ABSTRACT
Plantago ovata (Forsk.) is an important cash and medicinal crop belonging to Plantaginaceae family. Isapghol is popular in traditional and modern medicinal plants due to its pharmacological properties and placed in leading medicinal crop in worldwide. Research plot was located at Bahawalpur divisions at different location under (Pakistan Agriculture Research Council PARC), Arid Zone Research Institute in two crop seasons 2022-2023. Five different germplasm were used for the study 21213, 21474, 20617, 21260 and 21988. The study was carried out to calculate the effects of chemical plant fertilizer include N and P (chemical fertilizing system), animal manure (Farmyard Manure), combination with chemical fertilizer (also known integrated fertilizer) at clay loam soil of AZRI, Bahawalpur during 2022-2023. Each germplasm contained following treatments including control (C0) chemical, in C1 (30 P+50 N), C2 (15 P+25 N), organic matter; M2 (Cow Dung 10 t/ha) M1 (Cow Dung 20 t/ha), and integrated 1N2 C1 (5 P+10 N+10 Cow dung t/ha) and 1N1 (C1 10 P+20+N+20 Cow dung t/ha) were tested. The plot design was adopted RCBD (Randomize complete block design) with single row method for sowing with three replications. SL (Spike length) is non-significant and has negative effect with DFI (-0.1856), DF (0.2161), NTPP (0.6880), DM (-0.1100) and SYPP (0.5901). SYPP (Seed yield per plant) shows negative correlation with DFI (-0.4126), DF (-0.0489), and DM (-0.3370) and positive correlation with NTPP, NSPP, SL and PH. The mean DFI values differ across treatments, with C0 having the greatest mean (95.998) and IN2 is having the lowest mean (89.66). The F-Value (11.12) illustrates the difference in DFI among treatments. Yield is variable, with the highest mean in IN1 (501.50) and the lowest in C0 (295.08). F-Value (304.13) shows significant yield differences between treatments. P-value (0.0000) indicates statistical significance. This study is dependable for improvement of fertilizer distribution patterns in Plantago ovata production techniques.
