Abstract

In a field experiment, the phosphatic fertilizers, applied in conjuction with FYM and pressmud increased pod and haulm yield of groundnut, total P uptake and available soil P after harvest of the crop. Combined application of P and organic amendments showed higher beneficial effects. Application of pressmud @ 5.0 t ha-1 + P @ 22 kg ha-1 proved superior for all the parameters.
