Agricultural Science Digest article published in Volume 33 Issue 4 (December 2013):- SOIL PHOSPHORUS FRACTIONS IN A TYPIC HAPLUSTEPT AS INFLUENCED BY ORGANIC SOURCES AFTER SOYABEAN (GLYCINE MAX L.) – WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CROPPING SEQUENCE IN SEMI ARID CONDITION* Anil Kumar, Neeraj Kumar, S.K. Singhal, Vinay Singh1 and V. K. Sharma Division of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi-110 012, Indian Received: 02-05-2012 Accepted: 04-10-2012 ABSTRACT Rock phosphate enriched biogas slurry, pressmud and farm yard manure alone and in combination with DAP in different ratios (1:3, 1:1 and 3:1) were evaluated in field with soybean-wheat cropping sequence at the IARI, New Delhi on a sandy loam soil. Soil samples (0-15 cm) after the harvest of wheat were taken to examine the residual effect of various treatments on available, inorganic and organic P pools in soil. Application of manure showed significant increase in available P over control. Among the fractions of phosphorus Fe-P, Ca-P and organic P fractions in soil remained almost unaltered while Saloid-P and Al-P fractions were increased in comparison to their initial concentration noted before sourcing the soybean. The extent of increase was more at higher rates of P application to soybean. Application of rock phosphate enriched biogas slurry in the ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 of DAP and manure on P2O5 basis gave the highest increase in the P fractions of soil. Therefore, a change in different inorganic and organic P fraction in soil can be influenced by the manipulation of sources and levels of phosphorus. Key words: Biogas slurry, Fractions, FYM, Phosphorus, Pressmud, Rock phosphate. Source: arccjournals/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=647&Itemid=301
