Effect of NPK on qualitative traits of Kalonji

Abstract

The judicial use of NPK performs more affluent plant growth, which led to maximum number of pods, resulting in higher yields. Keeping view, the present study is to be conducted on the effect of N, P and K on growth, yield and optimum dose of N, P & K for maximizing yield of Kalonji. In this experiment different combinations of NPK were tried to assess for growth and yield characters under the field condition. The research experiment was conducted in a RBD with three replications and nine treatments. All the parameters were recorded at 45, 90 DAS and at harvest. It is concluded that the different levels of NPK significantly influenced the growth and yield attributes of Kalonji. Hence, out of nine treatments NPK 70:70:55 kg ha-1 was best for enhanced growth and yield of Kalonji.
