Description 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.
