Impact of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of guava (Psidium guajava L.)
Guava is an important fruit crop with regards to its nutritional and commercial value. Production and productivity are the prime concern of the researchers and farmers throughout the world. Looking to the cumulative toxic effects of inorganic fertilizers and chemicals used in maximizing the production and productivity, Integrated Nutrient Management is an effective measure. Keeping these facts in view, an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of KVK Majhgawan, distt. Satna, MP. with an objective of studying the effect of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers on growthand yield of guava, to find out the best treatment combination of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers for increasing the growth and yield of guava. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 13 treatments replicated thrice. It was concluded from the experiment that treatment T5 (100% recommended dose of NPK + 50kg FYM + 150g Azotobacter + 100g PSB) gave the best results as far as growth, flowering, fruiting, yield and Quality.
