Study of Effective Micro-Organisms (Em) and Other Nutrients on Tomato and Potato Under Field Condition at Khumaltar / Sherchan, K. ; G. Malia ; A. Sharma    

Public ISBD in Fourth national workshop on horticulture , March 2-4, 2004 ; Abstracts     Title : Study of Effective Micro-Organisms (Em) and Other Nutrients on Tomato and Potato Under Field Condition at Khumaltar Material Type: printed text Authors: Sherchan, K., Author ; G. Malia, Author ; A. Sharma, Author Pagination: 386-390 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: effective  microorganisms,  nutrients,  potato,  tomato, Abstract: The use of Effective Microorganisms (EM) and other nutrient sources were studied in tomato and potato under field condition at Khumaltar. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of EM and other nutriellt sources including chemical fertilizer on tomato and potato. The treatmelll combinations were control, N: P: K, EM alone, EM + N: P: K, EM + Half N: P: K, Compost, EM + Compost and Bokashi. The results indicated that the EM alone does not seem to improve the crop yield. However, EM together with organic sources has the highest effect to improve the potato and tomato yields. Highest tomato yield was obtained from treatment with Compost with EM to an increment of 172% over the control. The Colllrol gave the lowest yield. Similarly in potato, EM with compost gave 134% advantage over the colltrol. Highest potato tuber yield was obtained by the treatmellt of EM with ~ NPK and~ Compost {17,153 Kg/ha) in the year 200012001 and by EM with ~ NPK and~ Compost (18,250 kglha) during 200112002. While comparing each treatment with and without EM, Half NPK + Compost and Compost treatmellts showed positive response to increase tuber yield. The study suggests that the EM clearly helps to decompose compost bases faster than the traditional sources and makes nutrients available when sprayed or incorporated illfo the soil. The beneficial effect of EM on improving yield is visible if it is supplemented with other organic sources.
