Nitrogen management through different organic manures on growth and fruit yield of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out on “Nitrogen management through different organic manures on growth and fruit yield of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.)” at Agroecology and Environment Centre, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during the Kharif season of the year 2022-23. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and replicated thrice. Among different treatments application of 100% Nitrogen through vermicompost was recorded significantly highest plant height (2.36 m), plant spread (2.10 m), plant volume (10.89 m3), number of flowers plant-1 (54.50), number of fruits plant-1 (40.58), fruit set (74.85%), fruit diameter (7.70 cm), fruit weight (245.75 g), fruit yield (9.97 kg plant-1) and fruit yield (6.23 tones ha-1).
