The use of microbe plus to improve phosphorus availability from rock phosphate under oil palm (Elaesis guineensis, Jacq.) nursery
The need to improve phosphorus availability from rock phosphate with readily available product is of prime importance in crop production. The overall objective of the research was to improve P availability from RP using MP and the subsequent effect on biomass nutrient concentration and P uptake. The research was conducted at OPRI of Ghana, Kade-Kusi in the semi-deciduous zone of the country. Soil available P, seedlings frond nutrient content and P uptake was evaluated on oil palm seedlings at the nursery. The study was a 4 × 4 factorial experiment arranged in RCBD with 3 replications.
