| Abstract:
The studies were carried out on 20 year old Golden Delicious apple trees grafted on seedling rootstock and planted at a distance of 6 x 6 m. The experiment was laid out according to 33 factorial RBD with NPK fertilizers for the studies relating to growth and productivity of Golden Delicious apple. Growth increased with increasing levels of N but K level had no effect. High level of N and medium level of P recorded significantly higher yields. However, the combination N2P1K2 recorded maximum growth but the combination N1P1K1 gave the highest yield. | |
