Title: Influence of organic manures with recommended inorganic fertilizers on yield of sweet orange (Bari malta 1)
Abstract: The experiment was carried out at the research orchard of Horticulture Research Centre, Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong to determine the influence of organic manure with the recommended inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield of BARI Malta 1. Six treatments, i. e., consisting of organic manures along with recommended inorganic fertilizers, were used. Results revealed that application of mixed organic manure consisting of 10kg cowdung with 10kg poultry manure or 1 kg mustered oilcake with recommended fertilizers significantly influenced the fruit bearing and yield of fruits and produced 100% and 87% higher yield than only cowdung with recommended inorganic fertilizer and recommended inorganic fertilizers alone. This treatment also showed better plant growth and quality fruit production as indicated by plant height, canopy spread and the highest TSS content (8%) in the harvested fruits.
Key Words: Sweet orange, Citrus, Organic manure and Inorganic fertilizer
