Growth Attributes of Finger Millet as Influenced by Different Levels and Methods of Phosphorus Application

Abstract

In a field experiment, the influence of P fertilization on the growth attributes of two cv. of ragi was studied in a calcareous clay loam. Phosphorus application has significantly increased the plant hoight, panicle number, number of functional leaves and nodes, length of panicle. number of fingers in car, test grain, weight and grain yield. Among the four methods of phosphorus application tried, band application was found! to be superior. Simple correlations were worked out between the grain yield and its attributes viz., plant height. number of leaves, test weight of grain and strav: yield and found to be positively correlated.
