ABSTRACT

The nutritional need of acid lime is unique and differs from other fruit crops as it has continuous flowering and heavy fruiting habit. An experiment was conducted with the key objective of studying the effect of integrated nutrient management system on yield and quality of acid lime, variety PKM 1. In this study,  application of 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers (600:200:300 g NPK plant-1 year-1 )+ Azospirillum (100g plant-1) + phosphobacteria (100g plant-1) + Arbuscular Mycorrizhal Fungi (500g plant-1) + Trichoderma harzianum (100g plant-1) has showed a superior performance regarding yield, yield attributing components and quality attributes of acidlime.
