Fertilizers are one of the costly inputs but continue to exert significant contribution to
produce additional food grains. To realize maximum benefits and reduce nutrient losses
from fertilizers, they must be applied in the right quantity, source and combination at the
right time using the right method. An investigation on requirement of P for finger millet
and maize in EDZ of Karnataka was taken at UAS, Bangalore. Response of finger millet
and maize to graded levels of P was studied in the field by creating five phosphorus
fertility gradients viz., P0 (Very low), P1 (Low), P2 (Medium), P3 (High) and P4 (Very high) (< 15: 16-30: 31-45: 46-60: > 60 kg P2O5 ha-1, respectively). Results revealed that,
application of 125% RDP with rec. NK&FYM recorded higher finger millet (31.66 and
55.32 q ha-1 grain and straw, respectively) and maize (78.26 q ha-1 grain) yield in high P
strip. Grain yield and harvest index of cropping system as a whole improved significantly
in FYM supplied plots. Phosphorus use efficiency in maize was higher than finger millet.
The higher use efficiency was recorded in very low gradient strip. Higher PUE among
treatments was obtained when P was applied at the rate of 75 % of recommended dose
along with rec. N&K. Application of 75 % rec. P + rec. N&K recorded higher B: C ratio in
both the crops and was the best and optimum P prescription for these crops as the P use efficiency was also higher.
