SOIL MICRONUTRIENT STATUS AND ITS UPTAKE IN LITTLE MILLET (PANICUM SUMATRENSE) AS INFLUENCED BY INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT AND SEED PRIMING

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production is often affected due to micronutrient status in soil. Micronutrient deficiency in soil including Boron is very much prominent in India, due to prevalent environmental and soil conditions (viz., wide variation in soil pH, organic matter, salt stress, supply of[r]

Soil potassium supplementation relies heavily on the use of chemical fertilizer, which has a considerable negative impact on the environment. There is a growing need to turn back to nature or sustainable agents that promote evergreen agriculture. Among such natural bio-agents, the potassium solubili[r]

A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm of C S Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to find out suitable row ratio of linseed + lentil/barley in intercropping systems under rainfed condition.

Nutrients are essential for crop growth. Plants absorb nutrients from soil. The quantity and availability of these nutrients varies in various scales, between region, field or within field also. To manage this variation in soil nutrient status precision farming is a technology currently available fo[r]

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2015. The results of the study indicated the application of phosphorus up to 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded significantly higher number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed and straw yield, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake in se[r]

India is a developing nation practicing intensive agriculture for fulfilling the needs of more than eighteen million peoples, for which huge and imbalance amount of fertilizer has been used. Consequently, soil quality deteriorates and inevitable loss of soil microbial diversity. In recent years zeol[r]

The present study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ganjam-II during 2015 and 2016 in rabi in three villages Khalingi, Jura, Sunathara.

Sustainable agriculture has become a burning issue due to “energy crisis” and “environmental protection”. One aspect of sustainable agriculture is Integrated Nutrient Management (INM). Many regions in India like Kashmir, Himachal and other hilly regions have huge potential for quality flower product[r]

A field experiment was conducted in Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat district, Assam, India to understand the effectiveness of inter-cropping system and chemical weed management on nutrient uptake by ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.), inter-crop and weeds, during 2013-14 and 2014-15.

A field experiment was carried out on “Nutrient content in soybean plants as influenced by liquid biofertilizers (Bradyrhizobium and PSB)”. It was conducted in Kharif season during the year 2013-14 at the research farm of Oil Seed Research Station, Latur, Maharashtra, in factorial randomized block d[r]

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]
