A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the influence of FYM, compost and rock phosphate with PSB on soil nutrient balance under organic cultivation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in vertisol at Agricultural Research Station, Annigeri, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka during Rabi season of 2009-10 and 20010-11. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. There were nine treatment combinations consisting of two organic manures viz., compost and FYM with four levels of rock phosphate(50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and an absolute control treatment for comparison. Soil nutrient balances were worked for major nutrients (NPK) taking the initial soil status, nutrient addition, crop uptake and nutrient left in the soil after harvest. The higher negative N balance was recorded with organic manures applied with higher level of rock phosphate and minimum negative nutrient balance was recorded with absolute control.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the influence of FYM, compost and rock phosphate with PSB on soil nutrient balance under organic cultivation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in vertisol at Agricultural Research Station, Annigeri, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka during Rabi season of 2009-10 and 20010-11. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. There were nine treatment combinations consisting of two organic manures viz., compost and FYM with four levels of rock phosphate(50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and an absolute control treatment for comparison. Soil nutrient balances were worked for major nutrients (NPK) taking the initial soil status, nutrient addition, crop uptake and nutrient left in the soil after harvest. The higher negative N balance was recorded with organic manures applied with higher level of rock phosphate and minimum negative nutrient balance was recorded with absolute control.
