ACTIVITY OF SOIL ENZYME AND MICROORGANISMS IN RHIZOSPHERE SOIL OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) AS INFLUENCED BY DIFFERENT WEED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2017 at the Main Agricultural Research Station, agriculture college farm, Raichur to study the “Activity of soil enzyme and microorganisms in rhizosphere soil of maize (Zea mays L.) as influenced by different weed management practices”. The experiment[r]

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form obligate symbiotic association with the roots of crop plants and play a critical role in enhancing plant growth under semi-arid climatic conditions. Present investigation has been taken up to characterize the isolated AM fungal species from rhizosphere soils o[r]

A field experiment was carried out at the College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during two consecutive Kharif and rabi seasons of the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 with a view to study the Yield and yield attributes of maize as influenced by organic man[r]

The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of 100 maize hybrids and to assess the association between yield and yield component traits of maize hybrids. The Experiment was carried out in randomized complete block designs (RCBD) with three replications in 2017 main cropping season. The analy[r]

Nitrogen is the key nutrient factor that influences soil fertility and productivity. It is the mineral nutrient that exists in different forms, but nitrate form is the most preferred form by plants. Irrespective of the form in which N is applied to soil, it undergoes transformation viz. mineralizati[r]

The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of potassium on growth, yield attributes, yields and economies of maize crop.

Rhizospheric microbes have immense potentiality to synthesize and release various compounds, that are regulating plant growth as well as physical and chemical texture of the soil. In this small piece of research, we evaluated the plant growth promoting activity of two different carriers such as char[r]

For yield and quality enhancement production techniques play a critical role. Among the various crop management strategies, weed management is an important practice which significantly contributes to yield and quality improvement of onion.

Effect of nutrient management modules on nitrogen (N) dynamics in sugarcane grown on a Calcareous entisol was studied during 2018-19. The experiment comprised of different levels of NPK fertilizers alone and in combination with Biocompost, Neem Cake Powder, Trichoderma inoculated trash and Rhizobium[r]

A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Adilabad during kharif, 2015 and 2016 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on dry matter production and nutrient uptake by baby corn in baby corn-hyacinth bean cropping system.

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]

Soil samples were drawn in rabi season of 2013-14 from an ongoing experiment initiated in 2011 on “Phosphorus management in wheat under different tillage practices in sequence with sorghum crop” at the Research Farm of CCS HAU, Hisar.

A field experiment was conducted in sandy clay loam soil of S.V. Agricultural College Farm, Tirupati with three levels of nitrogen viz., 75, 100, 125 % RDN and five biofertilizers viz., Azospirillum, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB), potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB), zinc solubilizing bac[r]

Proper assessment of available micronutrient status in soil is very important as their deficiency and toxicity range in soil is quite narrow. Deficiency of micronutrient may be due to low total content of elements caused by soil factors reducing their availability to plants. The present study was ta[r]

A study was conducted at the Agricultural Experimental Farm of Calcutta University at Baruipur, 24-Parganas (South), West Bengal, India, to record the impact of nine different organic mulches used during the cultivation of beet root crop, c.v.

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental issues that reduce growth, development and yield of the plants. Developing maize cultivars that can perform well in drought and other abiotic stress is an important goal throughout the world. Germination is one of the main growth stages for s[r]

The field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi season of 2106 to study the effect of different manurial practices on soil microbial activity under SRI method of rice planting. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with 8 treatments replicated thrice.

A field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 and 2014-15 in Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat-13.
