Integrated Nutrient Management on Snake gourd in Konkan Region

By Ananta Mahale

Intensive cultivation and improper fertilizer use leads to deficiency of nutrients, thus resulting in lower yield of crops. Therefore, the use of farm input in the form of organic manure has become necessary. Though manures are usually very bulky and the cost of transportation is high but are safe sources of nutrition as they are environmental friendly, release their nutrients in a slow and steady manner to crop in the field thereby activating soil microbial activities (Eifediyi and Remison, 2010). Organic manure sustains cropping systems through better nutrient recycling and improvement in soil physical, chemical and biological properties. The use of organic manures has been observed to have beneficial effect on soil texture and structure.
