The present investigation entitled “The effect of integrated nutrient management on various growth parameters cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.)” was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Agriculture & Technology, Meerut – 250110 during 2022-23. In this study (INM), farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB...

Energy budgeting is important for determining the sustainability and vulnerability of a crop production system. In present study, an assessment energy requirements cashew cultivation under three different planting densities was carried out during 2015-20. The study revealed that total input consumption ranged from 75292.68 to 120903.58 MJ/ha. productivity 0.04 0.13 kg/MJ use efficiency varied 8...

The potentials of poultry, farmyard and refuse dump manures for management of Phytophthora root rot on sweet peppers, Capsicum annuum was evaluated in pot experiments under controlled conditions. Five week-old seedlings of pepper varieties were transplanted into heat sterilized soil amended with poultry, farmyard and refuse dump manures at 2, 4 and 8 tons/ha. The pots were arranged in complete ...

Background: Suboptimal dietary zinc intake is widespread in India due to low levels of plant-available soils and limited food choices. The aim this study was enhance the concentration soil plant by using farmyard manure (FYM) enriched with fertilizers solubilizers respectively. Additionally, response maize three forms fertilizer determined. Maize crop grown under zinc-deficient contain lower co...

degraded soils in northwest china are mostly nonproductive due to imbalanced nutrient and inadequate water supply. the effects of manure application at three different rates (7.5, 15.0, and 22.5 t ha–1) combined with chemical fertilizers on soil water and water-use efficiency in maize [compared with chemical fertilizers (control)], under semi-arid conditions in dark loessial soil and over a per...

The drastic increase of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and depletion soil organic carbon (SOC) have prompted interest in exploiting the sink potential to sequester carbon. role soils mitigate climate change by “4 per 1000” concept global SOC stocks 0.4% has been acknowledged. However, C depends on cropping system, magnitude antecedent depleted from soil, properties profile, agricultural managem...

Replenishing nutrients through organic sources is essential to maintain the soil health and sustainability in Eastern Himalayan Region, India which is organic by default. Keeping this in mind an experiment was laid out on randomized block design with six treatments viz., T1: Vermicompost (VC; 2.5 Mg ha-1), T2: Poultry manure (PM; 1.25 Mg ha-1), T3: Swine manure (SM; 3.0 Mg ha-1), T4: Cow du...

Maize is a staple summer crop grown in the hilly areas of Nepal, where the soil is fragile and fertility is declining over years due primarily to degradation of natural resource base, high rates of soil erosion, increased cropping intensity and inadequate replenishment of soil nutrients. Forum for Rural Welfare and Agricultural Reform for Development (FORWARD) with the financial support from Hi...
