Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif-rabi season of the year 2019-
2020 at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand
(Gujarat) to study “Effect of foliar spray of Nitrogen and Potash on yield and quality
of hybrid bidi tobacco”. The soil of the experimental field was loamy sand in texture,
low in organic carbon (0.29%) and available nitrogen (173 kg ha-1), medium in
available phosphorus (55 kg ha-1) and high in available potassium (310 kg ha-1) with
slightly alkaline (pH 7.98) in reaction.
The nine treatments viz., T1 (RDN @180 kg ha-1), T2 (RDN fb Foliar spray of
2% Urea at 45 and 60 DATP), T3 (RDN fb Foliar spray of 2% SOP at 45 and 60
DATP), T4 (RDN fb Foliar spray of 2% Urea + Foliar spray of 2% SOP tank mix at
45 and 60 DATP), T5 (RDN fb Foliar spray of 2% KNO3 at 45 and 60 DATP), T6
(75% RDN fb Foliar spray of 2% Urea at 45 and 60 DATP), T7 (75% RDN fb Foliar
spray of 2% SOP at 45 and 60 DATP), T8 (75% RDN fb Foliar spray of 2% Urea +
Foliar spray of 2% SOP tank mix at 45 and 60 DATP), T9 (75% RDN fb Foliar spray
of 2% KNO3 at 45 and 60 DATP) were studied in Randomized Block Design with
four replications.
