Abstract
Phosphorus is required by plants for cell division, nucleus formation, photosynthesis,
utilization of starch and sugar and growth. within the plants compounds of
phosphorus are responsible for the storage and transfer of energy. In corn
cultivation, phosphorus is a micronutrient and play a major role in the development of
the corn that are planted in rows. When corn plants have sufficient access to soil in
plants, the attainment of maturity is fast, grain production is enhanced, crop quality
improves, stalk strength increases, root growth increases. This study signifies that
the application of the phosphorus fertilizer is best suited for the cultivation of corn. It
has been found super phosphate is best fertilizer that aids in the growth of the
plants, and helps the corn plants to have higher shoot and root biomass. While the
poultry manure is best when applied to the corn plants when there is a need to
increase the chlorophyll of the green plants.
Keywords- Superphosphate fertilizer, poultry manure, shoot biomass, root biomass,
corn variety.
