Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on the phosphorus and plant population management in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) cropping system during 1994 95 in summer season on medium black soils at Pune, Maharashtra. An application of 75 kg P,O,/ha, with the treatment of P solubilizer to seeds before sowing and sowing the crop at 30 cm x 10 cm spacing with 330,000 plant populationlha significantly increased the a I growth, dry matter, yield attributes and yield of grounnut over rest of the . . treatments. However, a dose of 50 kg P,Odha with P solubilizer and sowing at the distance of 30 cm x 10 cm with 333,000 plant populationlha was found to be economical in groundnut. In the second trial as a catch crop and as a residual effect to test the fertility of soil, the green fenugreek yield (tonneslha) increased significantly due to application of 75 kg P,O,Iha given to previous crop over rest of the treatments.
