A field experiment was conducted during 2002-03 and 2003-04 at G.B.Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to study the effect of farmyard manure and phosphorus on urdbean and their residual effects on wheat under urdbean-wheat cropping system. The results revealed that yield attributes viz., pods per plant, grains per pod, 1000- grain weight and grain yield per ha in urdbean increased significantly due to direct application of 5 t ha' farmyard manure and/or 40 kg P,O, ha over control. The 75% of recommended level, being at par with 100% of recommended fertilizer level, produced significantly higher yield attributes and grain yield as compared to 50% of recommended fertilizer level in wheat during both the years. Grain yield of wheat also increased significantly with 40 kg P,O, ha' applied to urdbean (residual) over control during 2003-04.
