Abstract:

The statistical analysis (univariate analysis of variance for different morphological parameters) provides information on the nature and extent of relationship for bringing out improvement in the growth, yield and other traits. The data on correlation studies with reference to growth, yield other attributes of Coleus forskohlii, an important medicinal plant are presented in this communication. It is evident from the data that there is a significant positive correlation between growth parameters viz., plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, fresh and dry weights of shoot and roots, root length, root number and root yield besides forskolin content after combined application of NPK and FYM.

Keywords:

Statistical analysis, Farm Yard Manure, NPK, Coleus forskohlii.
