The experiment was laid out with four replications and nine treatment combinations, considering three levels each of zinc (0, 25 and 50 kg ZnSO 4 ha-1) and iron (0, 25 and 50 kg FeSO 4 ha-1). The results of experiment indicated that, application of ZnSO 4 @ 50 kg ha-1 significantly increased plant height, number of leaves per plant, immature green fruit girth, immature green fruit yield, dry pod yield, stalk yield and protein content at harvest. Among different levels of iron application of 50 kg FeSO 4 ha-1 significantly increased number of leaves per plant, immature green fruit girth, immature green fruit yield, dry pod yield, stalk yield and protein content at harvest of okra.
Background: Soil test based application of plant nutrients helps to realize higher response ratio and benefit: cost ratio as the nutrients are applied in proportion to the magnitude of the deficiency of a particular nutrient and the correction of the nutrients imbalance in soil helps to harness the synergistic effects of balanced fertilizationMethods: Soil test crop response correlation studies were conducted to formulate the fertilizer adjustment equations for soybean (Var. GS-3) under integrated plant nutrition system on medium black calcareous soils during year 2016 and 2017 in kharif season following Ramamoorthy’s inductive-cum-targeted yield approach.Result: The nutrients requirement for producing one quintal of soybean was 5.65, 0.91 and 2.53 kg of N, P2O5 and K2O, respectively in presence of FYM (indicate dose). The per cent contributions from soil and fertilizer nutrients were found to be 35.03 and 74.5 for nitrogen, 55.13 and 27.6 for phosphorus and 10.36 and 51.6 per cent for potassium with FYM, Similarly, the per cent contribution of fertilizers was 65.25 for nitrogen, 22.49 for phosphorus and 43.89 for potassium without FYM. The per cent nutrient contribution of FYM was 28.27 for nitrogen, 4.97 for phosphorus and 10.48 for potassium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
