Abstract
The field experiment entitled “Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth, yield and quality of Dill (Anethum sowa Roxb)” was conducted at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, S.K. Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during rabi seasons of 2006-07 and 2007-08. The soil of the experimental field was loamy sand in nature containing available 106.3 kg N, 16.15 kg P2O5, 170.35 kg K2O ha-1 in 0-30 cm soil depth with pH 8.36 and 0.14 per cent organic carbon content. The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD design with 4 replications, assigning 20 combinations of 5 levels of nitrogen (control, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg N ha-1) and 4 levels of phosphorus (control, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1). The dill variety NRCSS-AD-2 was sown on 14.10.2006 and 20.10.2007, maintaining 30 cm row to row and 15 cm plant to plant distance.
