This factorial trial shows enhanced bulb yield in shallots with combined vermicompost and NPK fertiliser, suggesting improved nutrient management strategies.
Key Points
Significant synergistic effects of vermicompost and NPK fertiliser on shallots were observed.
The highest bulb weights resulted from the K3N3 treatment, combining 15,000 kg/ha of vermicompost with 750 kg/ha of NPK.
Soil chemical properties, including pH and nutrient levels, were improved by the treatments applied.
Integrated nutrient management strategies can sustainably enhance shallot productivity while benefiting soil health.
