Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
A pot experiment was carried to study the effects of N from different inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of Indian spinach (Basella alba L.). There were six treatments comprising of control, N @ 130 kg ha-1 from urea, NH4NO3, NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4, NaNO3. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results of the study indicated that addition of nitrogen from various inorganic fertilizers significantly affected the number of leaves plant-1 , plant height, fresh and dry weight of leaves, stem and root. The maximum number of leaves plant-1 and the highest plant height at 45 and 60 days after sowing (DAS) were obtained with supplying nitrogen from urea whereas at 30 DAS these values were obtained with nitrogen from NaNO3. At all the growth stages, the lowest number of leaves plant-1 and the lowest plant height were observed with control treatment. The highest fresh and dry weight of leaves, stem and root were found with nitrogen application from urea and the lowest values of these were found with control treatment. The results suggested generally that applying nitrogen from urea was the most effective compared to other sources of nitrogen on the growth and yield characters of Indian spinach.
