Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at AICRP on water management Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during 1997-98 on vertic Ustropept. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications and eight treatments. The treatments consisted of (a) four levels of NP and K through Richfield water soluble fertilizers (RWSF) viz., 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% per cent of recommended dose, (b) four levels of NPK through straight fertilizers (SF) viz., 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% per cent of recommended dose. The growth parameters such as cane height, no of internodes, girth of internodes, weight/cane and leaf area were found to be maximum in 125% RD of RWSF as compared to SF. Application of RWSF resulted into higher cane yield (153.35 t/ha) by 9% over to that of SF (141.76 t/ha). The fertilizers application through drip at 125% RD was found to be significantly superior to those of 100% RD.
