dc.description.abstract In a pot culture experiment different organic phosphorus sources (farmyard manure, poultry manure, vermicompost and sewage sludge) were evaluated with standard inorganic source of single superphosphate to improve soil nutrient content, all applied on equal P basis @ 34 kg P2O5 ha-1. The six treatments, including no-P (control) were replicated four times in a CRD. Groundnut was sown in each pot. The experimental results revealed that phosphorus increased the post-harvest soil nutrients availability. Highest availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur was recorded in poultry manure treatment and sewage sludge exhibited a considerable increase in available nitrogen and sulphur content. en_US
