Effect of organic sources of nutrients on growth and yield of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.).

摘要

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, during June 2010 - March 2011 to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients (wellgro soil, wellgro pellets, wellgro grains and farm yard manure) and recommended dose of fertilizer (150:60:100) on growth and yield of turmeric. The results revealed that the application of 100% RDF along with 40% total weight of chemical fertilizer as wellgro soil (350 kg ha-1) recorded higher growth parameters, yield attributes and rhizome yield (26,076 kg ha-1) followed by application of 75% RDF along with 40% of total weight of chemical fertilizer as wellgro pellets (260 kg ha-1).
