dc.description.abstractA field experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on seed yield and quality of fennel” was conducted at the Main Garden, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during 2016. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications and two factor i.e. factor “A” N1( 40 kg N ha-1), N2 (80 kg N ha-1), N3 (120 kg N ha-1) and N4 (160 kg N ha-1) factor “B” P1 (30 kg P ha-1),P2 (60 kg P ha-1) andP3 (90 kg P ha-1) with 12 treatment combinations. Nitrogen level N3 (120 kg N ha-1) was found significantly superior in respect of plant height (13.81 cm, 46.74 cm and 103.99 cm at 30, 60, 90 DAS), number of primary branches per plant (3.17, 5.13 and 6.90 at 30, 60 and 90 DAS ),number of secondary branches per plant (8.92, 18.63 and 24.86 at 30, 60 and 90 DAS), number of umbels per plant (26.05), number of umbellets per umbel (13.89), seed yield per plant (13.25 g), seed yield per plot (373.68 g), seed yield per hectare (9.89 qt), test weight (8.74 g), germination percent (89.67%). Days required for first flowering (64.56),days required for 50% flowering (85.16),days required for seed harvesting (168.72) recorded minimum with treatment N1(40 kg N ha-1). Available nitrogen (219.83 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (17.51 kg ha-1), plant nitrogen uptake (57.78), plant phosphorus uptake (12.14) and plant potassium uptake (20.79) recorded maximum with N4 - 160 kg N ha-1. While, available potassium recorded non- significant effect due to different levels nitrogen. Regarding the phosphorus levels,P2 (60 kg P ha-1) was found significantly superior for plant height (12.58 cm, 45.40 cm and 102.70 cm at 30, 60, 90 DAS), number of primary branches per plant (2.43, 4.69 and 6.00 at 30, 60 and 90 DAS ),number of secondary branches per plant (8.12, 17.43 and 24.18 at 30, 60 and 90 DAS), number of umbels per plant (25.01), number of umbellets per umbel (12.59), seed yield per plant (12.41 g), seed yield per plot (347.55 g), seed yield per hectare (9.19 qt), test weight(7.86 g) and germination percent (83.50%). Available nitrogen (218.07 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (16.37 kg ha-1), plant nitrogen uptake (48.03), plant phosphorus uptake (11.28) and plant potassium uptake (19.16) recorded maximum with P3 - 90 kg N ha-1. While, available potassium recorded non- significant effect due to different levels of nitrogen. Days required for first flowering (66.66),days required for 50% flowering (86.83),days required for harvesting (170.21) recorded minimum with treatment P1(30 kg P ha-1). Interaction effect between different nitrogen and phosphorus levels, N3 (120 kg ha-1) and P2 (60 kg ha-1) was found to be significant for plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, days required for first flowering, days required for 50% flowering, number of umbels per plant, number of umbellate per umbel, seed yield per plant, seed yield per plot, seed yield per ha, test weight, germination percent, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, plant nitrogen uptake, plant phosphorus uptake except days required for seed harvesting, available potassium and plant potassium uptake of fennel. Considering the cost economics, nitrogen level N3 (120 kg ha-1) and P2 (60 kg ha-1) were found to be most remunerative and profitable as per the B:C ratio (1:3.48) for fennel seed production.en_US
