The investigation entitled, “Integrated Nutrient Management in Bottle gourd [Lagenariasiceraria (Mol) Standl.] Variety Kashi Ganga on the Plant Disease Incidence,TSS and Economics under Malwa condition of Madhya Pradesh” was conducted during Kharif season year 2019-20 Department Horticulture, College Agriculture, Indore (M.P.). experiment randomized block design replicated thrice. There were 15...

In the present study, a biofertilizer on the basis of Streptomyces fumanus gn-2 was used for the treatment of wheat and soybean seeds (dose 104 spore/ml) before planting them in soil with low fertility in order to determine the effect of this biological agent on germination rate; the growth of seedlings, shoots, and the maturation phase of plants; the rhizosphere’s functional biodiversity; and ...

Cyanobacteria are one of the important components of rice field ecosystems. Few of which have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and are therefore, considered as natural biofertilizer which enrich the productivity of rice. Calothrix is one of the potent groups of N2 fixing cyanobacteria and is very common in rice grown areas of Assam. Therefore, the present survey conducted in rice field s...

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) Hermetia illucens have shown some promising signs in their ability to rapidly process organic waste into a usable frass input. However, little is known about the effectiveness of frass, when compared biofertilizers produced by other consumers, such as, red wiggler worms (RW) Eisenia fetida. This study consumption rate, compost nutrient concentration, and applicat...

The antimicrobial activity of 12 plant extracts was tested against the phytopathogens Alternaria alternata and Fusarium solani. In addition, the compatibility of the extracts toward Bacillus liqueniformis, a biofertilizer and a non-target microorganism, was assessed. Plants tested belong to the Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae, Crassulaceae, Rubiaceae, Convolvulaceae, Verbenaceae, Orchidaceae, Nyctagi...

BACKGROUND Dairy effluents contains high organic load and unscrupulous discharge of these effluents into aquatic bodies is a matter of serious concern besides deteriorating their water quality. Whilst physico-chemical treatment is the common mode of treatment, immobilized microalgae can be potentially employed to treat high organic content which offer numerous benefits along with waste water tr...

In order to evaluation the effects of soil organic matter and biofertilizer on chickpea quality and biological nitrogen fixation, field experiments were carried out in 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. In this research the effects of different strategies for soil fertilization were investigated on grain yield and yield component, minerals, organic compounds and cooking time of chickpea. Experiment...

Drought stress is a major environmental stress that restricts plant growth and production in the majority of agricultural fields of the world. The application of different fertilizers, especially biofertilizers and organic fertilizers, might play an important role in the production of medicinal plants in order to improve their resistance to deficit water stress. In order to evaluate the effects...
