Abstract

In calcareous soils, wheat productivity is much lower due to improper nutrient management, especially phosphorus (P). Therefore, this study was conducted to manage P availability from various organic (Control, FYM and Sugar cane straw applied at the rate of 10 ton ha −1 ) and inorganic (Control, 100% rock phosphate (RP), 50% acidulated RP, 100% acidulated RP, single super phosphate (SSP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP)) sources applied at the rate of 90 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1 in calcareous soil while using wheat as test crop. When averaged across the organic sources, SSP performed better in emergence m −2 (126), tillers m −2 (431), spikes m −2 (419), grains spikes −1 (61), plant height (95.1 cm), 1000-GW (40 g), biological yield (11,023 kg ha −1 ), grain yield (4022 kg ha −1 ), phosphorus use efficiency (10.5%), phosphorus in leaves at tillering (2.63 mg kg −1 ) and anthesis stage (2.50 mg kg −1 ), soil P at heading (1.73 mg kg −1 ) and post-harvest stage (1.56 mg kg −1 ) compared to the rest of the mineral sources. Similarly, among the organic sources, FYM performed better than others for all tested traits. Integration of inorganic P sources with organic manures further improved crop performance and post-harvest soil P content. Therefore, using 10 tons FYM ha −1 in integration to SSP or 100% acidulated RP at the rate of 90 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1 is recommended for ensuring optimum wheat productivity under calcareous soils.
