Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc on growth and yield of ber cv. Gola under arid and semi-arid conditions.

摘要

Fruit quality and N, P and K values in leaves of Mosambi did not significantly differ among the intercrop treatments. Highest net return was calculated from Mosambi+groundnut combination (Rs. 35,820.0/ha) followed by Mosambi+okra (Rs. 22,520.0/ha) and Mosambi+cowpea (Rs. 22,420.0/ha). Highest bio-mass was obtained from cowpea (68 q/ha) followed by groundnut (54 q/ha) and black gram (35 q/ha). Nitrogen concentration in the orchard soil was improved due to growing of leguminous crops while phosphorus and potassium were depleted in all the cases.
