Response of Organic and Inorganic Nutrient Sources on Soil Nutrient Status of Cucumber Production under Protected Cultivation

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: A study was conducted at Hi-Tech Unit, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the effects of different nutrient sources on post harvest soil fertility status in cucumber under Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse. The present study comprises eight treatment combinations with four replications under completely randomized design. From the study, it was found that application of 50% organic management through innovative approaches and 50 % RDF through organic fertilizers resulted in maximum production of cucumber and maximum uptake of macro nutrients by the cucumber plants. It is also confirmed that treatment T7 (50% organic and 50% inorganic fertilizer) improved the post harvest soil fertility status for next crop with better quality produce.
