ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil health and productivity of pomegranate cv Kandhari Kabuli” were conducted in the experimental orchard of Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, during the year 2009 and 2010. The study was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice. Therefore in the present investigation the pomegranate trees were treated with different treatment combination of vermicompost; FYM; biofertilizers; green manure and inorganic fertilizers at 20kg tree-1, 20 kg tree-1, 80 g/tree and 50, 75 and 100 % RDF. Among the different treatment combination VC20 + B80 + FYM20+ GM + NPK75 (T10) i.e. vermicompost (20 kg tree-1) + FYM (20 kg tree-1) + Biofertilizer ( 80 g tree-1) + Green manure (Crotalaria juncea L.) and 75 % of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers during the year 2009 and 2010 was found to be most effective in producing better yield and quality. However, increased physico-chemical and biological properties (organic carbon, water holding capacity, porosity, particle density, available soil nutrient status, leaf nutrient status, Azotobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., Soil fungi., Actinomycetes sp and AM spore population) of the soil was observed with treatment VC20 + B80 + FYM20+ GM + RDF (T20), but were found to be statistically at par with treatment combination VC20 + B80 + FYM20+ GM + NPK75 (T10) during both the years of study. |
