ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi to study the impact of integrated nutrient management on chlorophyll and nutrients concentration in strawberry (Fragarria × ananassa Dutch.) leaf cv. Chandler. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. Chlorophyll (51.78 SPAD reading), nitrogen (3.55%) and phosphorus (1.57%) were found maximum in treatment 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB, whereas potassium (3.49%) and boron (46.76 ppm) contains maximum in treatment 75% NPK + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB. Calcium (2.57%), iron (25.74 ppm) and zinc (35.73 ppm) content was recorded highest in treatment 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB.
Key words :
Biofertilizers, Chlorophyll, INM, Leaf nutrient, Macro+microntrients, Organic manure, Strawberry.
