| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment conducted during rainy season of 1995 to 1998 nt CPCRI, Kasaragod revealed that sizes of planting material and plant-population levels did not influence the nutrient content of arrowroot {Maranta arundianacea L). But organic manures like farmyard manure, vermicompost and combination of FYM + NPK, NPK alone treatments had higher average N, P and K contents compared with composted coir-pith treatment. Nutrient uptake did not differ significantly due to sizes of planting material, whereas with 166,00 population the uptake was significantly higher. Under farmyard manure, vermicompost and combination of FYM + NPK treatments, the N, P and K removal was higher. The fresh- rhizome yield did not differ significantly due to size of planting material and population level. FYM + NPK combination recorded significantly higher fresh-rhizome yield. | en_US |
