Impact of foliar spray of nutrients and seed treatment on uptake of phosphorus of plant and seed of lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus L.) Under relay cropping system

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm of IGKV, Raipur, during the Rabi season of 2016. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with twelve treatments replicated thrice. As respect to phosphorus uptake significantly maximum phosphorus uptake in seeds (3.6) and stover (4.9) as well as total (8.5) were recorded with the F5: 0.5% NPK (19:19:19) spray at branching and 15 days after 1st spray as compared to other foliar nutrient sprays and among seed treatment S2: Seed treatment with Sodium molybdate @ 0.5 g kg-1 seed recorded significantly maximum phosphorus uptake in seeds (3.2) and stover (4.4) as well as total (7.6).
