Response of Cedrus deodara to NPK fertilizers

ABSTRACT
N, P and K fertilizer studies on Cedrus deodara (deodar)
of different ages were under taken at different planting
sites in Azad Kashmir during 1979. The effect alone or
in combinations, measured for diameter and height growth
and Foliar nutrient composition was recorded during
1979-82. At Sharda, the analysis of height measurements
recorded in 1981 gave a significant response to NPK
combined treatment whereas over all diameter and height
growth from 1979--82was not affected. Also the diameter
and height measurement recorded at Authmuqam during
1981and 1982 did not show any significant response to
the application of fertilizers. However the height
increments for the period 1979-82 were found
significantly affected by NPK combined treatments due to
cumulative effect over the past three years. Moreover
the foliar N content increased significantly at both the
sites.
