Abstract

Study on effect of different fertilizer applications on growth and yield of passion fruit in Buriram province was carried out at Buriram Agricultural Research and Development Center, Mueang district, Buriram province from December 2020 to November 2021. The objective of this project was to study on effect of different fertilizer applications on growth and yield of passion fruit. The experiment design was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications and 8 different fertilizer managements as treatments. The treatments consisted of 1) an application of fertilizers based on conventional practice of farmers (7-7-9 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai), 2) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-15-35 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, 3) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 23-15-35 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, 4) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 38-15-35 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, 5) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-11-35 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, 6) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-19-35 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, 7) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-15-26 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer, and 8) 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-15-44 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer. The result showed that different fertilizer applications (treatments 2-8) did not affect on fruit weight, pulp weight, peel weight, fruit diameter, TSS and ascorbic acid significantly but affect on peel thickness fruit number per plant and yield significantly. The application of 200 kg (dry)/rai compost supplemented with 30-15-44 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai chemical fertilizer illustrated the highest yield of passion fruit (9.83 kg/plant or 1,739 kg/rai).
