Abstracts |
An investigation was carried out at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science at College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar during 16 February to 21 July, 2008 to study the individual effect of Mycorrhiza and Vermicompost as well as their interaction on plant growth characteristics of Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) during pre bearing stage. The results revealed that treatment M3 i.e. mycorrhiza @ 30 g/plant showed superior results with respect increase in plant height (42.94%), root stock girth (37.93%), scion girth (34.73%), canopy volume (41.86%), leaf area (46.73%), relative water content of leaves (69.38%) and plant spread E-W (30.32%) and N-S (25.91%) over control and lower doses and also an application of 6 kg Vermicompost per plant showed significantly better result with respect to most of the vegetative growth parameters as compared to their lower doses and control. Amongst various treatment combinations used, treatment M3V3 (mycorrhiza @ 30 g/plant+Vermicompost 6 kg/plant) showed significantly superior over most of the treatment combinations including control in plant growth and development characters like root stock girth, scion girth, plant height, plant spread (E-W and N-S), canopy volume and relative water content of leaves. |
