| Abstract | The present investigation entitled “Integrated nutrient management in pomegranate (pumice granatum L..) cv. Ganesh.†was conducted during two consecutive years i.e. 2005-06 and 2006-07 at Instructional Farm, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with four replications. Five-year-old plants of pomegranate cv. ‘Ganesh’ were subjected to various treatments comprised of seventeen treatment combinations consisting of inorganic fertilizers (500gN: 200gP: 500gK plant-1), organic manures (vermicompost 10kg, neem cake 5 kg and karanj cake 5kg plant-1) and biofertilizers (Azotobacter 20g & PSB 20g plant-1) were used in the present study. The treatments were applied in the month of June during both the years i.e., 2005-06 and 2006-07. The results revealed that all the treatments had significantly increased the growth, yield and quality of fruits over absolute control. Among the different treatments used in the present study, the application of vermicompost @ 10 kg + 25 per cent recommended dose of NPK + 5kg neem cake+ PSB 20 per plant significantly increased the flowering, yield attributes & yield with quality components of pomegranate. Further, this treatment also exhibited highest number of flowers (15.35/shoot), fruit retention (42.55 %), fruit weight (250.26g fruit-1), yield (36.3 kg plant-1 151.25q ha-1) and improved fruit quality in terms of TSS (14.91 %) , TSS: Acid (41.62), ascorbic acid (14.39 mg/100 g pulp), total sugar (14.24%) and organoleptic score (8.51) as well as leaf and soil nutrient status as compared to recommended dose of NPK (500g : 200g: 500g). However, higher vegetative parameters namely shoot length and diameter observed under recommended dose of fertilizer. The leaf nitrogen (2.75%), phosphorus (0.47%) and potassium (1.76%) content at harvest was significantly increased by the application of vermicompost @ 10 kg + 25 per cent recommended dose of NPK +5kg neem cake+ PSB 20 per plant. Similarly, same treatment recorded maximum net return and B : C ratio. respect to growth,yield and quality of fruit. The leaf nitrogen content at harvest was significantly increased by the application of vermicompost @ 10 kg per plant, 50 per cent recommended dose of NPK and PSB @ 20 g per plant. Whereas, leaf phosphorus content was significantly increased by FYM @ 75 kg per plant, 50 per cent recommended dose of NPK and PSB @ 20 g per plant. Similarly, available phosphorus and potassium content in soil was significantly increased by application of FYM @ 75 kg per plant, 50 per cent recommended dose of NPK and PSB @ 20 g per plant. Application of vermicompost @ 10 kg per plant, 50 per cent recommended dose of NPK and PSB @ 20 g per plant resulted maximum net return and B : C ratio. |
