Two greenhouse pot experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of dried leaf powder and extractives (ethanolic, aqueous extracts) Moringa(Moringa oleifera) or organic fertilizer (vermicompost) two commercial products namely BioNematon (Purpureocillium lilacinum) Abamectin, Gold (Streptomyces avermitilis) on eggplant growth parameters Meloidogyne incognita infection. In both observed ...

A long-term field experiment was started in the campus of College Agriculture, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha since kharif 2010 a randomized block design with 08 treatments and three replications under cereal-vegetable-pulse cropping system. Different observations on plant soil parameters were taken during 2018 to evaluate performance test crop towards different package practices followed. The Knol-...

The aim of this study was to assess the decomposition efficiency of earthworms, local (L.mauritii) as well as exotic (Eisenia foetida) in vermicomposting of garden litter in SRM University campus. The vermicompost produced through vermicomposting of garden litter mixed with cow dung in the ratio of 3:1 by using local and exotic earthworms (Eisenia foetida) was rich in ammoniacal nitrogen, nitra...

Rock phosphate (RP) addition in cow-dung waste-paper mixtures at rates above 2% P has been reported to increase the rate of bio-transformation and humification of organic waste mixtures during vermicomposting to produce organic fertilizer for organic farming. However, the optimization of RP for vermicomposting was not established. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal amount ...

Sustainability of quality fruit production in Indian jujube is adversely affected by improper irrigation and nutrient management. A field study comprising four levels (drip at 0.8, 0.6 0.4 pan evaporation (E0) surface 1.0 IW/CPE with 50 mm depth) three (100% RDF, 75% RDF+25% RDF as vermicompost 50% RDF+50% vermicompost) was conducted during 2018-19 (11 months) on plant. Results showed that tall...

The effects of commercial vermicomposts, produced from food waste, on infestations and damage by aphids, mealy bugs and cabbage white caterpillars were studied in the greenhouse. Vermicomposts were used at substitution rates into a soil-less plant growth medium, MetroMix 360 (MM360), at rates of 100% MM360 and 0% vermicompost, 80% MM360 and 20% vermicompost, and 60% MM360 and 40% vermicompost t...

intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

the present study was conducted to investigate the yield and some morphological characteristics of echinacea purpurea. the experiment was conducted in research farm of the ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khuzestan during 2013- 2014. the experiment was performed as a split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. the foliar a...

The present investigation entitled “The effect of integrated nutrient management on various growth parameters cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.)” was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Agriculture & Technology, Meerut – 250110 during 2022-23. In this study (INM), farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB...
