EVALUATING SIGNIFICANCE OF VERMICOMPOST AND INTERCROPPING AMORPHOPHALLUS FOR INTEGRATED INDIAN GOOSE BERRY ORCHARD MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 39
Abstract
Integrated management of the orchard through intercropping vegetable crops and application of vermicompost or/and mustard cake is an effective approach to achieve high economic yield. This investigation was carried out to determine a suitable combination of inorganic fertilizers and vermicompost or/and mustard cake for intercropping Elephant Foot Yam (Suran) in Indian Goose Berry (Aonla) orchard. Greater reduction of soil pH (from 8.02 to 7.12) and maximum increase in organic matter (0.62% to 0.71%) was observed with T9. T8 (Aonla + Suran + 25% N2 from Mustard cake + 25% N2 from Vermicompost + 50% N2 from Urea), T9 (Aonla + Suran + 100% N2 from Vermicompost) and T10 (Aonla + Suran + 100% N2 from Mustard cake) were reported to be equally effective in improving available Nitrogen (197.86, 197.91 and 197.71 Kg/ha, respectively), available Phosphorus (25.58, 25.63 and 25.22 Kg/ha, respectively) and available Potassium (291.35, 292.45 and 290.41 kg/ha, respectively) in soil after 2 years of intercropping. However, significantly highest yield (62.31 q/ha) was reported in T8 which was at par with other integrated treatments.
