Effect of Stylo (Stylosanthes Hamata) Based Horti–Pastoral System on Soil Nutrients Dynamics

M. Parimala Kumar, B. Joseph

Abstract :

An experiment was carried out during kharif and rabi 2010-2011 at the Student’s Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad on red sandy loam soils to study the nutrient dynamics of stylo in guava based horti-pastoral system. The Farm is geographically situated at an altitude of 542.3 m above mean sea level at 170 19\' N latitude and 780 28\' E longitude and falls under the Southern Telangana Agro-climatic Zone of Andhra Pradesh. The experiment laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and the treatment consists of three different scarification treatments viz., overnight soaked seeds, mudball technique seeds and hot water treated seeds (80-85oC for 3-5 min) and biofertilizers like Trichoderma enriched FYM @ 5 tonnes ha-1 and Rhizobium application @ 1 Kg/5 Kg seed along with normal dry seed for sole stylo application and their combination consisting of 12 treatments. Among the various treatments line sowing of hot water treated with Trichoderma enriched FYM as intercrop with guava (T11) has significantly recorded highest N, P and K uptake and contributed higher available nutrients in the soil as it was compared from initial nutrient status of the soil.
