The present investigation was conducted to Evaluate the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) on the Economic and Physical attributes of Aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaerten). The research was carried at Main Experiment Station, Horticulture, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during the year 2021. It was laid out in a randomized block design with 10 treatments, namely: T1 – Control, T2- RDF 100% (1kg.N: 0.5kg.P:1kg.K per tree), T3- FYM (10kg./tree) + RDF 100%, T4- Poultry Manure (7.5kg./tree) + RDF 100%, T5- FYM (10kg./tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml./tree), T6- Poultry Manure (7.5kg/tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml./tree), T7 -FYM (10kg./tree) + RDF 50% + PSB (10ml./tree), T8- Poultry Manure + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml./tree), T9 –FYM (10kg/tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml./tree) + PSB (10ml./tree) and T10- Poultry Manure (7.5kg/tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml/tree) + PSB (10ml./tree).The experiment was replicated three times. Results showed treatment T10 outperformed the rest with maximum fruit set percent (78.56%), fruit retention (20.29%), fruit yield (102.78 kg/tree), fruit weight (41.89 g), fruit length (3.87 cm), specific gravity (1.05 g/cm3 ) and maximum gross return/ha Rs. (128264), Net return Rs. (92154) and Cost: benefit ratio was evaluated with the use of treatment combination T10. Thus, the treatment combination T10 is therefore recommended for application to Aonla trees in eastern Uttar Pradesh in order to obtain high yields with better quality fruits.

“…There have been many studies on the applications of various organic fertilizer onto pineapple plants, such as using composted poultry manure [17], composted pineapple residue return [18], and other composted materials [19][20][21][22]. According to Darnaudery, et al [23], 'Queen Victoria' pineapple fruits produced via organic fertilization produced the highest total soluble solids content (TSS) and lowest titratable acidity (TA) compared to inorganic fertilization.…”

Effect of Vermicompost Amendment on Nutritional Status of Sandy Loam Soil, Growth Performance, and Yield of Pineapple (Ananas comosus var. MD2) under Field Conditions

Vermicompost is the product of composting or breaking down organic matter through the use of earthworms. It is rich in essential plant nutrients, and has the ability to enhance the condition and increase the quality of the soil. In the present study, a field trial was conducted from January 2015 until March 2016 to elucidate the effects of vermicompost application (compared to supplementation with chemical fertilizer and no fertilizer) on the sandy loam soil and plant nutrients of pineapple (Ananas comosus var. MD2). The morphophysiology and yield performance of MD2 pineapple grown with vermicompost in the field were also evaluated. In this study, vermicompost was applied onto the sandy loam soils during transplanting, followed by a second application at seven MAP (months after planting) at the rate of 10 t ha−1. On the other hand, the chemical fertilizer was applied based on the normal conventional cultivation practice. The soil and D-leaf samples at six MAP (S1) and during the red bud stage (S2; 10 MAP) were used to determine the soil and plant nutrient contents. The morphology of the plants was evaluated every month, and the fruits that were produced were subjected to quality analysis. Data analysis revealed that soil pH was increased after a second supplementation of vermicompost and contained significantly higher total N (0.15%) in the soils compared to the control (0.07%). There was no significant difference between plants supplied with chemical fertilizer and vermicompost in terms of plant height, number of leaves, or the length and width of D-leaves. However, different fertilization treatments were found to affect the yield and physical characteristics of the resulting fruits. Plants supplied with chemical fertilizer produced the highest fruit yield (136.97 t ha−1) with the largest fruit size, followed by vermicompost (121.39 t ha−1) and the control (94.93 t ha−1). However, fruits supplied with vermicompost were observed to have the smallest crowns. Taken together, these results indicated that the use of vermicompost produced pineapple plants with excellent growth performance, comparable to that obtained when chemical fertilizer was used. Also, based on the cost analysis conducted, it was shown that the total cost (fertilizer and labor) for plants grown with vermicompost was lower than plants grown with chemical fertilizer. However, the usage of vermicompost as the single source of nutrients is not suggested for this type of soil and field conditions, but can be used as a supplement to maintain the soil quality and ensure agricultural sustainability.
