Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted at Pomology Research Farm of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur during 2009-2010 to study the response of papaya (var. Shahi Pepe) to different nutrients. The yield and yield contributing characters were significantly influenced by the application of N, P, K, S, B and Zn nutrients. Highest number of fruits per plant, individual fruit weight, size of fruit, TSS percentage and yield per plant were achieved by the treatment of N225P60K225S36B2.5Zn4 g/plant and the lowest from control.

Keywords: Nutrient, Papaya

Location: Pomology Research Farm of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2009

End Date: 00-00-2010

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Papaya

Objectives:

The present research work was undertaken to study the response of papaya to different nutrients in Grey Terrace soil of Bangladesh

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the Fruit Research Farm of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur during 2009-2010. Soil characteristics of experimental site were explained.. There were eight treatments along with blanket dose of cow dung 10 t/ha were included in the study. The treatment combinations were: T₁ = N225P60K225S36B2.5Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₂ = N0P60K225S36B2.5Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₃ = N225P0K225S36B2.5Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₄= N225P60K0S36B2.5Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₅ = N225P60K225S0B2.5Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₆ = N225P60K225S36B0Zn4.0 (g/plant) T₇ = N225P60K225S36B2.5Zn0 (g/plant) T₈ = Native fertility . The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design having three replications. The unit plot size and plant spacing were maintained by 4 m x 4 m and 2 m x 2 m respectively. Shahi Pepe was used in the study. The 30 days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field. The beds were prepared and pits measuring 50 x 50 x 50 cm were dug. The seedlings were sown on 15 April 2009 and three seedlings were transplanted in each pit at 20 cm apart. There were 4 pits in each bed which constituted one treatment. When flower was appeared to the plants kept one female plant in each pit and one male plant in each bed. All P, S, B, Zn and cow dung except N were applied and mixed up well with the soils during final land preparation. First top dressing of urea and MOP @ 50 g per pit was applied one month after transplanting, the second and third at 45 days interval from the first top dressing following the same dose. At 4, 5 and 6 top dressing the dose of urea and MOP were double. Intercultural practices like weeding, irrigation, spraying pesticides etc were done when required. Data on number of fruits per plant, individual fruit weight, size of fruit, and yield per plant were recorded. Soil samples were collected before the plating to determine the soil nutrient status. After compilation of field data, it was computed and analyzed statistically adjusting with DMRT test at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

The present investigation indicated that macro and micro nutrient element are essential to obtain higher yield in papaya. Application of N225P60K225S36B2.5Zn4.0 g/plant would be the beneficial for Papaya production in Grey Terrace Soil of Joydeb pur region.
