| Abstract: | An experiment was
conducted during kharif season of 2000 and 2001 to study the response of
Alpinia galanga Willd. to
nitrogen and phosphorus in upland terraces under mid altitude conditions of
Meghalaya. The results indicated that increasing levels of nitrogen and
phosphorus application significantly increased fresh rhizome yield up to 100 Kg
N/ha and 80 Kg P2O5/ha. Thereafter, non significant
effects were noticed. Application of 100 Kg N/ha has also resulted in highest
oil content (0.37%), which was at par with oil contents observed from the
application of 80 Kg P2O5/ha (0.34%) and 120 Kg P2O5/ha
(0.36%). The interaction effects were significant for plant height and fresh
rhizome yield, recording highest values at 150 Kg N and 120 Kg P2O5/
ha. These values were at par with the values obtained from the application of
100 Kg N/ ha and 80 Kg P2O5/ ha for these two characters. |
