ABSTRACT
Field experiments were conducted during 2004 and 2005 at Regional Sugarcane Research Station Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Results revealed that application of organic source of phosphorus i.e. pressmud biocompost to kharif rice crop improved the yield attributes (number of effective tillers hill-1, number of panicles m-1 area and number of filled grain panicle-1) and grain yield of rice as compared to control (no phosphorus) and inorganic source of phosphorus (single super phosphate). However, the differences were non-significant for inorganic source of phosphorus.
Key words :
Biocompost, Phosphorus, Pressmud, Rice, Yield.
