Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on uptake at different stages and harvest stages of Dill (Anethum sowa Roxb)

Two year experiment was conducted to find out the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on quality parameters of dill (Anethum sowa Roxb). The crop planted during rabi 2006–07 and 2007–08. The nitrogen application upto 90 kg ha⁻¹ significantly increased the nitrogen uptake at different growth stages(45,75,105 DAS)seed and stover at harvest stages where it was found increase upto 120 kg ha⁻¹ whereas, phosphorus uptake by dill crop at various crop growth stages upto 40 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ over the just preceding level of phosphorus during both the years of study separately as well as in the pooled analysis but phosphorus uptake in seed significiantly improved upto 60 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹
