ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted to development of fertilizer adjustment equations for cauliflower crop in Vertisol of Chhattisgarh plain region of Chhattisgarh State. Nutrient requirement for produce of one quintal fresh cauliflower was 0.57, 0.10 and 0.65 kg N P and K, respectively. Fertilizer and soil test efficiency were estimated 41, 25, 117 percent and 17, 36, 9 percent respectively for N P K. The efficiency of FYM in terms of available nutrient was evaluated as 6.74, 4.53 and 6.40 percent respectively. Fertilizer prescription equations and ready reckoners were derived on the basis of these parameters for different targeted yield of cauliflower with INM approach using FYM as organic component.
Key words :
Cauliflower, Fertilizer use efficiency, FYM, INM, NPK, Nutrient uptake, STCR, Vertisol, Yield attributes.
