Abstract

The effect of different mixed fertilizer on yield, quality and economic benefits in Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni had been studied in open field. The result showed that organic cultivation and the common had some remarkable difference in yield, quality, as well as the economic benefits. Leaf production of treatment that incorporating organic fertilizer with decomposed Stevia rebaudiana dregs lower than the one that incorporating organic fertilizer with inorganic fertilizer, yet higher than applying organic fertilizer only and inorganic fertilizer only; organic cultivation enable Stevia rebaudiana produced more Stevioside (STV) in leaf blade compared with common cultivation, especially in the content of Rebaudioside A (RA); and incorporating organic fertilizer with decomposed Stevia rebaudiana dregs led to a significantly higher economic benefit compared with others.
