Effect of organic and conventional nutrient management on leaf nutrient status of broad leaf mustard (Brassica juncea var. rugosa) / B. P. Bhattarai in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 2 (2018)
[article]
Title : Effect of organic and conventional nutrient management on leaf nutrient status of broad leaf mustard (Brassica juncea var. rugosa) Material Type: printed text Authors: B. P. Bhattarai, Author ; K.P. Singh, Author ; S. M. Shakya, Author ; G. B. K.C., Author ; Y. G. Khadka, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 101-105 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Broad leaf mustard, organic, conventional, leaf and nutrient Abstract: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic and conventional nutrient management
on leaf nutrient status of broad leaf mustard (Brassica juncea var. rugosa) in the farmer’s field, at
Dakshinkali Municipality -2, Kathmandu, Nepal during the year 2016 - 2018. The experiment was
done using a Randomized Complete Block Design. There were a total of 13 treatments viz. T1 (24
t/ha Farm Yard Manure (FYM)), T2 (6 t/ha. Vermicompost), T3 (4 t/ha. Poultry Manure), T4 (12 t/
ha Compost), T5 (½ NPK + 3 t/ha. Vermicompost), T6 (¾ NPK + 1.5 t/ ha. Vermicompost), T7 (½
NPK+12 t/ha. FYM), T8 (¾ NPK +6 t/ha. FYM), T9 ( ½ NPK + 2 t/ha. Poultry Manure), T10 ( ¾
NPK + 1 t/ha. Poultry Manure), T11 ( ½ NPK + 6 t/ha. compost), T12 (¾ NPK + 3 t/ha. compost), and
T13 (Control), each with three replications. Findings revealed that, maximum leaf nitrogen (4.23%),
leaf phosphorus(0.73%), leaf potassium (4.537%), and leaf calcium (2.80%) were observed in T5
(½ NPK + 3 t/ha. Vermicompost) whereas the maximum leaf magnesium (0.32%) contents was found
in T5 (½ NPK + 3 t/ha. Vermicompost), and T6 (¾ NPK + 1.5 t/ ha. Vermicompost). But, in the case
of leaf iron ( 802.90 ppm) it was higher in T2 (6 ton/ha. Vermicompost). Thus, reducing N about ½ of
the recommended dose, and adding vermicompost reasonably proved effective practice in improving
major nutrient contents of broad leaf mustard.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Effect_of_organic_and_conventional_nutrie [...]
