Abstract:
The present investigation entitled, “Fertilizer requirement of acid lime cv. Phule Sharbati (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)” was conducted during 2018 at the Research Farm of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dhule. The field experiment was laid out with nine treatments replicated thrice in Factorial Randomized Block Design. The main treatment includes three levels of nitrogen as 600, 700, 800 g N plant^-1 and the sub treatments includes three levels of potassium as 600, 700, 800 g K₂O plant^-1 and P₂O₅ @ 300 g plant^-1 along with FYM @ 20 kg plant^-1 were commonly used for all the treatment combinations. Application of 800 g N and 800 g K₂O and the treatment combination 800:300:700 g N: P₂O₅: K₂O plant^-1 along with 20 kg FYM plant^-1 showed a superior performance regarding yield and yield contributing characters i.e. fruit yield in terms of number of fruits harvested per plant, Weight of fruit (g), fruit yield (kg plant^-1), Fruit yield (t ha^-1) in acid lime.
