Abstract

A field experiment was carried out in 2012-13 to study the location specific nutrient requirement based on soil test value during the first year growth and development of Dalbergia sissoo raised from clonal source. The study area was located at TNPL, Karur (11º03´44.33" N latitude and 77º59´19.95" E longitude) Tamil Nadu, India. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with four replications. There were six different treatment combinations of soil test value based organic and inorganic fertilizers. Among the treatments, 125% of STV 138:98:65 NPK kg ha-1 + VAM (100g plant-1) + Azospirillum (50g plant-1) + Phosphobacteria (50g plant-1) + FYM (500g plant-1) recorded significantly maximum growth parameters, quality parameters and nutrient uptake followed by 100 % of STV- 110:78:52 NPK kg ha-1 + VAM (100g plant-1) + Azospirillum (50g plant-1) + Phosphobacteria (50g plant-1) + FYM (500g plant-1). The results indicate that soil test value based integrated application of organics along with inorganic fertilizers could increase the growth as well as dry matter production in clonal plants of Dalbergia sissoo during the initial growth stages.
