Author(s): Shubham Lamba, KS Grewal and Vijay Kumar
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during 2013–14 at the Regional Research Station, Karnal, Haryana, to study the impact of fertilizer levels on sugarcane yield and the available nutrients of clay loam soil of experiment site. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design, comprising 12 treatments, viz. control (no fertilizer), N, NP, NPK, NPKS, NPK+Zn, NPK+Fe, NPK+Mn, NPKS+Zn, NPKS+Zn+Fe, NPKS+Zn+Fe+Mn and soil test based fertilizer application. The treatments were executed on clay loam soil having low organic carbon and N status and medium P and K status. The results of the experiment showed that the available N status was significantly higher where NPK + Fe was applied whereas available P, K and yield were found relatively higher where NPK+S was applied. The yield was found highest in treatment where balanced doses of NPK with micronutrients were added.
