- Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of phosphorus enriched biocompost on nutrient use efficiency, growth and yield of finger millet. Biocompost was enriched with RP-PSB as well as SSP fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with nine treatments and three replications. The results of the field experiment revealed that application of 100 per cent NPK + RP-PSB enriched biocompost @ 10 t ha-1 significantly increased the plant growth, grain and straw yield (3752 and 6386 kg ha-1 respectively) of finger millet and other yield attributes like number of fingers per ear head and test weight. Whereas application of 100 per cent NPK + SSP enriched biocompost at 10 t ha-1 is beneficial in obtaining higher income per rupee invested (B:C ratio: 2.46).
