Significantly maximum (39.9) energy content was recorded with T2. It was followed by T3 and T9 however T2 was found statistically at par with T3 and T9. Minimum (11.34) energy content was recorded with T1.Protein content was observed significantly maximum (2) with T4 and T9 and both were found statistically at par with T6 and T7. Minimum (1.41) protein content was observed under T2.

Highest (0.78) fat content was recorded in T9 and lowest (0.21) under T5 and T7. Highest (94.99) moisture content was observed under T1 while lowest (88.93) moisture content was observed under T3.

Significantly maximum (2.67) ash content was recorded in T1 and minimum (1.53) ash content was recorded under T9.

Significantly maximum (0.93) crude fiber content was recorded with T2 and it was statistically at par with T3 (0.87). Lowest (0.38) crude fiber content was recorded with T1. N. Saada at.al., (2009) concluded that that proximate content of fenugreek seeds is affected by the addition of the two types of organic compost. Conversely; the combination mixture of manures (Cow manure: Goat manure: Chicken manure) with Wheat husks is highly suggested as an organic compost product with a significantly better performance on the chemical characteristics of fenugreek plant.

Highest (165.65) vitamin C content was observed with T6 and it was statistically at par with T8 and T9. Lowest (62.7) vitamin C content was observed under T1. Carotenoids content significantly highest (22.43) recorded with T8. It was followed by T9 however T8 was statistically at par with T9. Lowest (7.69) carotenoids content was recorded under T1.Significantly highest (0.40) lycopene content was recorded under T1 and lowest (0.05) lycopene content was observed under T9. Chlorophyll a was significantly highest (85.60) observed under T9 and it was followed by T7 and T8 however T9 was statistically at par with T7 and T8. Lowest (12.19) chlorophyll content was observed under T1.Maximum (44.70) chlorophyll b content was observed with T9 and it was statistically at par with T1. Lowest (26.78) chlorophyll b was observed under T8. Maximum (113.82) total chlorophyll content was observed under T9 and minimum (54.14) total chlorophyll content was observed under T1.Purbajanti et.al., (2019) it was concluded that the total chlorophyll content were achieved using 10 ton/ha cow dung and 100 kg/ha NPK 16 fertiliser.Positive relationship between chlorophyll and nutrient content was observed in black gram by using coir waste and cow dung. Baranisrinivasan (2011) organic matter content correlated positively with the yield and vitamin C content of amaranth. Adekayode et.al.(2011)

IV. CONCLUSION

The Highest energy and crude fibre content of spinach were found with without fortified sweet lime waste compost 2ton/ha whereas maximum moisture and ash content of spinach were recorded with fortified sweet lime waste compost 2ton/ha. Highest protein content of spinach was found with fortified sweet lime compost 2ton/ha while highest fat content was found with fortified pineapple waste compost 4ton/ha. However sweet lime waste compost result was good in overall proximate composition of spinach accept fat content. Maximum antioxidants and highest mineral composition in spinach were recorded with fortified pineapple waste compost 2ton/ha and 4 ton/ha. Maximum results of all parameters of fenugreek and spinach were best with application of fortified pineapple waste compost.
