EFFECT OF PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM ON THE GROWTH OF GHORA NEEM (Melia azedarach L.) SEEDLINGS AT THE NURSERY STAGE (Pages : 13 - 16)

A polybag experiment was conducted at the research field of the Department of Agroforestry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Bangladesh during the period of February 2005 to August 2005 to observe the effect of four levels of Phosphorous and Potassium fertilizers on the growth of Ghora neem (Melia azedarach) seedling. There were four treatments namely: no fertilization, 2 gm, 3 gm, 4 gm (Phosphorous + Potassium)/ polybag, respectively. Each polybag was filled up with a mixture of soil and cow dung of 2 Kg with a ratio of soil : cow dung is 3:1. Data were recorded three times such as 90, 150 and 210 days after seed sowing. Results showed that all the growth and yield parameters were influenced by the fertilization among the treatments. Download
