Author(s): B Ashok Kumar, U thapa and Rajib Das
Abstract: The experiment was carried out under polyhouse conditions in plains of West Bengal during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to standardize vegetable based cropping sequence under integrated nutrient management system. It is concluded that crop nutrients mandatory to apply in the form rational integration of fertilizers and organic manures to obtain monetary margins from cultivation with reference to soil health. The integration of 50% recommended doses through fertilizers and poultry manure @ 1.00 kg sq m-1 gave the best result with respect to maintain intact soil health. However, application of FYM @ 2.50 kg sq m-1 or vermicompost @ 1.00 kg sq m-1 instead of poultry manure also can be recommended in this regard. It can be summarize that cropping sequence of Tomato-Palak-Cucumber and Palak-Early cauliflower-Capsicum Sequence with L2 (Application of 50% recommended doses of fertilizer + Poultry manure @ 1.00 kg sq m-1) type of nutrient management best suited under protected conditions.
