The paddy straw is one of the most abundant agricultural by-products in Tamil Nadu, India. It contains approximately 37% cellulose, 24% hemicelluloses and 15% lignin. In the present investigation the paddy straw was pre-digested with Trichoderma viride and subsequently the same was utilized for the production of vermicompost by using Eudrilus eugeniae, Perionyx excavatus and Lampito mauritii un...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi hold considerable potential for use as inoculant and nowadays much attention is focused on mass production of AM fungal inoculum, since this is of paramount importance in improving plant production in agriculture and horticulture. However, effectivity of these fungi on crop growth relies on their production practices, typically the substrate selected for its ma...

The aim of the present study was to assess the genotoxicity reduction in post vermicompost feed mixtures of bagasse (B) waste using earthworm Eisenia fetida. The genotoxicity of bagasse waste was determined by using Allium cepa root chromosomal aberration assay. Bagasse was amended with cattle dung in different proportions [0:100 (B0) 25:75 (B25), 50:50 (B50), 75:25 (B75) and 100:0 (B100)] on d...

A pot experiment was conducted during Kharif season, 2005 to ascertain the response of different organic sources viz., wheat straw, farm yard manure (FYM), vermicompost and poultry manure to rice (Oryza sativa) and also to monitor the effect of manuring on soil carbon pools. Application of poultry manure and vermicompost alongwith chemical fertilizers for supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and pota...

The objectives of this work were to use Sesuvium verrucosum produce stable and mature compost vermicompost evaluate their influence on the growth production parameters Solanum lycopersicum L. crop. For preparation vermicompost, earthworm Eisenia fetida (Savigny) was used. proposed treatments were: T1 (negative control) [no organic fertilizer + urea], T2 (positive [bovine manure (100%) T3 (compo...

The study was conducted at 10 – yearsold walnut orchard at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni-Solan(H.P.) to find out the effect of integrated nutrient management on leaf nutrient status of walnut (Juglans regia L.). There were 13 different treatment combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Treatments were applied on per tree basis. Among the treatments re...

objective: to evaluate the effects of bacteria and vermicompost on phenology and growth of soybean trial an experiment was conducted as split plot in a completely randomized block design with three replications. methods: main plots of experiment at two levels included the non-use and the use of bacteria and the subplots at three levels included the non-use of vermicompost (control), the use of ...

Background:Nitrogen plays a crucial role in growth cycling and development, thereby influencing the plant productivity. Understanding interactions between nitrogen uptake with different irrigation fertilizers could provide valuable insight for optimizing tomato production. Hence, this study aimed to investigate effect of on production under fertilizer regimes. Methods:The field experiment was c...
