“…The decrease in fresh weight yield for third cut may be due to the reduction in nutrients supply and to the gradual decrease in availability of remaining portions. This view point is in agreement with Nassar et al (2000) and Mali et al (2017).…”

A pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse condition at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University. The experiment aimed to study the effect of two phosphate fertilizers i.e., ordinary super phosphate (OSP) and rock phosphate (RP) combined with or without perlite under different soil moisture levels (80, 65 and 50% of saturation point) on sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare var. sudanense) plant as well as available P behavior through the investigated calcareous soil. Soil samples were taken from the surface layers (0-30 cm) from El-Noubaria Research Station, El-Noubraria District, Egypt. Results showed that the application of various phosphorus source i.e. OSP or RP as individual application or combined with perlite under different soil moisture levels increased fresh weight, dry matter and phosphorus uptake of sudan grass compared to untreated soil. The highest value of each of fresh and dry weight, P-uptake and available P was found in calcareous soil treated with OSP combined with perlite under 80% moisture level, while the lowest ones were obtained with untreated soils under 50% moisture level in absence of perlite. Application of OSP showed greater values of fresh weight, dry matter and P-uptake by sudan grass plants than RP. The promotive effect of different soil moisture levels on available phosphorus after three cuts in the two layers follows the descending order: 80>65> 50% under the application of ordinary super phosphate or rock phosphate in presence of perlite. Treatments under OSP gave higher values of available phosphorus after cutting than those under RP. These increases represented as much as 9.2, 8.8 and 29% after the first, second and third cuts, respectively in the first layer (0-5cm) as well as 10.1, 8.6 and 23.4%, respectively in the second layer (5-10 cm). Available P were higher in the first layer (0-5 cm) than in the second one (5-10 cm) after all cuts under different treatments.

“…Growth parameters and soil available P increased with the increase of P application (Johnston et al, 2016 ;Mali et al, 2017) who revealed that application of various sources and levels of phosphorus with vermiculture significantly increased grain, stover and biological yields of maize and nutrient uptake.…”

“…It is evident form significant correlation between dry matter accumulation and uptake of nutrients. The results obtained in the present investigation are in close conformity with those of Biswas (2011) and Mali et al (2017). The increase in content of Zn with application of phospho enriched compost might be due to increased availability of native micronutrient cations.…”

“…The results corroborate the findings of Meena (2017), attributing the effect of PEC to the release of P from rock phosphate (RP) during decomposition and partially the additive effect of organics. The inter relationship between yields attributes and its seed and stover yield had also been observed by Mali et al (2017), Meena (2017) and Sharma et al (2018). The seed and stover yield was increased significantly up to zinc @ 4 kg ha -1 and remained at par with 6 kg Zn ha -1 .…”

Background: Phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) are essential plant nutrients and their deficiency in soils has the adverse effect on the crop productivity, moreover the antagonistic effect of P on Zn is also important study aspect. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to study the effect of phospho enriched compost and zinc on productivity, nutrient content and uptake of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) in Sub-humid Southern Hills and Aravalli region of Rajasthan. Methods: The experiment was undertaken during Kharif 2018 at Rajasthan College of agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan). The treatments comprised of four levels of phospho enriched compost (PEC) i.e. control, PEC @ 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 t ha-1 and four levels of zinc i.e. control, Zn @ 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications.Result: The increasing levels of phospho enriched compost and zinc upto 4 t ha-1 and 4 kg ha-1, respectively increased significantly (P=0.05) the number of nodules per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, seed yield, stover yield, nutrient content (N, K and Zn) and uptake (N, P, K and Zn) in seed and stover of blackgram. Whereas, the application of zinc significantly decreased the phosphorus content in seed and stover as compared to control. However, the combined application of phospho enriched compost @ 6 t ha-1 along with zinc @ 6 kg ha-1 was found to record higher seed and stover yield. The application of phospho enriched compost @ 4 t ha-1 and zinc @ 4 kg ha-1 along with the recommended dose of fertilizer results in significantly higher productivity, nutrient content and uptake of blackgram under Typic Haplustepts soil.

“…The availability of carbon material and substrates such as sugar, amino acids and organic acids in the soil from the decomposing organic material and decay of roots under the plant canopy are important for supplying energy for microbial population (Bowen and Rovira 1991). The increased microorganism population might be due to addition of organic carbon in the form of phospho-enriched compost turn provides adequate biomass as nourish for the microbes and helps in increasing microbial population in soil (Mali et al 2017).The amount of adsorbed soil microbial population has generally been attributed to increased microbial biomass resulting from organic matter enrichment in the soil (Dsouza et al 2018).…”

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the impacts of phospho-enriched compost and fertility levels on soil biological properties in Typic Haplustepts soil of Sub-humid Southern Plain and Aravalli Hills Region in Rajasthan. The experiment was undertaken during kharif 2018 and 2019 at Instructional Farm (Agronomy), Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan). The treatments comprised four levels of phospho-enriched compost (PEC), i.e. control, PEC @ 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 t/ha and four levels of fertility (kg/ha) i.e. control, 50% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5%, 75% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5% and 100% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5%, respectively. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. Significant improvement in different soil biological properties, i.e. alkaline phosphate activity, dehydrogenase activity and soil microbial biomass carbon was observed with increasing levels of phospho-enriched compost and fertility up to 6 t/ ha and 100% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5%, respectively after harvest of the maize (Zea mays L.) crop during both the years as well as in pooled analysis. In case of fertility levels, however, the microbial populations in soil after harvest of crop increase was significant up to 75% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5% which was found statistically at par with 100% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5%. The application of phospho-enriched compost @ 6 t/ha and 100% RDF + foliar spray of Zn @ 0.5% along with the recommended dose of fertilizer results in significantly higher biological properties of soil under Typic Haplustepts.
