Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during
Rabi, 2016 to study the performance of safflower crop in problem soils with different agronomic management practices at Alakapuram village farmer’s field. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design on sandy clay loam soil with four replications. The treatments consisted of gypsum application, FYM + gypsum application, gypsum application + 25% extra recommended dose of nitrogen fertilizer and FYM + gypsum application+ 25% extra recommended dose of nitrogen fertilizer with control
i.e Farmers practice. The results indicated that significantly the lowest pH (8.0), electrical conductivity and the highest seed (436 kg ha
-1) and biological yield (1977 kg ha
-1) was recorded with gypsum + FYM + 25% extra nitrogen treatment when compared to farmers.
