Aims: To investigate the effect of different establishment methods, zinc application and residue retention on the rice plant growth metrics. Study Design: Split-plot design with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: Rice and Wheat Research Centre-CSK HPKV, Malan, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India. The study was conducted during Fall of 2021 and 2022. Methodology: We used six main plot treatments viz., M1: transplanting, M2: wet seeding (line sowing under puddle condition), M3: aerobic rice (dry rice cultivation), M4: transplanting + soil application of ZnSO4 (12.5 kg ha-1 + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray) at flowering and early milk stages, M5: wet seeding + soil application of ZnSO4 (12.5 kg ha-1 + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray) at flowering and early milk stages, M6: aerobic rice + soil application of ZnSO4 (12.5 kg ha-1 + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray) at flowering and early milk stages, and three subplot treatments, S1: no residue, S2: 15 cm height of rice straw from ground and incorporation in soil and S3: 30 cm height of rice straw from ground and incorporation. The variety used in the investigation was HPR 1068 of rice. Results: The zinc was treatment resulted in significantly better rice plant height, leaf area index, crop growth rate and net assimilation rate when coupled with transplanting establishment method. Conversely, the aerobic rice establishment without zinc application resulted in significantly (P<0.05) lower rice growth attributes. The days to flowering and physiological maturity were not significantly influenced by the treatments during the study. Conclusion: The transplanting in conjunction with soil application of ZnSO4 12.5 kg ha-1 and foliar application of ZnSO4 0.5% at flowering and early milk stages resulted in significantly higher and better rice plant growth and hence is encouraged.

The present study's objective was to evaluate the content of macronutrients (N, P, K, S) in relation to some physicochemical properties of lateritic soils of Bankura district of West Bengal, India. Altogether 99 soil surface samples were collected from nine blocks namely Bankura II, Onda, Bisnupur, Barjora, Raipur, Sarenga, Bankura I, Gangajalghati, and Chatna of Bankura district of West Bengal. These soil samples were analyzed for some soil fertility parameters like particle size distribution, pH, EC, organic carbon (OC) and available macronutrients contents using standard methodology. The research area’s soils are characterized by sandy clay loam to sandy loam in texture with few samples having loamy sand texture and with soil pH raging from very strongly acidic to neutral. The EC was found to be very low (<1.0 dSm-1) indicating the safe limit for soils where OC content was ranging from low to medium. The content of available N, K of soil samples were low to medium while their content in available P was medium to high. The content of available S was deficient, medium and high for 25, 32 and 43 per cent of research area’s soils respectively. There was significant positive correlation of soil pH with available K content whereas non-significant with available S content. There was a strong and positive correlation between available N and OC levels. It will help the farmers to obtain balanced fertilizer doses for different crops and soils.

The objective of this study was to determine the potential accumulation of copper (Cu) within a USGA golf green profile and analyze potential remediation techniques of soils containing toxic Cu concentrations. Accumulation study utilized: copper phthalocyanine pigment (Par), copper hydroxide (Junction DF), varying concentrations of copper sulfate (CuSO4) within irrigation, and combinations of each. Products were applied over 13 weeks at Clemson University horticulture greenhouses with samples taken at thatch depth, 0-5.1 cm below thatch, and 5.1-10.2 cm below thatch at conclusion of study. Average Cu concentrations in thatch layer was 634.7 kg Cu ha-1, with 0 - 5.1 cm and 5.1 - 10.2 cm depth concentrations of 11.26 and 6.84 kg Cu ha-1, respectively. Remediation studies exposed 5 mg Cecil sandy loam to 15 ml 1000 ppm of CuSo4-Cu followed by 4 sequential 20 ml filtration cycles of 1 N ammonium sulfate, 1 N calcium nitrate, 1 N gypsum, or water. Single filtration of ammonium sulfate removed similar or greater amount of Cu than cumulative impact of 4 filtrations of any other products with 2064 mg Cu kg-1. Studies suggest that the management or removal of thatch may alleviate toxic accumulation of copper, however the use of ammonium sulfate in irrigation water may provide additional remediation options to turfgrass managers.

This article delves into the critical significance of micronutrients specifically in fodder crop production, highlighting their profound impact on crop growth, yield, quality, and sustainable farming practices. Despite being required in trace amounts, micronutrients are essential for ensuring the health and productivity of livestock, as they serve as vital components of the forage consumed by animals. Micronutrients act as indispensable cofactors for enzymes involved in crucial metabolic processes essential for plant health and subsequent livestock nutrition. They play a pivotal role in enhancing fodder crop yield and improving its nutritional content, thus directly contributing to the overall health and productivity of livestock populations. Furthermore, proper management of micronutrients in fodder crop production is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. Sustainable farming practices that prioritize micronutrient balance not only optimize crop yields but also promote soil health and environmental sustainability. This research aims to address the complex challenges of ensuring livestock health, meeting global food demands, and promoting responsible agricultural practices within animal agriculture. In conclusion, the role of micronutrients in fodder crop production is paramount for ensuring the health and productivity of livestock, as well as supporting sustainable farming practices. Recognizing the significance of micronutrients in fodder crop production and implementing tailored management strategies are essential steps toward achieving livestock health, sustainable farming practices, and ultimately, food security in the context of animal agriculture. .

This study has been conducted to investigate the effects of salicylic acid application on the growth and biomass of Amaranthus hybridus. The crop was grown in pots during July-August 2023, under natural weather conditions in the botanical garden of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Different doses of SA (0.69 ppm – 13.8 ppm) was sprayed on the shoot of the plants. Compared to the control group, SA application at 0.69 ppm, 1.38 ppm, and 2.76 ppm showed increased growth and yield of the plants. SA applied at 1.38 ppm concentration, particularly, gave maximum increments in the length and biomass of the crop. SA application reduced the formation of oxidative stress markers (H2O2, SOR, MDA) by increasing the activities of antioxidants like SOD, POD, APX, total phenol, and proline. Salicylic acid treatment also increased the nutritive value of the crop by increasing the level of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and protein, while reduced the levels of oxalic acid. The photosynthetic efficiency of the PSII was strengthened better with 1.38 ppm SA application by increasing chlorophyll content, allocation of absorbed light energy to drive the photochemical process, and quenching of the heat energy. The metabolic profiling via UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS revealed increase in the number and proportion of secondary metabolites belonging to phenolic, alkaloids, terpenoid, flavonoids, betalains, and coumarins group by 240%, 127%, 37%, 182%, 83%, and 90% respectively. Hence, 1.38 ppm of SA has been considered as the suitable dose for spraying on Amaranthus hybridus for increased growth and biomass.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of plant spacing and nutrient levels on the growth and yield of red cabbage. This experiment involved three distinct spacing configurations (45cmx30cm, 45cmx45cm, and 45cmx60cm) and nutrient levels (75% NPK, 100% NPK, and 125% NPK). The experiment was designed as a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRCBD) and carried out at the Department of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru, during the 2021-22 period. This study infers that spacing and nutrients promote the vegetative growth of plants. The spacing configuration of 45cm X 60cm with 125% NPK resulted in the most significant outcomes, including the highest number of leaves (28.93), maximum plant height (36.71 cm), maximum fresh weight of the head (1421.80 g) and highest head volume (1360.19 cc) which could be because of wider spacing and higher nutrient doses. Conversely, the spacing configuration of 45cm X 30cm with 75% NPK demonstrated the early head initiation (45.60 days) and the most compact head formation (0.38). The highest yield per hectare (74.43 t) was achieved with the spacing configuration of 45cmx30cm using 125% NPK which improved greater availability of nutrients and, as a result, boosted the vegetative development.
我们进行了一项实验，研究株距和养分水平对红甘蓝生长和产量的影响。该试验涉及三种不同的株距配置（45 厘米 x 30 厘米、45 厘米 x 45 厘米和 45 厘米 x 60 厘米）和养分水平（75%氮磷钾、100%氮磷钾和 125%氮磷钾）。实验采用因子随机区组设计（FRCBD），于 2021-22 年期间在班加罗尔 GKVK 农业科学大学园艺系进行。这项研究推断，株距和养分可促进植物的无性生长。株行距为 45 厘米 X 60 厘米、氮磷钾含量为 125%的结果最显著，包括最高叶片数（28.93）、最高株高（36.71 厘米）、最高头部鲜重（1421.80 克）和最高头部体积（1360.19 毫升），这可能是由于株行距较宽和养分剂量较高的缘故。相反，45 厘米 X 30 厘米的株行距配置和 75% 的氮磷钾施肥则表现出较早的出头期（45.60 天）和最紧凑的头部形成（0.38）。使用 125% 氮磷钾的 45 厘米 X 30 厘米株行距配置实现了最高的每公顷产量（74.43 吨），提高了养分的可用性，从而促进了植株的生长发育。

The mulberry (Morus spp.) plant holds significant value in the sericulture industry, as its foliage serves as a vital source of food for the mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.). A research study was undertaken to figure out which mulberry variety V1 and MR2 propagated both by stem cuttings and apical cuttings was best performed locally. The investigation was based on biochemical composition including leaf moisture, moisture retention capacity, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, carotenoid, total chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, soluble protein, total carbohydrates, crude protein, total sugar content present in mulberry leaves. The nutritional status of different mulberry varieties is determined by its biochemical composition present. The findings showed that the mulberry mini-clones 60DAP-AC (V1) and 60DAP-AC (MR2) have registered enhanced nutritional parameters than 90DAP-SC (V1) and 90DAP-SC (MR2) and were therefore best suited for raising silkworms to obtain good cocoon parameters.
桑（桑属）植物在养蚕业中具有重要价值，因为其叶片是桑蚕（Bombyx mori L.）的重要食物来源。研究人员开展了一项研究，以找出在当地通过茎插和顶端扦插繁殖的桑树品种 V1 和 MR2 中哪一个表现最好。调查基于生化成分，包括桑叶水分、保湿能力、叶绿素-a、叶绿素-b、类胡萝卜素、总叶绿素、氮、磷、钾、可溶性蛋白质、总碳水化合物、粗蛋白、总糖含量。不同桑树品种的营养状况由其生化成分决定。研究结果表明，60DAP-AC（V1）和 60DAP-AC（MR2）比 90DAP-SC（V1）和 90DAP-SC（MR2）的营养参数更高，因此最适合养蚕以获得良好的蚕茧参数。

A research study was undertaken to figure out which mulberry variety V1 and MR2 propagated both by stem cuttings and apical cuttings was best performed locally. The investigation was based on biochemical composition including leaf moisture, moisture retention capacity, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, carotenoid, total chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, soluble protein, total carbohydrates, crude protein, total sugar content present in mulberry leaves. The nutritional status of different mulberry varieties is determined by its biochemical composition present. The findings showed that the mulberry mini-clones 60DAP-AC (V1) and 60DAP-AC (MR2) have registered enhanced nutritional parameters than 90DAP-SC (V1) and 90DAP-SC (MR2) and were therefore best suited for raising silkworms to obtain good cocoon parameters.","PeriodicalId":507605,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140707965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science a pot experiment was conducted during the rabi, season of 2017-18. Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science situated at College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, Gujarat. The objective of the study is to assess the consequences of saline irrigation water on yield of Onion (Allium Cepa L.) varieties. The study also possess the growth and nutrients composition of Onion (Allium Cepa L.) varieties and effect of saline irrigation water on it. Four levels of salinity are contained viz., < 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dS m-1. GJWO-3, GJRO-11, Talaj red, Pilli patti and PWF-131 these five varieties comprised in factorial completely randomized design with three replications. It found that the yield of chlorophyll a (5.77 mg/gf.wt), chlorophyll-b (4.22 mg/gf.wt), and total chlorophyll were significantly influenced by different levels of salinity, whereas; yield of fresh straw (37.03 g/pot), bulb (37.49 g/pot), RWC, proline (0.96 µmole/gf.wt), were significantly influenced among different varieties of onion tested.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of green manuring and nutrient management on growth and yield of banana cv. Grand Nain during 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Instructional Farm of ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat). The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications, which included 12 treatment combinations viz., Main Plot (T): Different green manuring, T1 - Control, T2 - Single green manuring by dhaincha, T3 - Double green manuring by dhaincha and T4 - Triple green manuring by dhaincha; Sub Plot (N): Nutrient management, N1 - 100 % RDF (FYM: 10 kg plant-1, NPK: 300:90:200 g plant-1 year-1), N2 - 80 % RDF + N 20 % from Bio-compost, N3 - 60 % RDF + N 40 % from Bio-compost. The results revealed that soil application of triple green manuring by dhaincha was found superior with respect to vegetative characters like plant height, girth and number of leaves and yield characteristics like minimum days required for flower initiation and highest bunch weight, number of hands per bunch, weight of third hand, number of fingers per third hand, finger length and girth of third hand and fruit yield. While, 100 % RDF (FYM: 10 kg plant-1, NPK: 300:90:200 g plant-1year-1) treatment induced early flowering and gave the maximum values for vegetative and yield attributing characters. However, in case of interaction, triple green manuring by dhaincha and 100 % RDF (FYM: 10 kg plant-1, NPK: 300:90:200 g plant-1 year-1) resulted in the maximum plant girth, bunch weight, weight of third hand and fruit yield. It is therefore concluded that earlier and higher yield from banana could be obtained by incorporating triple green manuring by dhaincha along with 100 % RDF or 80 % RDF in combination with N 20 % from bio-compost.
