Description |
Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2013 to study the “Influence of Integrated Nutrient Management on Bitter gourd crop cv. Prachi on its growth, yield, quality, nutrient uptake and recovery. The soil of the experimental site was sandy in texture near neutral reaction, low in available N and K but high in available P. The test crop received 10 different treatment combinations of inorganic, organic and bio fertilizers viz. 50%NPK(T2), 50%NPK+VC (vermicompost)(T3), 50%NPK+ VC+BF (Biofertilizers) (T4),75%NPK (T5), 75%NPK + VC(T6),75%NPK +VC+BF(T7),100% NPK(T8),100%NPK+ VC(T9),100% NPK+ VC+BF(T10) along with absolute control(T1).The biometric observations recorded were vine length, days taken for first male and female flowering, chlorophyll content, leaf area, fruit length, girth, unit fruit weight number of fruits/plot and yield per hectare. Application of recommended dose (150:50:100:50:10:15 kg of NPK and S, Zn, Bo per hectare inorganics with VC @2.5 t ha-1 and BFs (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB @ 4kg ha-1) (T10) recorded maximum vine length(533cm),number of branches per vine, least number of days taken for male (39.6 days)flower as well as female flower anthesis (44.0 days) and female flower appeared at earliest node (24th internode).The same treatment recorded maximum number of fruits per plant(40nos),fruit length(17.6cm),girth (13.4cm), unit fruit weight(86.4g),fruit yield(4036kg ha-1), ascorbic acid(111.1mg/100g),TSS(2.0ᵒ Brix),protein content (1.76%).Significantly higher amount of N(46.7%) with recovery of 21.3%,P uptake of 9.0 kg ha-1 with recovery of 20.1 %,K uptake of (74.1 kg ha-1) with recovery of 34 percent, and uptake of 4.3kg ha-1 with a recovery of per cent were recorded with recommended dose of inorganics with vermicompost and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB @1:1:1 ratio). The results indicated for soil test based recommended dose of inorganic nutrients with correction of soil deficient’s with integrated use of organics as vermicompost and biofertilizers like Aztobacter, Azospirillum and PSB in 1:1:1 each applied @4 kg ha-1 inoculated to prelimed vermicompost in 1:25 ratio incubated for 7 days at 30% moisture is the best recommended practices for getting optimum yield with higher nutrient recovery for bitter gourd crop. |
