Abstract

The investigation on “Standardization of integrated nutrient management for enhancing the yield of Manila tamarind” was carried out to identify the application of optimum concentration of nutrients (NPK @ 100% and 50%) along with biofertilizers (FYM, vermicompost and phosphobacteria) to increase the weight of the fruit and yield of manila tamarind. The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design in three replications with ten treatments. The yield parameters viz., fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), weight of the aril with seed (g),weight of the peel (g), number of arils, number of aril/ fruit, fruit yield (kg/tree/year) was found to be the highest in the treatment which received (T8) 50% of NPK + 5 kg vermicompost + 10 kg FYM+ phosphobacteria 100 g followed by (T4) FYM 10 kg + vermicompost 5 kg+ phosphobacteria 100 g and significantly the least values are observed in control. It can be concluded that the application of 50% of NPK + 5 kg vermicompost + 10 kg FYM+ phosphobacteria 100 g can be recommended for the optimum dose for application of integrated nutrients to enhance the yield of Manila tamarind.
