ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different sources of manures on yield and quality of cashew cv. Vengurla-4 under South Konkan region of Maharashtra under AICRP-Cashew programme during 2015-16 at RFRS, Vegurle-416 516, Dist. Sindhudurg (MS). The trial was laid out in Randomized block design with three replications and eight treatments. Cashew grafts (V-4) planted at 7m x 7m during 2008 under organic management was used for experimentation. Treatments comprises of different source of manures were applied in the month of June. Similarly uniform package of practices were simultaneously followed. Yield and quality attributes recorded at appropriate stages and data were statically analyzed. Application of 100% N as Vermicompost + BCF gave maximum yield (6.92 kg/tree) followed by RDF + 10kg FYM (6.53 kg/tree), green leaf manuring + planting cowpea (6.30 kg/tree) and 100% N as FYM + BCF (6.17kg/tree). The highest flowering panicles/m2 (25.60/m2), apple juice percentage (74.0%), maximum acidity (0.25%) and bold nut (9.27 g) with minimum kernel count per pound (185.3/Ib) was observed when organic residue was recycled with addition of 20% cow dung slurry. The maximum apple weight (117.0 g) was noted with application of RDF + 10kg FYM. Higher shelling (31.16 %) was obtained with 50% N as FYM, + BCF + Rock phosphate followed by application of 100% N as Vermicompost + BCF (30.83%).
