Abstract

A field experiment was carried out with two year old trees to determine the influence of varying doses of N, P and K fertilization on growth of peach plants. The findings revealed that high level of N produced the maximum height circumference and spread of the plants followed by medium and low levels. On the other hand, the low level of K gave better results than the medium and high levels.
