Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Of late, emphasis is being given on the liberal application of potash in mature tea. To verify the justification or otherwise of this contention, the present experiment was conducted at Khadim Tea Estate to study the effect of variable Potash level in presence of constant N level on the yield of mature tea from 1973-76. Results did not show any significance difference in yield due to the application of potash at variable level.

Keywords: Variable Potash level, Constant N level, Yield, Tea

Location: Khadim Tea Estate

Start Date: 00-00-1973

End Date: 00-00-1976

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Tea

Objectives:

To study the effect of variable Potash level in presence of constant N level on the yield of tea

Methodology:

The experiment was laid under RCBD with 3 replications in Khadim Tea Estate from 1973-76. The treatments were: T₁= 0 lbs K/ac, T₂= 50 lbs K/ac, T₃= 70 lbs K/ac and T₄= 90 lbs K/ac. In all cases N was applied @ 100 lbs/ac. Yield data were recorded regularly.
