Abstract

A field trial was conducted for two years in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab to know the major nutrient requirement of kinnow in a low fertility status soil. Response to P application as well as its interaction with other nutrients were insignificant. However, response to N and P application, and their interaction at lower levels were significant with respect to various qualitative and quantitative yield parameters. Thus in addition to N, kinnow also responds to P application.
