ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted during 2014 - 15 and 2015 - 16 at College of Agriculture College, Department of Horticulture, Hyderabad the effect of integrated nutrient management on fruit characters and economics of papaya cv. red lady. The experiment laid out RBD design with ten treatments including organic, inorganic and bio fertilizers were comprised with three replications. The results revealed that the application of T9 - 75% RDF + 10 kg VC + 100g Azotobacter +100g PSB plant-1. The higher number of fruits per plant (32.98 and 31.45), Fruit length (27.23 cm and 25.45 cm), Fruit weight (2018.00 g and 1840.24 g), Pulp thickness (2.66 cm and 2.02 cm), Fruit yield (31.34 kg plant-1 and 32.10 kg plant-1) during both years respectively and T9 treatment recorded higher B: C ratio (2.15). Hence, integrated nutrient management practices have been found to be an ideal option for improve growth of fruit characters and soil fertility.
Keywords: Bio- fertilizers, Fruit length, Fruit weight, INM, Pulp thickness.
