Effect of graded saturation of p-fixing capacity of two different soil types on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at two different locations, (i) Agronomy farm, B.A.C.A, AAU, Anand and (ii) Tribal Cum Training Research Centre, AAU, Devgadh Baria, Dist. Dahod (Gujarat) to find out the “Effect of graded saturation of P-fixing capacity of two different soil types on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” during the rabi season of the year, 2016-17. The treatment containing application of 100% P-fixing capacity of soil + 50 kg FeSO4 ha-1 + 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 + 60 kg K2O ha-1 along with RDF kg ha-1 recorded significantly higher growth attributes like plant as well as yield attribute like number of grain per spikes and grain and straw yield of wheat at both the location.
