Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at design with 2 replications, taking 3 levels Watershed Management Research Unit, each of plant population (1 11,000; 148,000 Akola, during rainy season (kharifl 1991, to and 222,000 plantslha), nitrogen (0, 25 and study the effect of plant population, nitrogen 50 kglha) and phosphorus (0, 20 and 40 kg/ and phosphorus fertilization on growth and ha). The soil was silty loam in texture with yield of grain amaranth (Amaranthus sp.). pH 8.3, low in total N (0.0612), medium The experiment consisting of 27 treatments available P,O, (16.80 kglha) and high in was laid out in 3 partially confounded K,O (309.9 kglha). The Local variety of
