EFFECT OF OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS OF SELECTED TILLAGE TOOLS IN SOIL BIN

Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on principles of minimum soil disturbance through zero or minimum tillage operations, residue retention on soil surface and crop diversification which not only improves healthy functioning of soil but also enhances nutrient availability, its biological quality[r]

Surface soil of the farmer’s field from different village of Raisinghnagar block and
Sri Vijaynagar of Sri Ganganagar district, were sampled randomly to a depth of 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm 30-45 cm totally, 24 soil samples were c[r]

Effect of conditions of oil hydrogenation on the selectivity of the process has been studied. Process parameters ensuring high degree of selectivity have been determined.

India is the second largest producer of groundnuts in the world. The major growing state for groundnut is Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Uttar Pradesh. The world average yield is around 1300 kg ha-1 and about 70% of the world ground[r]

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during Kharif 2013 to study the effect of phosphorus rich compost on yield, nutrient uptake and nutrient status in soil after harvest of maize.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a wide range of root colonizing bacteria with the capacity to enhance plant growth by increasing seed emergence, producing lytic enzyme and bacteriocin. Soil or seed application of PGPR have been used to enhance growth of the several crops as well as t[r]

An experiment was conducted with 32 cultivars of dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) to study correlation and path analysis among the yield attributing traits and their effect. Correlation among component characters showed that flower yield per plant had a highly significant positive genotypic correlation[r]

Application of different bio-fertilizers alone or in combination with others as seed, soil and foliar spray revealed that the bio-fertilizers have stimulatory effect on germination, sprouting behaviour and growth parameter of potato.

In the present investigation rice genotype HUR-105 was selected to see the effect of seed priming on yield attributes and grain quality of rice. Priming of seeds has been done with distilled water (hydro), Mg(NO3)2 salt (halo) and kinetin (T3), salicylic acid (hormonal) and different parameters, suc[r]

The effect of the introduction time of Trichoderma harzianum into soil on its biocontrol potential against Meloidogyne javanica on tomato plants was evaluated in a greenhouse pot experiment. Seven introduction times (inoculations) of T. harzianum were tested. The fungus was added simultaneously and[r]

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed inoculation of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus on growth parameters, nutrient uptake and yield of sweet corn.

Fomesafen is widely used as herbicide for weed control. Fomesafen have both foliar and soil activity. It mostly control broadleaves. Fomesafen is labeled for postemergence applications to soybeans, peanuts, and rice. Although bronzing or burning of soybean leaf tissue is evident after application, y[r]

Spatial distribution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were studied from 99 coconut farmers covering 195 acres representing different irrigation situations in Chikkapattanagere of Chikkamagaluru district, Doddaghatta of Davangere district, Siriyur of Shivamogga district and Madhure of Chitradurg[r]

The present study was thus planned to analyse the effect of soybean varieties under different land configurations in mollisols of Himalayan tarai on soil moisture status. The experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2017, in C5 block of N.E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant Univ[r]

Soil fertility evaluation of an Agricultural field is an important aspect in context of sustainable agricultural production. The macro and micro nutrients govern fertility of soils and control the growth yield of crops. The main aim of this study was to evaluate soil fertility status from Kanchanpur[r]

A comprehensive study was conducted on the distribution of earthworms and soil analysis in the Polluted area of Palakkad district. There are some exotic and native peregrine species which has the inherent ability to withstand in disturbed habitats. Such earthworm species have high medicinal value du[r]

A two year field study was conducted at RRS, Paiyur to study the influence of co inoculation of biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium, Phosphobacteria and VAM on soil microflora, plant biometric observation and yield parameters at periodical interval. Treatments consisted of STCR recommended dose of fertil[r]

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Annigeri, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during rabi season of 2015-16 under rainfed condition to study the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) practices on nutrients uptake by safflower and nutrients status[r]

An investigation was carried out at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Science and Technology of Jammu during 2013-14 and 2014-15, to assess the influence of 4 tillage systems and 3 weed-control practices on weed dynamics and productivity in maize-wheat cropping sequence. In maize, grain yield[r]

In this respect, soil FDA is an important indicator of soil microbial activity and biological health of soil. The aim of this research was to assess the effects of crop residue retention and P fertilization on FDA activity in soil.
