Effect of Press Mud Application on Nutrient Uptake by Ragi

Abstract

A Neubauer study was carried out with four soils incubated with press mud at 0, 5 and 10 t/ha for 60 days. Ragi (CO 10) seedlings were raised for a period of 17 days. The germination per cent, mean root and shoot length. dry matter yield and uptake of nutrients were studied. Press mud application significantly reduced the germination of ragi seeds, but the growth of seedlings was better in the treated soil than in control. The uptake of N. P and K was not influenced by the treatments, but press mud application at 5 t/ha increased Ca uptake over control.
