When comparing soil potassium (K) levels common in West Texas to the current Mehlich III-K critical for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), fertilizer K applications are seldom recommended. However, when is applied, positive responses yield have been reported. Studies were conducted Lamesa and New Deal, TX to: 1) determine effects on leaf concentrations; 2) evaluate whether application increases cr...

It is in this connection that it becomes very difficult at times for the agricultural scientist and practical agriculturist to meet on common ground, for very often a popular version of scientific reasoning may appear ambiguous, and in this case it would appear better to sacrifice the facile version (since the layman can always get an interpreter to explain if he is sufficiently interested) tha...

With increasing frequency and intensity of dry spells in the cocoa production zones West Africa, strategies for mitigating impact water stress on seedling survival are urgently required. We investigated effects applied potassium biomass accumulation, physiological processes varieties subjected to pot experiments a gauzehouse facility. Four levels (0, 1, 2, or 3 g/plant as muriate potash) were u...

his paper seeks to understand the influence of different levels of fertilizer nutrients on annual yield of cardamom in Cardamom Hill Reserves (CHR) under rain fed situation. Field experiment conducted at CRS, Pampadumpara during 1994-2002 on nutrient levels with sources revealed that increasing the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium had increased the yields of cardamom up to 125: 125:...

AIM The effects of N-P-K fertilizers in the form of urea, single super phosphate and muriate of potash on development of free-living stages of Haemonchus contortus were studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five parasite free experimental plots of 1 m×1 m area, each of paddy leaves (15-day-old) and an equal number of Cynodon dactylon grass were infested with about 10×104 eggs/ml phosphate buffer sal...

Few studies have examined the use of poultry litter as an alternative to inorganic P and K fertilizers for flood-irrigated rice. The objective of this study was to compare fresh and pelletized poultry litter to inorganic P and K fertilizers to document the availability of P and K in poultry litter. Inorganic P and K fertilizers, fresh broiler litter, and pelletized litter were preplant-incorpor...

Aim: To find out the CH4 and CO2 emission pattern considerable amount of SOC sequestered by using different organic sources in sandy clay loam soil.
 Study Design: Randomized Block Design.
 Place Duration Study: The study was conducted a farmer's field at Ayanathur, which is geographically located 11°23’N latitude, 79°29'E longitude, an altitude +26 m MSL. confined to 2 years cycle fr...

This study was carried out at the teaching and Research farm, Department of Horticulture Landscape Technology, Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, to investigate integrated effects organics (lime, Inoculum) mineral fertilizers, (single superphosphate muriate potash) on growth, nodulation yield soybean. The input omission trial composed 16 treatment combinations phosphorus (75 kg/ha), potas...
