Response of Pomegranate to Different Organic Manures under Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences (IJCMAS) - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of organics on growth behaviour and fruit yield of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. ‘Super Bhagwa’ under northern dry zone of Karnataka during hasta bahar season of 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design with seven different sources of nutrients viz., 100% RDN (Recommended dose of nitrogen) through FYM, 100% RDN through vermicompost, 100% RDN through poultry manure, 100% RDN through green manure with sun hemp, 100% RDN through sheep manure, 100% RDN through neem cake and recommended dose of fertilizer (400:200:200 N: P2O5: K2O g/plant). Results revealed that 100% RDN through vermicompost recorded significantly highest vegetative growth (number of shoots/plant, shoot length, plant height and plant canopy spread in N-S and E-W) and 100% RDN through poultry manure recorded significantly highest number of productive flowers, fruit set and yield. From the result it can be concluded that 100% RDN through vermicompost and 100% RDN through poultry manure performed best in improving the growth and yield respectively, of pomegranate cv. Super Bhagwa.
