Integrating Fertilizer N Rates with Organics on Soil-Available Nutrients and Yield of Sapota under Semi-Arid Conditions of Karnataka

A field experiment was conducted for three consecutive years to study the effect of various combinations of nitrogenous fertilizer (in the form of urea), vermicompost and FYM on yield and soil-available nutrients in sapota. Largest number of fruits (4820 tree-1) and maximum fruit yield (31 tons ha-1...
