| dc.description.abstract | Vegetables are considered as "Supplementary protective food". Among the vegetables pea (Pisum sativum Linn.) a leguminous crop and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) a Solanaceous crop are important vegetables. Both crops are grown widely in India but their productions per unit are very low as compared to world's production. Major constraints such as poor soil management including pH of the soil and fertility levels etc. are responsible for low production. The production can be raised to a great extent by improving soil condition and optimum use of fertilizers. The experiment" Effect of lime and potash on the growth, yield and quality of pea and tomato" was conducted at vegetable Research Section of the Department of Horticulture, B.A.U. Kanke, Ranchi during Rabi season of 1995-96. The experiment was designed in Randomised Block Design having nine treatments, replicated three times. The levels of lime were 0 (control), 200 (L) and 400 Kg/ha (L) and levels of potash were 0 (control),40 Kg. (K) and 80 Kg/ha (K2). As such there were nine treatment combination i.e. Loko, biko, ₂KO, LOK1, L1K1, L2K1, LoK2. LK2 and L2K2. Results of the experiment indicated that growth and yield attributing characters of pea and tomato were significantly affected by both lime and potash application but their combination effect of both factors failed to influence significantly. An increasing levels of both lime and potash application increased growth characters, yield and yield attribute characters. Maximum vegetative growth (110.99 cm) and highest yield (115.11 g/ha) was obtaine with 400 Kg lime application in pea. In tomato, maximum vegetative growth (104.81cm) was recorded with 200 Kg lime application and highest yield (228.23 g/ha) was obtained with 400 Kg lime per hectare. Among the potash application, K40 Kg/ha gave maximum vegetative growth 110.17 cm and 107.47 cm for pea and tomato and K80 Kg/ha gave the highest yield 104.17 g/ha and 237.32 q/ha for both pea and tomato crop. Highest net return 17746.86 Rs/ha and maximum benefit cost ratio 1.74 was obtained at 400 and Kg/ha for pea crop. Similarly highest net return Rs 51418.48 /ha and maximum benefit cost ratio 4.97 was obtained at 400 Kg/ha for tomato crop. In respect with potash application, maximum net return Rs 14619.84/ha and maximum B:C ratio 1.48 was obtained at K40 Kg/ha for pea and for tomato crop, maximum net return Rs 54217.10 /ha and maximum benefit cost ratio 5.32 was obtained at K80 Kg/ha for tomato crop. | |
