Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The Samarat fertilizer contains 28.31% N, 1% P and 2.84% potash. The fertilizer also 1.54% S, 4% organic Matter, 0.96% Ca & 0.30% Mg. Beside these major element, Pollabi contains minor elements such as Boron 0.008%, Cu 3.98ppm, Zn 34.68ppm Manganeese102.91ppm. This fertilizer contain higher percentage of moisture(17.03%), as this fertilizer contains higher percentage of Nitrogen and some micro nutrients it may impart beneficial influence on the yield of tea.
