A field experiment was conducted to find out the effect of conjoint application sewage sludge (SS) and fertilizers on yield rice-wheat cropping system using a randomized block design. The grain ranged between 24.99 ± 4.24 66.32 2.58 q ha-1 22.50 0.55 50.37 1.07 in Ist year grown rice wheat, respectively. Among all treatments, T3 (100% recommended dose fertilizer (RDF) + 30 t SS) recorded signif...

Residue management in cropping systems is believed to improve soil quality. However, the effects of residue management on methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from paddy field in Southern China have not been well researched. The emissions of CH4 and N2O were investigated in double cropping rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems with straw returning of different winter cover crops by using th...

Continuous cropping of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) deplete soil fertility and crop productivity. One strategy to increase crop productivity under rice-wheat system is balanced application of crop nutrients. Field experiment was conducted to assess the impact of phosphorus (0, 40, 80, 120 kg P ha(-1)) and zinc (0, 5, 10, 15 kg Zn ha(-1)) on the productivity of rice ge...

results mycoflora profiles of fresh and stored rice grains showed that aspergillus species (37.3%, 40.7%) were the predominant fungal agents, followed by fusarium (21.6%, 16.2%), mucor (19.6%, 16.7%) and rhizopus (9.8%, 11.1%), respectively. in hplc analysis, most of the rice samples (96.7%) collected were found to be positive for fb1 with mean levels ranging from not detected to 56.2 mg/kg for...

introduction of high yielding as well as high quality rice cultivars is one of the most important activities at rice research institute of iran (rrii). in 1991, 210 rice lines introduced from international rice research institute (irri) to rice research institute of iran were evaluated in observational and statistical experiments in mazandaran for two years, and seven lines were selected. these...

The colonization pattern and extent of decay produced in paddy stubble by soil inhabiting mycoflora were done by using nylon net bag technique. Among the three methods used for isolation of fungi, dilution plate technique recorded the highest number of fungi followed by damp chamber and direct observation method. Nutrient availability and climatic conditions (temperature, humidity and rainfall)...
