dc.description.abstract | The 'Drumstick tree,' Moringa oleifera (Lam.), is one of the most important species in the Moringaceae family. The nutritional factors make Moringa an important tree to cultivate. To produce a healthy tree we need healthy seedlings, considering this a study was carried out to standardize appropriate Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) strategies for optimizing the growth of the seedlings in order to obtain the best quality seedlings. A nursery experiment was conducted by raising seedlings in polybags filled with soil and different combination of organic, chemical and bio fertilizer of varying doses. Total 16 different treatments were given to Moringa and the fertilizers used were Urea, DAP, MOP, FYM, Poultry manure and Azotobacter. The results revealed that the shoot and root length, collar diameter and number of leaves were increased by INM treatments. Among all treatments T12 (poultry manure + Azotobacter +125% of NPK) performed better for all the major morphological attributes (plant height, collar diameter, fresh weigh, vigor index, dry weight, chlorophyll concentration). T16 (control) performed better for germination percent (100%). The economics of the study showed that the treatment T8 had maximum B:C ratio (3.72) with a net return of (Rs.318.18). | |
