Comparative effectiveness of rock phosphate and triple superphosphate at the rate of 40 and 80 lb P2O5/acre (44.8 and 89.6 kg/ha) on the growth and yield of tea was assessed. A basal dose of N 80 lb/acre (89.6 kg N/ha) from sulphate of ammonia and of K 60 lb/acre (67.2 kg K2O/ha) from muriate of potash were applied. Preliminary observation indicated that 80 lb P2O5/acre (89.6 kg P2O5/ha) from rock phosphate produced the highest yield. The economic use of rock phosphate as a suitable fertilizer in strongly acidic tea soil has been ascertained.
