Effect of Different Combination of N, P and K on Growth, Yield and Quality of Litchi

Three levels of N (50, 100, 150 g) with two levels each of P₂O₅ and K₂O (25, 50 g) were applied to per plant per year age. Thus there were twelve fertilizer combinations with two plants unit and replicated thrice. Maximum tree height (2.42 m), stem girth (24.8 cm), tree spread North-South and East-West (2.8 m each) were recorded with N₃P₁K₁ (150 g N 4- 25 g P₃O₅ + 25 g K₂O). N₃P₁K₁ treatment produced significantly more height and East-West spread over all other fertilizer combinations. However in the case of stem girth, it was non-significant only with N₂P₁K₁, N₂P₂K₁ and N₂P₂K₂ combinations. Whereas the fertilizer combinations of (100 g N + 50 g P₂O₅ + 50 g K₂O) produced the better yield and good quality of litchi CV. Calcuttia Late.
