Fertilizer Value of Rock Phosphate as Influenced by Incubating With FYM and P-Solubilizers
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Mussorie rock phosphate in an incubation study for 60 days was evaluated for extractable (Olsen’s) P release on sandy loam soil with a slightly alkaline reaction using different PSM’s with and without FYM. Treated soil was incubated at a temperature of 28±2° C maintaining water holding capacity at 50%. Soil samples were drawn at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days. Olsen’s P increased substantially up to 45 days and at 60 days of incubation there was a decrease in the extractable P and this decrease in the FYM treated soil was low. Among the different PSM’s the A. awamori irrespective of the application of FYM maintained higher extractable P during the whole incubation period than P. straina or B. polymyxa.
