| Summary: | Two experiments, one ln the field and the other
in polybags, were conducted at the MARDI research
Station Serdang, to study the effects of four levels of lime and four levels of phosphorus, in factorial
combination, on growth, yield and nutrient concentration
of papaya cv. Eksotika on a Munchong soil (Tropeptic
Hapludox). A randomized complete block design, with two
replication sin the field and five in polybags, were
used for both the experiments. Uniform seedlings were
selected and planted in both trials.
For the field experiment, plant height, stem girth
and canopy diameter were taken at two month in tervals, soil pH at four month intervals while yield data were
recorded from first fruiting until the plants were 1.5
years old. Nutrient concentration was determined on the
leaf petiole. The same growth parameters and soil pH
were taken at two weekly intervals up to a period of
five months from plants in the polybag experiment. |
