Both Kunap Jala groups on field and hydroponic method yielded better results than Vermi wash group, which may be due to higher nutrient percentage ofKunap Jala.Field system showed better results than Hydroponic system.
