| dc.description.abstract | Oil Palm is recognised as the major source ofvegetable oil with an average oil yield level of 4to6tons perhectare.Howeyer,thecrophasheavyIlutrientdemandand highdegree ofsensitivity.. to major nutrients like N, P and K. Nevertheless, considering the importance of this crop as a potential long term source of edible oil, a field inveĀ§tigation was conducted with a view to study the effect ofapplication of major nutdents through d'fi"p irrigation on yield oftenera oil palm in Konkan coastal region ofMaharashtra. Six different dosage offertilizers were followed through drip system by means of venturi and compared with fertilizer dose of 1200: 600: 2700 g NPKI PalmNear through soil application. The experiment was carried out on 18 years old tenera oil palm orchard. The results of the pooled yield for three years by considering first three years after introduction of fertigation as a transition period indicated that fertilizers @ 1200: 600: 1800 g NPKlpalm/year through six equal splits in a year in the form of Urea, Diammonium Phosphate and Muriate of potash through feritgation recorded highest bunch weight (25.0 kg/ bunch), highest number of fresh fruit bunches (5.2 bunches/palm/year) and 18.8 tons of fresh fruit bunch yield. | en_US |
