T. Bharath, K. Madhavi
Abstract :
A field experiment entitled “Effect of top dressing and foliar application of organic nutrient sources on
growth and yield of sorghum” was conducted during kharif, 2012 at Student farm, College of Agricuture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Southern Telangana climatic Zone of Andhra Pradesh. The soil of experimental site
was sandy clay loam with pH of 7.9, electrical conductivity 0.96 dSm–1, low in organic carbon (0.69%), low in available
nitrogen (221 kg ha–1) and high in phosphorus (86 kg ha–1) and high in potassium (446 kg ha–1). The experiment was
laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications. The results of the experiment indicated significant influence of organic nutrient management on nutrient uptakes. The Nutrient uptake (N, P and K) by
crop at 60 days to harvest stages was higher with application of foliar spray of fulvic acid @ 1% (T8) on par with top
dressing of vermicompost @ 5 t ha–1(T2).
