Enhancing seedling growth of grafted lime through organic and inorganic fertilizers

Abstract

The study was conducted at Rama University, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, during(2023-2024), to assess the impact of organic amendments and bio-agents on the growth of grafted lime) seedlings in a poly house. Treatments T1 through T8 were evaluated for their effects on seedling development at 60, 90, and 120 days after transplanting (DAT). Results show varied growth patterns across treatments, with T5 consistently demonstrating the highest growth and leaf count. Notably, T5 displayed significant enhancement in both height and leaf count compared to the control treatment (T1). These findings highlight the potential of specific fertilizer combinations, such as the one used in T5, to promote robust growth and leaf development in grafted lime seedlings.
