Key Conclusions
In comparison with the existing Farmer practices, the ICL practice, via the usage of Polysulphate fertilizer, demonstrated an overall increase of 23% in the yield of the Bottle gourd crop and the average vegetative growth and weight of the crop as well. This translates to additional returns per hectare and also the marginal cost benefit ratio for Bottle gourd crops in Indian conditions.
Objective

Results
The average height of the Bottle gourd under Polysulphate treated was more, than without it. Also, the average weight per gourd also increased by 40% under Polysulphate than without it. The average yield under treatment T1 (with Polysulphate) was 16 t/acre while under treatment T2 (without Polysulphate) it was 13 t/acre. The Marginal Cost Benefit Ratio was recorded at 3.6
