The adverse impact of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture is insight with deterioration of soil quality, food and so on due to which acidification and depletion of the soil causes problem in production systems. Chhotanagpur plateau is well-known for its quality vegetable production but because of indiscriminate uses of agro-chemicals in different crops causes deterioration of quality. The present investigation has piloted with the objective of helping the farming communities through low cost involving organic package of practices and its need for modern era in producing comparatively safer food. The experiment was designed after split plot technique by adopting four treatments, viz., T1: Enriched Sanjeevani (3%); T2: BD-501 (1%); T3: Sanjeevani (10%); and T4: Absolute Control, and seven varieties, namely V1: HABR-21, V2: Swarna Abhilamb, V3: Swarna Shree, V4: Swarna Shobha, V5: Swarna Pratibha, V6: Swarna Mani, and V7: Swarna Shyamli with their three replications for each treatment. Crop varieties were grown and different growth, yield and quality attributes were studied and duly recorded from time to time. The results were found to be significant for most of the studied parameters. The maximum values on plant height (75.00 cm) as noted in T1 [Enriched Sanjeevani (3%)], earliness in flowering (55.86 days) in T2[BD-501 (1%)], fruits plant-1 (5.61) in T1followed by T3 (5.58), TSS (3.950Brix) in T1, ascorbic acid (32.64 mg 100 g-1) in T3, and reducing sugar (4.79%) in T3 were recorded. As a consequence, the highest yield (61.90 ± 2.44 t ha-1) estimated in T3 but in case of vaiety, highest yield (55.58 ± 2.32 t ha-1) recorded in V7(Swarna Shyamli). Interaction effect revealed T3V2 as the best combination with the highest yield (72.76 ± 4.65 t ha-1). Economics study further revealed thatSanjeevani 10% (T3)is the most profitable when combined with V2 (Swarna Abhilamb) with the highest benefit: cost ratio (3.77).The findings of the present investigation proposescomparatively safer brinjal production though itscultivation by using low cost organic liquid manure ‘Sanjeevani’ in the south Chhotanagpur plateau of the eastern India.
