Abstract

Graded levels of N and nitrification inhibitors were tried to increase nutrient uptake and growth of containerized Rosewood plants. Application of 2 g N per seedling in the form of Neem cake coated urea significantly increased the concentration and uptake of nutrients (N, P and K) compared to other treatments. Further increase in N levels to 3 g N per seedling decreased the concentration and uptake of nutrients. Increased nutrient concentration and uptake due to application of 2 g N per plant in the form of Neem coated urea reflected in enhanced growth attributes of plants.
