Description An understanding of P efficiencies of finger millet is very important
in soil management and selection of varieties adaptable to
P-deficient soils. Therefore, on-station experiments were conducted
at the ICRISAT-Kiboko research station to evaluate the
effect of differential levels of P on nitrogen uptake, nutrient content
and yield. There were four P levels (0, 12.5, 25 and 37.5 kg
ha-1 P2O5) and three varieties (U-15, P-224 and Ekalakala). Ekalakala
was the local check while 0 kg/ha P2O5 was the control. The
trial was laid out in a randomized complete block design in factorial
arrangement with three replicates. Soil analytical results
showed moderately available P but very low N, organic carbon
and zinc. Significant differences (P
