A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2020 at research field of AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vid¬¬¬¬yapeeth, Akola, (Maharashtra) to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients on soil fertility and yield of rainfed cotton(Gossypiumspp.) in Vertisols. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments. The results revealed that, there was a reduction in bulk density, pH and electrical conductivity and an increase in hydraulic conductivity and organic carbon content with application of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through gliricidia green leaves. This treatment also resulted in significantly higher available N (193.2 kg ha-1) and K (331.1 kg ha-1) content whereas available P (15.98 kg ha-1) content was higher with application of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through vermicompost. Improvement in the seed and stalk yield of cotton was observed with application of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through gliricidia green leaves. Seed and stalk yield was increased by 8.9% and 7.7% with application of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through gliricidia green leaves as compared to inorganic treatment, respectively. The minimum seed (540.9 kg ha-1) and stalk (997.2 kg ha-1) yield were recorded with application of 12 t FYM ha-1.
2020年农作季，在AICRP旱地农业研究领域，Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vid -¬¬¬yapeeth博士，Akola (Maharashtra)进行了一项田间试验，研究有机养分来源对土壤肥力和Vertisols雨养棉花(Gossypiumspp.)产量的影响。试验采用随机区组设计，3个重复，9个处理。结果表明，施用50%氮肥+ 50%氮肥可降低叶片的容重、pH和电导率，提高叶片的导电性和有机碳含量。施用50%氮肥+ 50%蚯蚓堆肥可显著提高速效氮(193.2 kg ha-1)和速效钾(331.1 kg ha-1)含量，而速效磷(15.98 kg ha-1)含量显著高于施用50%氮肥。通过FYM施用50%氮肥+叶片施用50%氮肥，棉花籽粒和茎部产量均有提高。与无机处理相比，通过FYM施用50%氮肥+通过叶片施用50%氮肥，种子和茎部产量分别提高8.9%和7.7%。施用12 t FYM hm -1时，种子(540.9 kg hm -1)和茎(997.2 kg hm -1)产量最低。

The twelve treatments comprised in series of physical, cultural and biological methods were imposed on 2, 4 and 6.0 dS m-1saline water (SW)for assessing water EC and ions concentrations. Of which, two treatments viz.SW exposure to 0.44 T MFs (6 min) + incubation with Amla stem powder @ 6 g 6 hrs L-1 + five days incubation with C10 bacterial culture (BC)@ 4 ml L-1,and SW exposure to 0.44 T MFs (6 min) + incubation with Muringa seed powder @ 6 g 6 hrs L-1 + five days incubation with C10BC solution @ 4 ml L-1were carried out for assessing the treated SW effect on soil properties and growth and development of black gram (Vigna mungo) grown in saline and non-saline soils. The treatment efficiency decreased with increased salt content. The treatments of cultural and saline bacterial combinations, and integration of all approaches were equally effective.The integrated approach treatment reduced on an average 30.3 % EC, and 64.3% Ca2+, 51.6 % Mg2+, 24.9 % Na+, 26.5 % SO42- and 18 % Cl-ions concentration. The salt accumulation from saline water lowered for treatments and both the treatments were equally effective. As a whole, it reduced nearly 50-56 % salt accumulation, and >57% Ca2+, >44 % Mg2+, >36% Na+, >22 % SO42- and >13 % Cl- in both the soils. Improvement of plant growth parameters and eventually 13.4 % yield increase were achieved.

To assess the dispersion of genetic variation among Indian garlic accessions, twenty-five genotypically diverse accessions were studied through analysis of genetic variability, mean performance, heritability and genetic gain for 17 yield contributing agro-morphological traits.The study involving 25 Indian garlic accessions was undertaken at Vegetable Farm, CSK HPKV, Palampur during 2017-2018. Based on mean performance, Kanaid Local Selection and Chambi Local Selection were the top-ranking genotypes for bulb yield per plant which significantly out yielded all the genotypes with a significant increase of 28.7 % and 12.7 %, respectively over standard check, (GHC-1). In general, the magnitude of PCV was higher than their respective GCV for all the traits studied which reflected the considerable influence of environment on the manifestation of these traits.High estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were obtained for bulbils per plant, clove weight and clove equatorial diameter indicating better scope for improvement through selection.The high heritability coupled with high genetic gain for bulbils per plant, clove weight, leaf width at middle portion, clove equatorial diameter, cloves per bulb and pseudo stem diameter showed active involvement of additive gene action in the inheritance of these traits and selection for these traits will directly increase bulb yield per plant.

Secretion of LMWOAs by plants is one of the important mechanisms to make fixed soil phosphorus (P) bioavailable to plant. But the effectiveness of different LMWOAs in enhancing the soil available P varies significantly with the pH of the soil. Therefore the present study was undertaken at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi during 2018-19 to assess the effect of oxalic and citric acid in increasing the soil available phosphorus in two soil orders i.e. Inceptisol and Alfisol, during different intervals of incubation (i.e. 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 days). The results showed that there was an increasing trend in soil available P release pattern under both the LMWOAs treatments up to 60 and 45 days of incubation in Inceptisol and Alfisol, respectively and after reaching this threshold value, it attained declining trend. Citric acid was found to be most effective than oxalic acid in mobilizing soil phosphorus in the acidic soil (Alfisol), whereas oxalic acid was superior in neutral soil (Inceptisol). With increasing rates of both LMWOAs, the soil available P increased significantly. Thus, the application of LMWOAs will reduce the excess application of phosphorus and its build-up in soils and causing eutrophication of water bodies.

The present study was conducted using soil profiles of Jorhat district under different land use systems (LUS) i.e. Bamboo field, tea plantation and rainfed rice. The total soil organic carbon content at 0-15 cm depth varied from 7.86 to 8.43 g kg-1, wherein rainfed rice land use system recorded significantly higher total organic carbon (TOC) than tea plantation but at par with that of bamboo field. However, at 15-30, 30-60 and 60-100 cm soil depths bamboo field recorded significantly higher over other land use systems. Among these LUS, rainfed rice showed significantly higher very labile carbon (CVL) in soil than tea plantation and bamboo field at 0-15 cm depth whereas in 15-30 cm depth CVL in tea plantation was found to be significantly higher than bamboo field and rainfed rice. However, Bamboo field and tea plantation had CVL significantly higher than rainfed rice under 30-60 and 60-100 cm depths, respectively. In all the depths, labile carbon pool (CL) was significantly higher in bamboo field ranging from 1.01 to 1.67 g kg-1 whereas under bamboo field, less labile carbon (CLL) pool 0-15, 15-30 and 30-60 cm depths was significantly higher than tea plantation and rainfed rice soils. However, the recalcitrant carbon (CR) pool did not vary significantly among different LUS. Soil organic carbon stock in soil at 0-15 cm depth was found to be significantly higher in rainfed rice soil than tea plantation and bamboo field whereas in the remaining depths the SOC stock was significantly higher under bamboo field. Moreover, the interaction between LUS and depths varied significantly. Among different fractions (CL, CLL, CVL and CR fractions), CR fraction had the smallest variation among land uses, which indicate that the non-labile fraction was less sensitive to land use systems.

A field experiment was conducted during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Amar Singh College, Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh) to assess the influence of micronutrients on growth, yield and economics of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Eight treatments were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. Results revealed that all the growth and yield attributing characters of turmeric responded significantly to the application of micronutrients, whether alone and/or in combination. Application of Zn was more effective in improving the growth, yield and economics as compared to Fe and B. Application of25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg borax ha-1 along with RDF resulted in the maximum plant height (95.5 cm), highest number of tillers per plant (2.96), number of leaves per plant (25.0), number of rhizomes per plant (20.2); maximum fresh weight of rhizomes per plant (297.7 g) and the highest yield of turmeric (33.07 tha-1).The yield increment with RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg borax ha-1 was 20.3% over the control. The performance of RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 ha-1 and RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 10 kg borax ha-1 wasat par with RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg borax ha-1 for the growth and yield attributes of turmeric. The lowest values of these parameters were recorded under control.An eeconomic assessment of different treatments revealed that the maximum net return (Rs.4,54,445ha-1) with the highest B:C ratio (2.89)was realized from the combined application of Zn + Fe + B along with RDFas compared to control with a net return of Rs. 3,43,517 ha-1and B:C ratio of 2.47.
本研究于2018- 2019年和2019- 2020年在北方邦Lakhaoti的Amar Singh学院进行了田间试验，以评估微量营养素对姜黄(Curcuma longa L.)生长、产量和经济的影响。8个处理采用随机区组设计，3个重复。结果表明，无论是单独施用还是联合施用，姜黄的所有生长性状和产量属性都对微量营养素的施用有显著的响应。施用锌比施用铁和硼更有效地促进生长、产量和经济效益。施用25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg硼砂ha-1和RDF可获得最高株高(95.5 cm)、最高分蘖数(2.96)、最高叶片数(25.0)、最高根茎数(20.2);单株根茎最大鲜重(297.7 g)和姜黄最高产量(33.07 za -1)。RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg硼砂ha-1的产量比对照增加20.3%。RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 ha-1和RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 10 kg硼砂ha-1与RDF + 25 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg FeSO4 + 10 kg硼砂ha-1对姜黄生长和产量性状的影响基本相同。在控制下记录这些参数的最低值。对不同处理的经济评价表明，与对照相比，Zn + Fe + B与rdfa联合施用的净收益最高(4,54,445ha-1)， B:C比最高(2.89)，净收益为3,43,517 ha-1, B:C比为2.47。

The breeding programmes of floricultural crops lay prime stress on adding colour variability in the existing pool along with retention of other important vegetative and reproductive traits of the crop. The evaluation of accessions produced in breeding programmes of pansy in the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during the year 2019-21was conducted with twenty accessions for vegetative and flowering traits. Maximum plant height was recorded in A-12 (37.4 cm), maximum plant spread in A-13 (42.1 cm) and highest number of branches in A-11 (21.6). The accession A-5 took maximum number of days (63.9days) for flowering whereas the minimum number of days for flowering (56.5 days) was taken by accession A-14. Among all the tested accessions, the maximum duration of flowering was recorded in A-5 (96.1 days). Amongst the pansy accessions, A-11 was maximum flower producing (91.1), while A-3 produced the largest flowers (4.8cm) and flower from A-20 had longest stalk (11 cm). Correlation analysis further showed that the number of flowers per plant was affected by plant vegetative traits (plant height,spread and number of branches). Cluster analysis based on morphological data divided the accessions into three groups. These variations might help in classifying pansy for pot cultivation, bedding and exhibition purposes, which could be beneficial for breeders and growers.

Maximum plant height was recorded in A-12 (37.4 cm), maximum plant spread in A-13 (42.1 cm) and highest number of branches in A-11 (21.6). The accession A-5 took maximum number of days (63.9days) for flowering whereas the minimum number of days for flowering (56.5 days) was taken by accession A-14. Among all the tested accessions, the maximum duration of flowering was recorded in A-5 (96.1 days). Amongst the pansy accessions, A-11 was maximum flower producing (91.1), while A-3 produced the largest flowers (4.8cm) and flower from A-20 had longest stalk (11 cm). Correlation analysis further showed that the number of flowers per plant was affected by plant vegetative traits (plant height,spread and number of branches). Cluster analysis based on morphological data divided the accessions into three groups. These variations might help in classifying pansy for pot cultivation, bedding and exhibition purposes, which could be beneficial for breeders and growers.","PeriodicalId":8031,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Plant and Soil Research","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84404271","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}

A field experiment was conducted at Amar Singh PG College, Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh) during 2018-19and 2019-20, to assess the efficacy of sugarcane pressmud on growth, yield and economics of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Six different levels of pressmud were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The results indicated that turmeric responded significantly to the application of pressmud over control. Application of 20 t pressmud ha-1 along with RDF resulted in the highest plant height (97.4 cm), maximum leaf length (49.4 cm) and leaf breadth (12.9 cm). The highest number of rhizomes per plant (21.5), maximum fresh rhizome weight per plant (310.3 g) and fresh rhizome yield (34.5 t ha-1) were produced with the application of RDF + 20 t pressmud ha-1.The yield increment with RDF + 20 t pressmud ha-1 was 22.7%, over the control (RDF only).The growth, yield attributes and yield of turmeric rhizomes tended to decrease with higher levels of pressmud beyond 20 t pressmud ha-1. The control treatment performed the poorest as against different levels of pressmud application, recording the lowest values for all these characters. Economic assessment of different treatments revealed that the maximum net return (Rs. 4,78,757 ha-1) with the highest B:C ratio (2.95) was obtained with the application of RDF + 20 t pressmud ha-1 as compared to control with a net return of Rs. 3,54,677 ha-1 and B:C ratio of 2.51.

Six phenotypically diverse bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) parents were crossed in a full-diallel mating design to determine the extent of heterobeltiosis, mode of gene action and combining ability effects for 17 quantitative traits. Field experiments were carried out at C Block Farm, Kalyani, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal in two consecutive seasons in 2019. The predictability ratio indicated the preponderance of non-additive gene action for most of the traits. Based on general combining ability and mean performance, two genitors BCBG-1 and BCBG-11 were identified as potential parents. Based on mean performance, heterosis, and specific combining ability effects, the crosses BCBG-10 × BCBG-14 and BCBG-3 × BCBG-10 were identified as most promising. This investigation also suggested that bitter gourd breeders to include reciprocal crosses in hybridization programs as significant effect was noticed in the present study. Promising hybrids could also be exploited in segregating generations to identify pure lines with desirable traits. Commercially exploitable bitter gourd hybrids tolerant to downy mildew disease could be developed with involvement of a single parent tolerant to this disease. The results also suggested that commercial production of bitter gourd hybrids is a possible way to enhance the productivity, fruit quality and tolerance to downy mildew disease in bitter gourd.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Panwari village of Agra district to study the response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to sulphur under balanced and imbalanced fertilizer application. Treatments consisted of application of balanced (NPK) and imbalanced (NP and NK) fertilizer application along with sulphur. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with six treatments and three replications. Results revealed that balanced fertilizers (NPK) application proved superior in respect of growth yield and utilization of nutrients over imbalanced fertilizer application. The application of NPKS (150 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 40 kg K2O + 30 kg S ha-1) significantly increased the plant height (95 cm) length of ear (103.cm grain/ear (51.8), ear/m2 (50.8) and test weight (40.4g) compared with other treatments. Significantly higher grain (56.39 q ha-1) and straw (71.15 q ha-1) yield were recorded with NPKS treatment over other treatments. Application of NPKS significantly increased the uptake of nitrogen by wheat crop over other treatments Protein content in grain (13%) and protein yield (733.0 kg ha-1) were also higher with NPKS treatment. The lowest values of all these parameters were recorded under NK treatment. However, NK and NP treatments statistically at par in respect of growth and yield of wheat crop.
本试验于2015-16和2016-17两季在阿格拉县Panwari村进行，研究平衡和不平衡施肥条件下小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)对硫的响应。处理包括平衡(NPK)和不平衡(NP和NK)肥与硫的施用。试验采用随机区组设计，6个处理，3个重复。结果表明，平衡施肥在生长、产量和养分利用方面优于不平衡施肥。施用NPKS (150 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 40 kg K2O + 30 kg S hm -1)显著提高了株高(95 cm)和穗长(103 cm)。Cm粒/穗(51.8)、穗/m2(50.8)、试重(40.4g)。NPKS处理的籽粒产量(56.39 q ha-1)和秸秆产量(71.15 q ha-1)显著高于其他处理。氮肥处理显著提高了小麦对氮素的吸收，籽粒蛋白质含量(13%)和蛋白质产量(733.0 kg hm -1)均高于其他处理。在NK处理下，所有这些参数的值都最低。然而，NK和NP处理在小麦作物生长和产量方面具有统计学上的同等水平。
