Summary, etc. Three field experiments were conducted at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 1992-'93 for two season to study the effect of chemical and bio-agents on phosphorus dynamics in the red loam soils of Southern Kerala.
In the experiment No.1 four treatments such as no anions, hydroxide, carbonate and silicate were tested under three levels of phosphorus such as no phosphorus, 50% phosphorus and 100% phosphorus. From the study, it was revealed that carbonates have more desorbing power for phosphorus than the other anions tested. These were reflected in the yield and yield attributes, available phosphorus content of the soil, soil phosphorus fractions, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of plants. Among the combinations, carbonate anion with 50% phosphorus gave the highest yield.
In the experiment No.2, three treatments such as no chelates, EDTA and DTPA were tested with three levels of phosphorus such as no phosphorus, 50 % phosphorus and 100% phosphorus. From the study it has been revealed that EDTA gave better response than other chelates tested. These were reflected in the yield, yield attributes, available phosphorus content of the soil, soil phosphorus fraction, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of plants. Among the combinations EDTA with 50% phosphorus gave the highest yield.
In the experiment No.3, four levels of microbial agents such as no microbes, VAM, PB and VAM + PB were tested with three levels of phosphorus such as no phosphorus. 50% phosphorus and 100% phosphorus. From the study it has been revealed that VAM + PB gave the highest response. This was reflected in the yield attributes, available phosphorus content of the soil, soil phosphorus fractions, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of plants. Among the combinations VAM+PB with 50% phosphorus gave the highest yield.
