Biochar amendments are widely recognized to improve crop productivity and soil biogeochemical quality, however, their effects on vegetable crops less studied. This pot study investigated the of cotton stick, corncob rice straw biochars alone with farmyard manure (FYM) tomato growth, physico–chemical biological characteristics, organic carbon (SOC) content amount nutrients under recommended mine...

The sequestration in soil of organic carbon (SOC) derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by replacing arable crops with leys, has been measured over 70 years on a sandy loam soil. The experiment was designed initially to test the effect of leys on the yields of arable crops. A 3-year grazed grass with clover (grass + clover) ley in a 5-year rotation with arable crops increased percentage...

Abstract Soil salinity represents one of the major threats land degradation and desertification under arid semi-arid environments. It has an adverse influence on soil-water-plant relationships, posing serious challenges to agricultural productivity. The main objective this work was monitor effect farmyard manure (FYM) application irrigation with low-quality water dynamics dissolved salts yield ...

ABSTRACT Oregano ( Origanum onites L.) is an important medicinal and aromatic plant. The use of sector economic value oregano are determined by quality in world trade. This study was conducted during 2019–2021 to determine the effects chemical organic fertilizers on yield O. L. experiment followed a randomized complete block design with six treatments four replications, i.e., control (C: untrea...

Background: Finger millet cultivation in Alfisols (Typic rhodustalf, Palaviduthi soil series) demands an optimal integrated plant nutrient supply to achieve desired yields. In order develop the test crop response fertilizer and farm yard manure (FYM) through nutrition system (STCR-IPNS) terms of uptake, yield pre-sowing STVs, a field investigation on [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] was conduct...

A field experiment was conducted at the Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (U.P.), India, during kharif season 2020 to assess effect farmyard manure (FYM) and sulfur on performance urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.)] soil properties. The designed as a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments, consisting different doses FYM sulfur, ...

A study was conducted during 2016–17 to 2018–19 at farmer’s field under Farmer FIRST Project (FFP), College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Waraseoni, Balaghat, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, assess the impact integrated nutrient management on crop productivity, soil-nutrient balance and economics rice (Oryza sativa L.)–chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cropping system. Applica...

This study aims to investigate the effects of polyacrylamide (PAM) alone or integrated with other soil amendments on fertility and Teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) yield. A field experiment was carried out for 2 years in three contrasting agroecological zones Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia, using a randomized complete block design 3 replicates. The applied were PAM (40 kg ha?1), biochar (...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major legume crops grown in Pakistan having a considerable importance as a food, feed and fodder but due to imbalanced use of fertilizers its production is low. To find the optimum level of Phosphorus and FYM for chickpea and study their effect on agronomic characteristics an experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricul...

Seedling production nurseries have been receiving much attention because of increasing demand for seedlings. In sub-Saharan Africa studies showed over 50% smallholder seedlings planted were sourced in tree nurseries. This has caused a rise need to improve quality especially focused on level. The focus most early growth performance selected key species important either commercial plantation or a...
