Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at horticulture farm, RRS, Agwanpur, Saharsa to find the effect of N and P₂O₅ on Pointed gourd (Parwal). Present study shows that the improvement in yield was due to increase in fruit length, fruit number and fruit length, fruit number and fruit weight under the influence of N and P₂O₅. Results shows that 50 Kg N/ha and 75 Kg N/ha was equally effective for this trait. Similarly, 30 kg P₂O₅/ha increased the fruit yield per plant in comparison with no application of P₂O₅. 15 kg P₂O₅/ha and also 30 Kg P₂O₅/ha and 45 kg P₂O₅/ha were on per for yield per plant. This showed that N and P₂O₅@ 45 kg /ha and 30 kg/ha, respectively, proved beneficial in increasing fruit yield as compared to their higher levels.
