Effect of Flyash and Vermicompost on Nutrient Status of Plant and Soil of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Flexuosus Nees)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of different levels of fly ash and vermicompost on the nutrient status of plant and soil of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus Nees.) during the year 2014-2015 at Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Boduppal, Hyderabad. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The data were recorded on NPK of soil (Kg/ha) and NPK of plant (%) for two crops. From the study, the results enunciated that soil NPK values recorded highest in T1. N has gradually decreased from T1 to T11 while K has increased from T1 to T11. Highest plant N (2.46 % and 2.07 %), P (0.38% and 0.33 %) and K (3.4 % and 3.52 %) were recorded at 90 and 180 days, respectively in T7. The treatment T7 remained on par with T6, T8, T9, T10 and T11 treatments for NPK of plant. Hence, treatment T7 (FA 6 t/ha + VC 4 t/ha) can be recommended as the best treatment for increasing plant nutrient status, which leads to better growth of the lemongrass at the same time protecting the soil health on a long term basis.
