Abstract:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) belongs to family Poaceae and is extensively grown in China and India. In order to study the effect of integrated phosphorus management on macronutrients availability and uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under rained conditions of temperate Kashmir, the present investigation was undertaken. The highest nutrient content (2.52, 0.31 and 2.86% N, P and K respectively) of wheat was obtained with the application of 80% Recommended Dose of Phosphorus (RDP) + 0.3 t vermicompost (V.C) ha^-1 + Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) through seed application + PSB through soil application (T₆). However, the highest N, P and K uptake (125.87, 19.46 and 147.00 kg ha-1) of wheat was obtained with the application of 80 percent P through RDP + 0.3 tan V.C ha^-1 + PSB through seed + PSB through soil (T₆).
