RESUMEN
The field experiment was carried out during the Zaid season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. To study the response of sulphur and zinc on the growth and yield of Pearl millet. The treatments consist of sulphur @ 20, 30 and 40 kg/ha and zinc @ 5, 10 and15 kg/ha. There were 9 treatments each replicated thrice. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%), available N (163.42 kg/ha), available P (21.96 kg/ha) and available K (256.48 kg/ha). Results revealed that the higher plant height (198.06 cm), plant dry weight (75.83 g/plant), crop growth rate (47.70 g/m2 /day), ear head length (25.2 cm), grains/ear head (2006.0), test weight (8.57 gm), higher grain yield (40.95 q/ha) and higher stover yield (40.95 q/ha) were significantly influenced with the application of sulphur 40 kg/ha + zinc 15 kg/ha. Higher gross returns (INR 92145.00/ha), higher net returns (INR 62365.00/ha) and a higher B: C ratio (2.09) were also recorded in treatment-9 (sulphur 40 kg/ha+zinc 15 kg/ha).
RESUMEN
A research trail was conducted in Kharif 2022, at Crop research form, SHUATS, Prayagraj. To study the “Effect of nitrogen and weed management practices on growth and yield of Blackgram” (Vigna mungo L.). The treatments consist of three levels of nitrogen (15, 30 and 45 kg/ha) and weed management practices (Hand weeding twice (20 & 40 DAS), Pendimethalin (0.75ml/ha) Pre-emergence (5 DAS), Imazethapyr (75g/ha) Post-emergence (25 DAS) are included. Experiment were laid out in randomized block design with 10 treatments each replicated thrice. The result showed that viz: significantly higher plant height (64.49 cm), number of nodules/plant (23.80), number of branches/plant (6.40), pods/plant (32.13), seeds/pod (8.20), grain yield (1223.33 kg/ha), Stover yield (2472.67 kg/ha), lower weed population/m2 (4.06) recorded in (treatment 9) Nitrogen (45 kg/ha) + Imazethapyr (75 g/ha) Post-emergence.
RESUMEN
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. To study the Response of Nitrogen and spacing on growth and fodder yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). The treatments consist of Nitrogen 60,80,100 kg/ha and spacing of S1- 35×15cm, S2- 45×15cm, S3- 55×15cm. There were 10 treatments each replicated thrice. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%) available N (163.42 kg/ha), available P (21.96 kg/ha) and available K (256.48 kg/ha). Results revealed that the higher plant height (186.96 cm), higher plant dry weight (52.78 g/plant), higher crop growth rate (55.0 g/m2/day) and higher green fodder yield (28.36 and 22.43 t/ha) for 1st and 2nd cutting were significantly influenced with Nitrogen 100 kg/ha along with the spacing 55×15cm.
RESUMEN
A field experiment was carried out in Zaid 2022 at the Department of Agronomy's Agricultural Research Farm in Prayagraj (U.P).The three planting geometries used in the experiment are 30 cm x 10 cm, 40 cm x 10 cm, and 50 cm x 10 cm. There are three nitrogen management treatments used in the experiment: 50% of the Recommended Dose of Nitrogen (RDN) through inorganic fertiliser, 50% of the RDN through inorganic fertiliser in combination with 50% of Nitrogen provided through FYM with Azotobacter seed inoculation, and 50% of the RDN through inorganic fertiliser. Ten treatments were duplicated three times in the randomised block design of the experiment. Findings showed that 30x10cm spacing ,Maximum plant height (124.48 cm), dry weight (29.85 g), number of capsules/plant (78.69), number of seeds/capsule (36.39), and seed yield (552.38 kg/ha) were obtained with 5% RDN + 50% N via FYM + Biofertilizer (Azotobacter).
RESUMEN
Background: Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) is a significant food and livestock crop in the semi-arid tropics. Pearl millet is a crucial part of the nation's food security because of its capacity to thrive in drier and less fertile regions, where other grains have a comparative disadvantage. Objectives: Effect of potassium and plant growth regulators on growth parameters and yield of pearl millet Methods: With the goal of the study effect of potassium and plant growth regulators on growth and yield of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Var. NBH- 5658 under a Randomized block design(RBD) with 10 treatments (T1-T10) The experiment's findings showed that a potassium concentration of 60 kg/ha combined with an NAA concentration of 100 ppm and a triacontanol concentration of 500 ppm led to the highest plant height (221.20 cm), dry weight (49.42 cm), and yield parameters for ear head length (20.50 cm), number of grains per ear head (1970), Test weight (9.38 g), grain yield (2.72 t/ha), and stover yield (3.78 t/ha). Conclusion: Farmers found that using potassium at a rate of 60 kg/ha in conjunction with NAA at a concentration of 100 ppm and Triacontanol at a concentration of 500 ppm produced the best results, with plant dimensions of (221.20 cm) in height, (49.42 gm) in plant dry weight, (1972) grains per ear head, (9.38 g) test weight, (2.68 ta/ha) in grain yield, and (3.26 ta/ha) in stover yields, respectively.
RESUMEN
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to study treatments consisting of three levels of Molybdenum viz. Mo 1 kg, 1.5 kg and 2 kg/ha and three levels of Sulphur viz. 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.28 %), available N (225 kg/ha), available P (19.50 kg/ha) and available K (92 kg/ha). Ten treatments were replicated thrice and laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that treatment nine (Molybdenum2kg/ha+ Sulphur 30kg/ha) recorded significantly higher plant height (42.54 cm), number of branches/plants (6.93), number of leaves/plants (15.00), plant dry weight (5.27 g), number of nodules/plants (20.60), number of pods/plant (27.6), number of seeds/pod (9.53), seed yield (1.25 t/ha), stover yield (2.87), harvest index (30.3%), gross returns (87500.00), net returns (47281.52)and B:C ratio (1.18) as compared to other treatments.
