Both the growth and the yield of C. asiatica were significantly
improved with conjunctive use of CT and inorganic fertiliser
(T6=CT50 +NPK50) applied at 50% of the recommended concentration

interaction between the 50% recommended concentration of CT
and 50% NPK applied together as compared to their respective full
concentrations applied separately (T2 and T4).
