Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to determine the impact of Phosphorus and Zinc on soil nutrient status following green gram crop cultivation. The experiment was analyzed under a Randomized Block Design consisting of nine treatments replicated thrice with three different levels of Phosphorus and Zinc (0% P, 50% P, 100% P, and 0% Zn, 50% Zn, 100% Zn) respectively. The results showed that increasing application of Phosphorus and Zinc enhanced Db (Mg m^-3), Pore space (percent), Organic Carbon (percent), Available Nitrogen (kg ha^-1), Available Phosphorus (kg ha^-1), Available Potassium (kg ha^-1), and Available Zinc (mg kg^-1). On the other hand, DP (Mg m^-3), pH of the soil, EC (dS m^-1), and Water retaining capacity (%) decreased It was discovered that Db (Mg m^-3), Dp (Mg m^-3), pH of the soil, and Pore space decrease in depth. Also, reduction in depth increased Water retaining capacity (%), EC (dS m^-1), OC (%), Available Nitrogen (kg ha^-1), Available Phosphorus (kg ha^-1), Available Potassium (kg ha^-1), and Available Zinc (mg kg^-1)
