BACKGROUND: Nutrient management is one of the most important factors that affect the growth and production of maize. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of Mycorrhizas and vermicompost on seed yield, its components and quantities traits such as concentration of protein, starch, zinc, potassium and nitrogen of corn seed.<br...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2021-22 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Niani Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis one year experimentation. consisted FYM 18 t/ha, Poultry manure 3 t/ha V...

Sustainability of quality fruit production in Indian jujube is adversely affected by improper irrigation and nutrient management. A field study comprising four levels (drip at 0.8, 0.6 0.4 pan evaporation (E0) surface 1.0 IW/CPE with 50 mm depth) three (100% RDF, 75% RDF+25% RDF as vermicompost 50% RDF+50% vermicompost) was conducted during 2018-19 (11 months) on plant. Results showed that tall...

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 ...

The increasing solid waste generation rates and their high collection cost were some of the major problems in India. This paper deals with the effective management of Temple wastes. The temple waste consists of coconut, leaves, flowers, fruits etc which are of biodegradable in nature.It also includes milk products, grains and water, which could facilitate the growth of microorganisms. Such biod...

In recent years, the disposal of organic wastes from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources has caused increasing environmental concerns. In this regard, the recycling of utilizable waste is feasible. This can be solved by combination of effective technologies like Biodung composting and Vermitech (incorporating earthworms for the production of vermicompost). The present work was carried...

Cattle dung vermicompost (VC) was used to prepare different proportions of soil and vermicompost mixtures viz. Soil (control), VC15 (Soil+15% VC), VC30 (Soil+30% VC), VC45 (Soil+45% VC). Vermicompost was chemically analysed for various parameters like pH, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Available Phosphorous (TAP), Total Sodium (TNa), Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Electric Conductivity (E...
