Abstract

A field experiment was conducted from winter season 1997-98 to rainy season 1999 at Fatehpur-Shekhawati (Sikar), Rajasthan, to study the effect of residual phosphorus, sulphur and biofertilizers on productivity, economicsand nutrient content of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. Emend Stuntz] in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)-pearl millet cropping sequence. Increased application of P up to 35.0 kg/ha, increased the grain yield of fenugreek by 23.1 and 6.7% compared with the control and 17.5 kg P/ha respectively. Application of P (35.0 kg P/ha) in fenugreek increased the grain and stover yield of succeeding pearl millet by 33.3 and 39.0% over the control, respectively, and N and P content of pearl millet grain (7.1 and 59.1%) and stover (29.2 and 20.0%) over the control. However, this treatment could not significantly affect the S content. Residual sulphur (100 kg S/ha) significantly increased the grain (12.5%) and stover (10.6%) yield of pearl millet compared with the control. This treatment also significantly increased the sulphur content in pearl millet grain (13.3%) and stover (11.1%) over the control. Fenugreek seed inoculation with Rhizobium + phosphate-solubilizing bacteria increased the seed yield of fenugreek by 3.4% and stover yield of succeeding pearl millet by 3.9% over no-seed inoculation. Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and Rhizobium + phosphate-solubilizing bacteria significantly increased the N content of soil after harvest of fenugreek by 3.5 and 4.8% and after harvest of succeeding pearl millet by 0.3 and 4.1% compared with no-seed inoculation.

8 of 11 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
