Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to know the impact of integrated nutrient management on growth parameters of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa at farmer’s field, Bagepalli taluk, Chikkaballapur district. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications and twelve treatments. The results indicated that, the growth parameters such as plant height, stem girth, number of stems per plant, plant spread (N-S and E-W), number of shoots, shoot length, shoot girth, number of leaves per shoot and leaf area were significantly higher in a plants treated with 100 per cent RDF + vermicompost (5kg/plant) + neem cake (1kg/plant) + trichokawach (100g/plant) ₊ darakshak (4ml/litre) foliar application + VAM (50g/plant) + Penicillium pinophilum (20g/plant) + seaweed extract (20g/plant) + chitosan (2g/litre) + salicylic acid (300ppm) + phosphoric acid (3ml/litre) + micronutrients through soil and foliar application + growth regulators (foliar application). Hence, it indicated that, treatment (T₁₂) enhances the growth parameters which indirectly improves the flowering and yielding capacity of pomegranate plants.
