Effects of Different Levels of Agricultural-Lime on Brinjal (Solanum Melongena L) Production in Acid Soils / B. H. Adhikary ; C. Adhikary
Title : Effects of Different Levels of Agricultural-Lime on Brinjal (Solanum Melongena L) Production in Acid Soils Material Type: printed text Authors: B. H. Adhikary, Author ; C. Adhikary, Author Pagination: 316-320 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: agricultural-lime, brinjal fruit production. soil pH, Solanum melongena Abstract: Field experiment Oil brinjal (Solanum melongena L var. Pokhara Lurki) was conducted in
acid soils (4.13- 4.23 pH) during the years 2001 and 2002 at Malepatan, Pokhara to
evaluate the effects of agricultural-lime Oil the production of brinjal fruits and its effect Oil
soil pH. The experiment was designed in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with
three replications. The plot size was 12 m2
• The fertilizer and manures were applied at the
rate of 100:75:75 N: PzO$: KzO kg/Ira and 25 tom per hectare of compost. Six levels of
agricultural-lime (0 tllra, 1 t, 2 t, 3 t, 5 t, and 10 tlha) were applied as the treatments in the
experiment. The results revealed that significant (P< 0.05) respollse of agricultural lime
was observed Oil fruit length and number of fruits per plant. The fruit circumference was
significantly (P<O.Ol) increased with tire incl'eased level of lime. The fruit yield production
due to different levels of lime was observed significantly contributed in both the years. The
mean yield results indicated a non-significant yield differences among 3t/lta (12.31 tlha),
5t/lra (12.1 t/ha) and JOt/Ira (13.06 t/lta), Soil test results revealed that mean soil pH value
before lime application was observed to be 4.13 pH, whereas the pH value after lime
application was obtained to be 5.34 pH which was almost 29% increased over that year
before lime application. On the basis of brinjal fruit yield alld quality, 3t/lra agricultural
lime is suggested for acid soil of Malepatan. If someone is interested to increase soil pH
without considering cost of agricultural lime, 51/Ira could be applied without affecting
brinjal yield.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=546 Effects of Different Levels of Agricultural-Lime on Brinjal (Solanum Melongena L) Production in Acid Soils [printed text] / B. H. Adhikary, Author ; C. Adhikary, Author . - [s.d.] . - 316-320 p.
