Abstract

The effect of application of lime, FYM and P fertilizer source individually and in combination was studied in an acid Alfisolon grain yield and uptake of Ca and Mg by wheat(S-308). An application of 8 tons FYM and 90.25 kg ha-1 P2O5 considered as optimum. gave 38.70 q ha−1 of grain yield with a profit of Rs.4692/ha−1. The uptake of Ca and Mg increased by the application of FYM apartfrom the application of P.
