Combined application of organic and inorganic amendments was known to play a significant role in improvement of soil properties. A field experiment was conducted to explore the effects of gypsum, farmyard manure and commercial humic acid application on the amelioration of salt affected (saline sodic) soil. During this study, soil pH, electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, responses o...

A two-year field experiment was carried out to scrutinize the integrated use of NPSZnB blended fertilizer and farmyard manure (FYM) on maize growth yield components at Koga Bachima villages in Mecha district Geray Jiga Jabi Tehran district. Factorial combinations have five levels (100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kg·ha−1), four rates FYM (0, 12, 16, 20 t·ha−1), plus one blanket recommendation (200 kg·ha...

Cadmium is a potentially toxic heavy metal that enters food chain from the soil through various anthropogenic sources. Availability of metal ions in contaminated soils can be reduced by the addition of organic amendments. In this study, effect of organic matter -farm yard manure (FYM) amendment on fractionation and availability of Cd to maize was evaluated. A green house experiment was conducte...

The present investigation was conducted at the technology farmer field of district Shravasti during Kharif seasons 2021 and 2022. Six treatment viz., control (T1), 100% RDF (T2), 50% RDF+Geen Manure (T3), +Zn (T4), FYM+Green (T5), FYM+ Green (T6) were replicated in randomized block design Rice crop variety Rajendra Bhagwati. data recorded revealed that increased Number panicles hill-1, test wei...

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at Rajasthan College Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University Agriculture Technology, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to find out best integrated nutrient management strategy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The correlation regression were studied between yield attributes as influenced by these treatments. laid a randomi...

The introduction of ecological sanitation (ECOSAN) toilets in villages near Bangalore hascreated opportunities for safer sanitation and recycling of human excreta, as fertilizers, in ruraland peri-urban areas. Field experiments were conducted at the University farm on French beansand Maize as the test crops in succession for 2 consecutive years in the same field. Differenttreatment combinations...

The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers can deteriorate soil, grain, and environmental quality; still, these be restored if integrated nutrient management options with inclusion legumes in the cropping system are adopted. A long-term (19 year) rice-wheat experiment was examined to find out best practices (BNMP) through recommended dose (RDF), plant nutrition (IPNS), soil test crop respon...

The impact of three different soil DNA extraction methods on bacterial diversity was evaluated using PCR-based 16S ribosomal DNA analysis. DNA extracted directly from three soils showing contrasting physicochemical properties was subjected to amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA). The obtained RISA patterns revealed clearly that both the ph...
