| Abstract/Description: | A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of magnesium, boron and zinc along with recommended doses of NPK and organic manure on growth, yield and quality of sweet potato. The treatments consist of T1 : Recommended dose of FYM and NPK, T2 : Recommended dose of FYM and NPK + soil application of MgSO4 @ 20kg/ha, T3 : Recommended dose of FYM and NPK + soil application of Borax @ 15kg/ha, T4 : Recommended dose of FYM, NKP + Dipping of cutting for 15 minutes in 2% Znso4.7H2O, T5 : Recommended dose of FYM, NPK + Mg + B + Zn treatments, T6 : (control). Result revealed that highest vine length (393.03 cm), no of branches (9.0), leaf length (8.57 cm) and leaf width (9.07 cm) were recorded in T3 which was however statistically at par with T5. Tuber size (length: 14.12 cm and girth: 4.98 cm) and tuber yield (25.78 t/ha) was found highest in T5 which was statistically at par with T3. Similarly, highest dry matter (26.24 %), total sugars (3.72%) and starch content (20.49 %) was recorded in T5. From the experiment, it appeared that application of magnesium, boron and zinc along with recommended doses of NPK and organic manure can be used to improve growth, yield and quality of sweet potato. |
