Abstract


Influence of Mussorie rockphosphate (MRP) at 50 kg P2O5 ha-1, three organic amendments (with or without phosphate solubilizing bacterium (PSB-Pseudomonas striata) and fungs (PSF-Aspergillus awamori) on nodulation, nitrogen and dry matter accumulation and pod yield of groundnut (Dh-3-30) was studied. Significant increase in nodule number and weight per plant, nitrogen and dry matter accumulation in groundnut plant was observed in treatment receiving combination of organic amendments and P-solubilizers plus MRP. The pod yield was also superior in these treatments.
