EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENTS ON PRE AND POST EMERGENCE OF ROOT ROT AND YIELD OF SAFFLOWER

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.
