during 2008-09 and 2009-10 for studying the effect of chemical fertilizer and vermicompost on biochemical parameters of banana. The highest total soluble solids, total sugar, reducing sugar and non reducing sugar were recorded under the treatment of 300-90-200g NPK per plant (full dose of RDF) but, it was statistically at par with the application of 150-45-100g NPK per plant (half dose of RDF) during both the years as well as in pooled results. The application of vermicompost @ 8 kg/plant(V 3) recorded significantly the highest total soluble solids, total sugar, reducing sugars and non reducing sugar but it was statistically at par with treatment V 2 (6kg/plant), during both the years as well as in pooled results. Interaction between fertilizer and vermicompost was recorded non significant during both the years as well as in pooled results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
