Abstract


Field experiment was conducted with treatment shedule included four levels of N, three levels of P2Os, combination of two levels on N and P2O5 as a inorganic source and four levels of FYM as organic source applied through soil in rabi season. The results indicated that the incorporation of FYM at 40, 30, 20 cart loads/ha were found effective in minimising the incidence of root rot and increasing the grain yield of safflower. Application of nitrogen in combination with phosphorus at optimum doses of 50 N + 25 P20s and 25 N + 12.5 P20s kg/ha also were found effective in reducing the root rot and thereby increasing the grain yield. However, when these inorganic amendments applied singly were found ineffective.
