| Abstract: | The effect of different levels of nitrogen N0(0kg/ha), N1(30 kg/ha), N2 (60 kg/ha), and N3 (90 kg/ha) and farmyard manure F0 (0 tonnes/ha), F1 (10 tonnes/ha), and F2 (20 tonnes/ha) on the yield and nutrient composition of spinach and its uptake was investigated on a sandy loam soil. Yield; phosphorus, iron, manganese, zinc, and copper uptakes; and ascorbic acid content increased with the application of both the inorganic nitrogen fertilizer and the farmyard manure, with a maximum at the N3F2 level, i.e. at 90 kg N/ha with 20 tonnes FYM/ha. However, the contents of protein,  -carotene, and reducing sugars were maximum at the highest dose of nitrogen without the application of farmyard manure. |
