The status of soil nutrients and crop productivity of sorghum in sorghum- safflower cropping system under various tillage and organic amendment treatment was studied. In general, yield of sorghum was increased due to tillage with tractor plough, amending the soil with the help of press mud compost followed by pulverization with rotavation. The status of organic carbon and availability of N, P and K was also increased due to tillage with tractor plough, amending the soil with the help of press mud compost followed by pulverization with rotavation.

Abstract


The status of soil nutrients and crop productivity of sorghum in sorghum- safflower cropping system under various tillage and organic amendment treatment was studied. In general, yield of sorghum was increased due to tillage with tractor plough, amending the soil with the help of press mud compost followed by pulverization with rotavation. The status of organic carbon and availability of N, P and K was also increased due to tillage with tractor plough, amending the soil with the help of press mud compost followed by pulverization with rotavation.
