Abstract

To study the nitrogen fertilizer effect on growth and morphological traits in Myrica esculenta, a pot experiment was conducted under nursery conditions with four different nitrogen fertilizer doses i.e. 0, 20, 40, 80 kg/ha. Maximum plant height, collar diameter, number of leaves and root per plant together with root length were observed in 20 kg N/ha treatment. However, leaf, stem, root biomass produced per plant was higher in 80 kg N/ha as compared to other treatments. On seasonal analysis basis growth and biomass values were observed significantly different as compared to treatments effect and interaction between season x treatments. However, in case of root shoot ratio higher values were recorded in summer followed by winter and summer season. The seasons, treatments and their interactions i.e., seasons x treatments were observed significantly different with each other.
