Experiments were undertaken to optimize the nutrient requirement for maximizing the bark yield in cinnamon. It was observed that the incorporation of vesicular arbuscular mucorrhiza (VAM) at 3 kg/tree had a synergistic effect and increased the plant height, girth and the number of branches. Bark yield was maximum in the treatment T9 (250g N, 130g P and 250g K/tree/year and VAM 3kg/tree) during the first (1.615 kg/tree) and second harvests (2.050 kg/tree). The influence of VAM on the induction of higher bark yield in cinnamon is evident.
