Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Snake gourd (Trichosanthes anguina L.) In Lateritic Soils of Konkan” laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising eleven treatment combinations replicated thrice, at Vegetable Improvement Scheme, Central Experiment Station, Wakawali, Dr. B.S.K.K.V., Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during the kharif season of 2016. The effect of integrated nutrient management including vermicompost and poultry manure either alone or in combinations with inorganic fertilizers on fruit yield, and nutrient content of snake gourd were studied. The application of 50% N through poultry manure + 50% N through inorganic fertilizers T₆ significantly influenced the growth parameters, fruit yield and total nutrient status viz. N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S. The build-up of fruit quality, the application of 50% N through poultry manure + 50% N through inorganic fertilizer was found to be suitable for snake gourd in lateritic soil of Konkan.
