Abstract : A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of year 2002-03 to find out the effects different source of phosphorus and integrated use of PROM (phosphorus rich organic matter) @ 75, 100 and 125 % of recommended dose of phosphorus, i.e., 30, 40 and 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 along with inoculation of PSB + Rhizobium, FYM @ 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1 applied only with 75% PROM, i.e., 30 kg P2O5 ha-1, 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 through DAP and SSP on growth character (plant height, dry matter accumulation, number and weights of nodules), yield parameters of Fenugreek and availability of phosphorus in soil after post harvest analysis of soil. The application of P2O5 up to 50 kg ha-1 through PROM @ 125% + PSB + Rhizobium with recommended dose of significantly increased plant growth character, yield and available phosphorus after harvesting of Fenugreek but it was at par with PROM @ 100% P2O5 of recommended dose + PSB +Rhizobium, PROM @ 75% P2O5 of recommended dose + FYM @ 6 t ha-1, recommended dose of P through DAP and recommended dose of P through SSP as compared to remaining treatments.
Keyword: Fenugreek, acidulated rock phosphate, FYM, bio-fertilizer, growth, yield and available phosphorus.
