Abstract:
The experiment was conducted on effect of nutrients on growth and yield of ginger under bamboo-based agroforestry system at IGKV, Raipur, to study the growth and yield performance of ginger with seven various combinations of nutrients, replicated thrice in RBD design. Growth and yield attributing traits were observed in which plant height, number of leaves per tiller, rhizome length, rhizome width, number of fingers, fresh and dry weight of rhizome found significantly maximum in treatment T7 (100% N+50% P+50% K+Azospirillum+Azotobacter+PSB), whereas collar diameter and number of tillers per plant found significantly maximum in treatment T5 (100% N+50% P+ 50% K+ Azospirillum). It was analyzed that, treatment T7 (100% N+50% P+50% K +Azospirillum + Azotobacter +PSB) and T5 (100% N+50% P+ 50% K+ Azospirillum) recorded better growth and yield performance of ginger under bamboo based agro-forestry system with respect to other treatments.
