dc.description.abstractThe effect of graded levels and methods of fertilizer application on growth characters and recovery of vigorous seedlings in WCT coconut nursery was studied. The results of two year experiments revealed that growth characters did not differ significantly due to fertilization. However, most of the parameters particularly collar girth and leaf area/seedling were relatively better with fertilizer applied treatments compared to no-fertilizer. Drymatter production above ground and number of roots/seedling were significantly superior in T-8 (FYM 25 t/ha + N and K-160 kg each/ha as soil application) and T-7 (FYM 25 t/ha + N and K-80 kg each/ha as soil application) treatments in both the years. Although recovery per cent of vigorous seedlings from total germinated nuts was non significant due to various treatments, higher mean recovery of 80% was obtained with T-8 followed by 76.6% in T-7 treatment than 66.4% in control. Inspite of higher cost of cultivation at Rs 3,60,357/ha for T-8 and Rs 3,58,918/ha of nursery for T-7 treatments, the cost of production per seedling was worked out as Rs 9.76 and Rs 10.17, respectively for T-8 and T-7 treatments as compared to Rs 11.07/seedling in unfertilized treatment.en_US
