Lowland rice cropping for one season decreased the soluble salts, particularly the chlorides, in the top 30 in. of a saline alkali clay soil. The calcium:sodium ratio increased for soluble cations, but showed little change for exchangeable cations. The surface soil became slightly more water-stable, but below 3 in. the soil became easier to disperse. These changes had little effect on the growth of an irrigated annual pasture sown after rice cropping, except in the year of establishment. After 2 years' growth of the pasture, part of the soluble salts had returned to the top 30 in. of the soil. The application of gypsum at 2 and 8 tons/acre before growing the lowland rice crop increased the ca1cium:sodium ratio of both soluble and exchangeable cations and reduced clay dispersion. Rice seedling ,establishment and yields of stubble-sown subterranean clover were higher on the gypsum-treated plots.

SUMMARYPhosphorus (P) is one of the main limiting nutrients in the semi-arid regions where pearl millet is grown; its deficiency leads to poor seedling establishment and eventually poor crop yield. Experiments were carried out in pots and field-like conditions to evaluate the effect of seed priming and seed coating with P on the shoot biomass at two and four weeks after sowing (WAS), and on the panicle and stover yield at maturity of three hybrid varieties of pearl millet in low P Alfisol. Overall, seed priming did not increase shoot biomass at two and four WAS. In pots, seed coating at a rate of approximately 400 g P ha−1 increased vegetative biomass over 400% at early stages, and panicle yield by about 50%, over the non-coated treatment, with genotypic variation in the magnitude of the response. In field-like conditions, seed coating restored stover biomass to 85–100% of that in the non-limiting P treatment, whereas the panicle yield remained 25–35% lower than in the non-limiting P treatment, but still 45–65% higher than the non-coated treatment. P deficiency delayed the time to flowering by 20–24 days compared to the non-limiting P treatment, but plants in the seed coating treatment reduced that gap by 10–14 days. Seed P coating treatment appears a valid option to promote pearl millet seedling establishment and then to boost yield under low soil P conditions. The maintenance of an effect of seed coating on panicle yield in pots suggests a positive early effect on developmental processes before panicle initiation.
