Abstract
A field study was conducted for three consecutive years from 2019–20 to
2021–22 at Sultanpur district in U.P., India to find out the effect of
integrated nutrient management (INM) on production performance of makhana (Euryale
ferox Salisb.) under field condition. The experiment consisted of six INM
treatments and executed in ran- domized block design with four replications.
Results revealed that application of 25% RDN through vermicompost + 75% RDN
through chemical fertilizers + recommended dose of P2O5-K2O
proved to be the best treatment and recorded significantly higher leaf diameter,
total chlorophyll content in leaves, number of fruits per plant, number of
seeds per fruit, seed weight, seed yield and profitability as compared to other
treatments. The combined applica- tion of synthetic and organic fertilizers has
been found to be the best solution to improve the production potential of the
crop and keep the natural resources sustainable for longer time.
