Title : Micro nutrient trials

Author : A.L. Sarpotdar,R.S. Sachan,R.G.Menon and H.L.Kulkarni

Year : 1975

Micro nutrients act as catalytic agents in accelerating organic reactions in the plant systems. they regulate formation of aminoacids, proteins and sugars. These elements have been shown to advance maturity in crops and increase their yields. A field experiment to test the efficiencies of different micronutrients available in the market was laid out.

Date of planting : 3rd week of January 76.

Variety : Co 62175.

Treatments:

(1) Micronutrient

Chemical compositions,

(1) 'Nuspartin'

Cu So4.-12000 ppm; Mgso4 200,000 ppm.
 

Zn So4-250,000 ppm; Fe So4 50,000 ppm.
 

Cobalt-200 ppm; Mn So4 100000 ppm.
      

Mobybdenum 100 ppm; Borax 200000 ppm.

(2) 'Zymag spray'

Zn + 5 + Mg + Ca

Proportions not available.
     

MN + FC + CU + Bo

     
      

Vit. B.

   

Treatments:
    

A. N.P.K. Application without micro nutrients.
     

B. N.P.K. with Zymag in soil.
    

C. N.P.K. with Zymag as spray.
      

D. N.P.K. with Zymag and urea spray (2.5 Kg. urea per hect.)
    

E. N.P.K. with Nuspartin as spray.

Replications : 4.

Size of Plot : 37.5 sp. meters with 4 rows per plot.

Treatment applications :

Nuspartin:
     

I Spray Nuspartin 3.75 Kg. per hect. mixed with 500 litres of water given at 8th week after planting.
    

II Spray given at 16th week after planting.
     

III Spray given at 24th week after planting.

Nymag :
    

I Spray with 1.875 Kg. within 200 litres of water per hect. given at 8th week after planting.
  

II Spray at 16th week after planting.
   

III Spray at 24th week after planting.

Results:

Germination counts are taken after 8th week after planting.

Yield of cane per hect. and quality of juice at 9, 10, 11 and 12th months are to be recorded.
