Nutrient Management

Nutrient Management: (Tested for the state of Sikkim-By ICAR, Gangtok)

Replenishment of nutrients is very essential for sustained good yield and to compensate the nutrient loss from the soil.
Application of well-decomposed cattle manure/compost or organic products @ 5 kg/plant at least twice a year in
April-May and August-September is beneficial. Vermicompost, having favourable impact on soil physical properties
and good source of nutrients, particularly in the beds is gradually becoming popular organic manure and may be
applied @ 1 kg/clump in two equal doses in combination with FYM (Reza, S. K. 2014. Pers. Communication).
