Response of cashew to nutrient application in laterite soil

Abstract

The response of cashew grown in laterite soil to long term application of nutrients at different levels was studied in terms of yield attributing characters and yield. The quadratic response in yield observed with increasing levels of individual primary nutrients necessitated the estimation of optimum economic dose and were worked out to be 748 g N, 329 g P,O5 and 765 g K,O per tree per year.
