Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the production of betel leaf

Abstract

Abstract: The effect of twelve treatment combinations comprising four levels of nitrogen (0, 60, 90, & 120 kg/ha), four levels of phosphorus (0, 60, 120, & 180 kg/ha), two levels of potassium (0 & 30 kg/ha) and four levels of mustard oil cake (0, 4, 6 & 8 t/ha) per year on the yield of betel leaf was studied. Leaf characters showed significant differences due to the application of various levels of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The highest yield of 11.32 t/ha was obtained from N90P120K30 kg/ha applied with MC8 t/ha.
