Effect of Hydrogel on Water and Nutrient Management of Citrus limon
- S. K. Pattanaaik; Barun Singh; L. Wangchu; P. Debnath; B. N. Hazarika; A. K. Pandey
- The hydrogel is a soil conditioner able to retain water and plant nutrients. Hydrogel is commercially available as Stockosorb/Raindrop/Agrosorb. Stockosorb releases water and nutrient to the plants, when surrounding soil near root zone of plants starts to dry up. Soils of Arunachal Pradesh are eroded, well drained and gravely in nature. The soils vary from sandy loam to loamy sand with acidic in reaction with varying N: P: K status. The cultivated lands of state occur mostly in the hill slopes which are less water retentive. Horticulture is usually practiced as a remunerative profession in the state. Citrus is the most important crop among the horticultural crops grown in the state. Planting of citrus on steep hill slopes and lack of supplementary irrigation and application of nutrients, cause gradual decrease in their productivity. A study was carried out at the research farm of the College of Horticulture and Forestry located at Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh to evaluate the effect of stockosorb on the growth and yield of Assam lemon (Citrus limon). The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with six treatments and five replications. The treatments were T1= 25gms of stockosorb, T2=50gms of stockosorb, T3=75gms of stockosorb, T4=100gms of stockosorb, T5=120gms of stockosorb and T6=Control i.e. zero amount of stockosorb applied during December, 2012 along with application of recommended doses of N: P: K i.e. 900gm, 250gm and 500gm, respectively to each plant after the application of stockosorb. Among all the treatments, T4 was found to be the best with respect to yield which was significantly higher than other treatments. The application of stockosorb under treatment T4 increased the water holding capacity of the soil from 28.74 per cent to 34.63 per cent. The increasing yield may be due to the fact that the soil was wet for a longer time increasing the microbial activity as well as reducing the fruit drop due to water stress. With respect to growth of the tree, an appreciable increase in the growth of the tree in all the treatments was observed as compared to control. It was also observed that stockosorb was able to retain available water for the plant up to fifteen days after irrigation.
