T0: Control (without any fertilizer), T1: Recommended DAP @648 mg pot⁻¹, T2: Half dose DAP @324 mg pot⁻¹, T3: Recommended rate of TSP @900 mg pot⁻¹, T4: Half dose TSP @45 mg pot⁻¹.

Means that are not sharing same letters in common are significantly different from each other at 0.05 probability level.

Data shown are mean for three replicates.
