| Abstract/Description: | 2019Horticultural crops contribute to national income with almost 1/5th of the total income from agricultural producecoming from it. It is widely recognised that the horticultural crops can play a vital role in overcoming problems ofmalnutrition, generating greater employment potential in rural areas and achieving nutritional security. These cropshave a tremendous potential for fertilizer use. These are heavy feeders of plant nutrients and quite a number of these crops may absorb 500-1000 kg of N + P2O5+K2O ha-1 yr-1 or even more under good management conditions.Nutrient uptake by many fruits and vegetable crops is equal to or higher than that by cereal crops. To replenish the removal and to supply sufficient amount of nutrients at each stage of crop growth, application of adequate rates of fertilizers are a must in horticultural crops. This paper covers overview of production trends in India and the nutrient removal by horticultural crops, fertilizer recommendations for these crops, estimation of fertilizer requirement of different horticulture sectors, and finally promotion of fertilizer use in horticultural crops. |
