An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of INM on vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting of Andrographis paniculata. The experiment was followed in a randomized block design with 8 treatments. The different treatments were T1no treatment, T2vermicompost, T3-biofertilizers, T4-chemical fertilizers, T5biofertilizers + vermicompost, T6biofertilizers + chemical fertilizers, T7chemical...

Field experiments were conducted at Patuakhali Science and Technology University research farm during 2009 T. Aman season to investigate the effect of tidal submergence on potassium nutrition and yield of rice. The experiment included two levels of irrigation water sourcei) tidal water and ii) ground water, and three levels of fertilizersi) absolute control (no fertilizer), ii) NP (K omission),...

wheat (triticum aestivum l.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of balkasar soil series (sandy loam) in green house at the department of soil science and swc, pir mehr ali shah arid agriculture university, rawalpindi during rabi season, 2007. the crop was treated with two levels of phosphorus (40 and 80 kg p ha-1 ) in the form of ssp, tsp, np and dap. a basal doze of 100 kg n and 60 kg k...

Microbial biomass nitrogen and carbon were studied in long-term field experiments with continuous cultivation of silage maize and with crop rotation. a positive effect of organic fertilizers on the microbial biomass nitrogen and the carbon content in soil was observed. Statistically significant effect of organic fertilizers on the higher content of microbial biomass C and n was established in t...

Treated distillery effluent (TDE) generated through biomethanated distillery effluent was applied to arable land for augmenting agricultural production. The TDE contains considerable amount of organic matter and salt besides its high plant nutrients content. With this background, an attempt was made. Field experiments were conducted to study the long term effect of TDE and inorganic fertilizers...

There seems to be conflicting information about foliar fertilizers and their timing of application to cotton. Much of the confusion lies in the variety of fertilizer products available. A cotton fanner now has a choice of applying foliar fertilizers (according to fertilizer labels) beginning at the first true leaf stage and continuing until defoliation. This newsletter will focus on available i...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of Balkasar Soil Series (Sandy Loam) in green house at the Department of Soil Science and SWC, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi during Rabi season, 2007. The Crop was treated with two levels of Phosphorus (40 and 80 kg P ha-1 ) in the form of SSP, TSP, NP and DAP. A basal doze of 100 kg N and 60 kg K...

Nitrogen is the most important essential nutrient that plays a major role in achieving maximum crop yield in agriculture. Therefore, nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate and urea have been extensively used in modern agriculture. These fertilizers are generally oxidized to nitrate via nitrite by nitrifying microorganisms in the agricultural field (4, 10, 11). The serious environmental p...

A fertilizer experiment was conducted on wheat (GW 366) during Rabi session 2020-21 and 2021-22 under all India Coordinative Research Project Long Term Fertilizer Experiment at College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, to study the effect long-term application fertilizers manure growth, yield attributes wheat. Eight treatments comprised T1 (50% NPK), T2 (100% T...
