ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at S.K. Nagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during rabi 2010-11 on loamy sand soil to assess the agronomic feasibility of Udaipur rock phosphate (URP) sources (URP 31% and URP 34%), incubation methods (No incubation, Incubation with farmyard manure, Incubation with phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Incubation with farmyard manure + phosphate solubilizing bacteria) and farmyard manure (zero and ten tonnes ha-1) on Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The agronomic efficacy of the sources of URP 31% and 34% was not found significant in all the aspects. However, effect of incubation methods influenced the productivity and nutrient uptake by wheat crop. Application of farmyard manure @ 10 tonnes ha-1 also had direct significant effect in improving yield attributes, yields (grain, straw and biological), nutrient content in grain and straw and uptake by wheat crop. Application of P2O5 @ 40 and 60 kg ha-1 was found to be at par, while both the sources of P (i.e. Diammonium phosphate and Udaipur rock phosphate) were found equally effective. the sources of P (i.e. Diammonium phosphate and Udaipur rock phosphate) were found equally effective.
Key words :
FYM, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Triticum aestivum, Udaipur rock phosphate, Wheat.
