Abstract

A field experiment conducted in black soil area at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University farm. Coimbatore with Co. 7 ragi as test crop revealed that application of nitrogenous fertilizer significantly increased the N uptake at various stages of crop growth. Phosphorus application influenced the uptake of N at tillering (25th day after transplanting) and flowering (50th day after transplanting) stages of ragi growth. The application of K had no effect on the N uptake by ragi crop.
