Abstract

Effects of N, P, K and Ca applied separately and in combinations on growth and yields of several crops grown in different yr during 1959-62 on upland lateritic soils (pH 5.1-5.7) in West Bengal are described. The 3-yr average fresh matter yields of Crotalaria juncea grown for green manuring were 1.97, 1.43, 4.75, 6.18 and 6.71 t/ha with Ca, N, P, P + Ca and N + P + Ca, resp., compared with 1.27 t without NPCa. Application of 40 kg N or 20 kg P2O5/ha or NP to rice in 1960 gave paddy yields of 0.98, 0.8 and 1.79 t/ha, resp., compared with 0.68 t without NP. Grain yields of 0.28 t/ha without Ca and 0.43 t with Ca in Paspalum scrobiculatum given no NP were increased to 0.96 and 1.12 t, resp., with NP. Seed yields of 363 kg/ha without Ca and 497 kg with Ca in Hibiscus cannabinus given no NP were increased to 645 and 664 kg, resp., with NP; fibre yields of 517 kg/ha without NPK were increased to 1.06 t with 18 kg N + 36 kg P2O5 + 27 kg K2O/ha. Seed yields of 42 kg/ha without Ca and 49 kg with Ca in Dolichos biflorus [Macrotyloma uniflorum] given no NP were increased to 89 and 88 kg, resp., with N, 556 and 897 kg with P and 1.05 and 1.43 t with N + P. Seed yields of 19 kg/ha without Ca and 36 kg with Ca in niger [Guizotia abyssinica] given no NPK were increased to 150 and 466 kg, resp., with NPK

8 of 9 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.
