Nutrient transformations in soil amended with rock phosphate enriched composts for improving productivity of wheat-green gram sequence
2017
The present study focuses on the transformations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) in soil amended with rock phosphate (RP) enriched composts prepared using different crop residues under wheat-green gram sequence. Data emanated from the field study revealed that significant buildup in available pools of potassium permanganate (KMnO ₄-N), Olsen-P, and calcium chloride (CaCl ₂-S) as well as different fractions of N, P, and S were maintained higher under RP enriched composts treated plot than control. The total N, P, and S varied from 979 to 1776, 604 to 1165, and 273 to 464 kg ha ⁻¹, respectively in different treatments. The yield of wheat and green gram was significantly correlated with different fractions of N, P, and S in soil. Results conclude that RP enriched compost could be an alternative and cost-effective option for mitigating the shortage of chemical fertilizers for crop production.
