ABSTRACT
A field investigation was conducted during the year 2005 to 2008 (total five cuttings) to study the effect integrated nutrient management on nutrient content and uptake by palmarosa. Application of 15 t FYM/ha/year resulted significant higher plant N and P content during both the years, while Fe and Zn content in first year. Similarly, application of 150 kg N/ha/year and 90 kg P2O5/ha/year also improved their respective content. Significantly higher amount of N, P, K, S, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu uptake in both the years was recorded with individual application of 15 t FYM/ha/year and 150 kg N/ha/year. Significantly higher uptake of P during both the years, while lower uptake of Zn during first year was registered with the application of 90 kg P2O5 /ha/year.
Key words :
FYM, integrated nutrient management, nitrogen, palmarosa, phosphorus, potassium, uptake.
