Evaluation of Economic Feasibility for Aonla Production with the Aid of Integrated Nutrient Management

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2018-19 and 2019-2020 to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on economic return for aonla production. The experiment was statistically laid out in Randomized Block Design with 13 treatments which were replicated three times. The treatments vizT_1:100% RDF (1:0.5:1+ 10kg per plant),T_2:75% RDF+10kgVermicompost,T_3:75 % RDF+10kg Vermicompost+ 250g Azotobacter+ 250gPSB, T₄ :75 % RDF+20kg Vermicompost,T_5:75% RDF + 20kg Vermicompost + 250g Azotobacter +250g PSB,T_6:75% RDF + 30kg Vermicompost, T_7: 75% RDF + 30 kg Vermicompost+ 250g Azotobacter+250g PSB,T₈ :50%RDF + 10kg Vermicompost,T₉ : 50 % RDF + 10kg Vermicompost+ 250g Azotobacter+ 250 g PSB,T₁₀:50 % RDF + 20kg Vermicompost,T₁:50 % RDF + 20kg Vermicompost+ 250g Azotobacter+ 250g PSB,T₁₂ :50% RDF + 30kg Vermicompost, T₁₃:.50% RDF+ 30 kg Vermicompost+250g Azotobacter+ 250g PSB. The soil application of different organic manure and inorganic fertilizer were found significantly superior for better quality yield which could be a cause of maximum economic return. The maximum yield attributing characters were noted under the treatment T_7: 75% RDF + 30 kg Vermicompost+ 250g Azotobacter+250g PSB. Maximum yield gives maximum return and maximum economic return was noted under the same treatment T₇. The treatment T₁ which comprises 100 % RDF (1:0.5:1: N: P: K + 10kg FYM plant ^-1) resulted in the lowest yield which was the cause of minimum economic return during both the year of experimentation i.e. 2018-19 and 2019-20.
