BACKGROUND Vrikshayurveda, an ancient science of plant life described by Surapala, deals with healthy growth and productivity of plants, which has clearly outlined a systematized agricultural practice that insisted the use of Kunapa jala (KJ) and Pancha gavya (PG). OBJECTIVE An experiment was conducted to validate KJ and PG by nutrient analysis and their effect on the germination parameters o...

β-glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.21), an enzyme involved in cellulose degradation, plays an important role in the soil organic carbon cycle. Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound in the biosphere so a product of its enzymatic hydrolysis is important as an energy source for soil microorganisms. Since β-glucosidase is very sensitive to different factors, determination of its activity might be ...

Field experiments were conducted during the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons to investigate the effect of farmyard manure and weeding regimes on the growth and yield of okra. The study was a factorial experiment laid out in split plot design, replicated three times. Farm yard manure was assigned as main plot treatments, while weeding regimes was assigned as sub plot treatments. Parameters measure...

Two-year field experiments were conducted to study the effect of different levels inorganic fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM), and bio-inoculants on wheat productivity profitability. Results specified that judicious application FYM, significantly increased profitability wheat. Data suggested aggregate fertilizer up 100% NPK ha?1 resulted in significant increases all growth attributes, grain yi...

A field experiment was conducted during 2014–15 and 2015–16 at Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agriculture University, Bikaner, Rajasthan, to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) succeeding pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] crop. The laid out in a split-plot design with 3 replications comprising different treatment combinations. Inco...

In order to Study the efficacy application of green manure as chickpea pre plant, 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. Experimental units were arranged in splitsplit plots based...

Background: Considering the high cost of fertilizers and adverse effect its overuse on environment soil health, proper organic manure-fertilizer recommendations basis test values, residual yield targets chilli becomes vital. Methods: Field experiment was carried out Periyanaickenpalayam series Inceptisol order at farmers holding, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu during 2021-2022 after establishment marked ...

An experiment field were carried out in Aswan governorate, Egypt, during the two consecutive of seasons 20.17 and 2018 to evaluate effect organic fertilization sowing date on:  plant vegetation, yield leaves chemical constituents moringa plant. The fertilizers farmyard manure (FYM), compost (COM) poultry (PM). results showed that, generally, improved growth characters, as well N, P K percentage...

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...

canola (brassica napus l.) is one of the most important oil seed crops. in order to evaluate the effects of integrated fertilization (chemical, manure and biofertilizers) on canola (b. napus variety hyola 401) yield and uptake of mineral nutrients in saline soil and water, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete blocks (rcbd) arrangement with eight treatments in three replicatio...
