Effect of conjunctive use of phosphorus and bio organics on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 2000 and 2001, to study the effect of conjunctive use of phosphorus and bio organics on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Application of 60 kg P,O,/ha markedly influenced the growth and yield attributes resulting in significant increase of pod yield by 14.01% over the control. Seed inoculation with Rhizobium or phosphorus solubilizing micro organism (PSM) marginally improved yield, but their combined use increased pod yield significantly. Both the organics, i.e. FYM and need cake, significantly in creased the pod and haulm yields, but when half quantity of these organics were integrated with Rhizobium and PSM, the highest pod yield of 31.80 qtha with FYM 5 tonnestha Rhizobium PSM was obtained. Neem cake 1.5 tonneslha in the presence of same biofertilizers was next to it.
