Effect of Humanure, Pit Toilet Sludge and Sewage Sludge on Yield and Soil Propertiesof Tomato (Lycopersican esculenturri)

摘要

A field experiment was conducted in the farmer's field at Nayanahalli village, Chintamani taluk, Chickaballapur district during 2014 to study the effect of humanure, pit toilet sludge and sewage sludge application on yield and soil properties of tomato crop. The results revealed that the average ten fruit weight (1311.12 g), average number of fruits per plant (40.99) fruit yield (53.12 t ha~(-1)) and haulm yield (9.64 t ha~(-1)) were significantly higher in the treatment of 150 per cent P through pittoilet sludge + balance N and K through fertilizers to supply 150 per cent N and K. The increase in yield was to the tune of 4.34 percent, 6.41 and 19.13 per cent over RDF (100 % NPK + FYM), RDF alone and FYM alone treatments, respectively. The averageten fruit weight (919.10 grams), no of fruits per plant (33.56) and fruit yield (38.061 ha~(-1)) were lower in absolute control. Soil pli, EC, organic carbon content and available major nutrients content of soil recorded higher in the treatments T., T and T(), respectively.
