| description | Teak (fectona grandis L.f) is one of the high quality timber species in the world. A greenhouse experiment
was conducted to determine the growth response of teak seedlings to N, P, K fertilizers. The results of the present
study indicated that root weight, leaf area and total plant weight of the teak seedlings were significantly affected
by all the three main factors i.e. N, P and K Height increment, leaf weight, shoot weight and root length showed
statistically significant responses to N and P fertilizers. The main effects of N and K but not of P were statistically
significant for diameter increment. There was significant main effect of N only far root-shoot ratio. The present
study also revealed that the application of 564 kg/ha ammonium sulphate, 300 kg/ha triple superphosphate and
75 kg/ha muriate ofpotash are required to enhance height and diameter growth and total plant weight of teak
seedlings at nursery stage. |
