Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to know the “Effect of macronutrients on establishment of Korean lawn grass (Zoysia japonica Steud.)” at horticultural research cum institutional farm, Pt. KLS College of Horticulture and Research Station, Pendri Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh during the year 2020-2021 In Randomized Block Design (RBD), with three replications and 12 treatments. The treatments includes, T₁: Control (Without any fertilizers), T₂: 50g N₂ + 20g P₂O₅ + 30 g K₂O per m², T₃: 45g N₂ + 15g P₂O₅ + 25g K₂O per m², T₄: 45g N₂ + 10g P₂O₅ + 20g K₂O per m² T₅: 40g N₂ + 20g P₂O₅ + 30g K₂O per m², T₆: 40g N₂ + 10g P₂O₅ + 20g K₂O per m², T₇: 40g N₂ + 05g P₂O₅ + 15g K₂O per m², T₈: 30g N₂ + 10g P₂O₅ + 20g K₂O per m², T₉: 30g N₂ + 05g P₂O₅ + 10g K₂O per m², T₁₀: 30g N₂ + 05g P₂O₅ + 05g K₂O per m², T₁₁: 20g N₂ + 10g P₂O₅ + 10g K₂O per m², T₁₂: 20g N₂ + 05g P₂O₅ + 05g K₂O per m². The experimental results revealed that the T₂ (50g N₂ + 20g P₂ O₅ + 30g K₂O per m²) performed best in growth character namely, shoot length of turf, leaf length of turf, root length of turf, shoot fresh weight of turf.
