RESUMO
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season in 2022-23 at vegetable research farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj (UP). The experiment consisted of nine treatments combinations with three plants spacing viz. (i) 30 x 45cm, (ii) 45 x 60cm and (iii) 45 x 45cm and three levels of sowing date viz. (i) November 5th 2022, (ii) November 12th 2022, (iii) November 19th 2022, were included in the study in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The growth, yield and quality contributing all characters were significantly influenced by the treatments. The highest plant height, number of leaves, weight of head per plant, chlorophyll content and length of outer leaves (cm) as recorded in T6 (D2S3) (plants sowing November 12th 2022 with spacing 45 x 45cm) followed by T3 (D1S3) and lowest in T7 (D3S1). The maximum weight of head per m2, yield per plot (79.6kg) and yield per hectare (89.1t ha) were recorded -1 in T4 (D2S1) (plants sowing November 12th 2022 with spacing 30 x 45cm) followed by T1 (D1S1) and minimum weight of head per m2, yield per plot (35.6kg) and yield per hectare (199.0 t ha-1) were recorded in T8 (D3S2) of Chinese cabbage.
RESUMO
The experimentation entitled Effect of different organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield and quality of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) during kharif (Rainy) season at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, and PRAYAGRAJ (UP) during 2022. Due to the heavy application of chemical and fertilizer, land and water bodies are getting polluted So, to reduce the degradation of soil, we have used combination of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and thirteen treatment combinations. F1 Hybrid Covi Plus was selected for this study. We have found that application of 75% NPK and 25% of vermicompost respectively gave highest yield (19.57 t/ha).
RESUMO
An experiment was conducted on urdbean during kharif 2021 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Ummedganj, Kota (Rajasthan). The experiment comprised of 10 treatments viz. (Control, 75% RDF, 100% RDF, 75% RDF + Rhizobium @ 600 g ha-1 seed inoculation, 75% RDF + PSB @ 600 g ha-1 seed inoculation, 75% RDF + Rhizobium @ 600 g ha-1 + PSB @ 600 g ha-1, 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage, 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage + Rhizobium @ 600 g ha-1, 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage + PSB @ 600 g ha-1, 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage + Rhizobium 600 g ha-1+ PSB @ 600 g ha-1) was carried out in randomized block design with three replications. Significantly higher plant height at 60 DAS (25.28 cm) and at harvest (34.43 cm), nodules plant-1 (29.22) at 45 DAS, nodule fresh weight (86.31 mg plant-1) at 45 DAS, chlorophyll content (3.19 mg g-1) at 45 DAS and dry matter accumulation (2.71, 5.94 and 9.99 g plant-1) at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest were recorded with application of 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage + Rhizobium 600 g ha-1+ PSB @ 600 g ha-1 in urdbean over rest of the treatments. Among these treatments, application of 75% RDF + 0.1% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 at pre flowering and pod formation stage + Rhizobium 600 g ha-1+ PSB @ 600 g ha-1 produced maximum seed yield (1269.30 kg ha-1) of urdbean.
RESUMO
An experiment was conducted on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) during three consecutive years of zaid (2016 to 2018) at Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Kota (Rajasthan). The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations including three irrigation regimes (IW/CPE ratio 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2) and four fertility amendments along with foliar spray of bio-regulator (100 % RDF, 100 % RDF + salicylic acid 100 ppm, 125 % RDF + salicylic acid 100 ppm and 150% RDF + salicylic acid 100 ppm) were under taken in split plot design with four replications. The maximum grain yield (930 kg ha-1) was recorded under application of IW/CPE ratio 1.2 over IW/CPE ratio 1.0 and 0.8. Significantly higher WUE (2.04 and 2.03 kg ha-mm-1) and WP (0.204 and 0.203 kg m-3) were recorded under irrigation regime of IW/CPE ratio 1.2 and 1.0 in comparison to IW/CPE ratio 0.8. Significantly higher net return (Rs. 37409/- ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.89) were recorded under irrigation regime of IW/CPE ratio 1.2 over irrigation regimes of IW/CPE ratio 1.0 and 0.8. The maximum grain yield (830 and 840 kg ha-1) was recorded with the application of 125 % RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm remained on par with 150 % RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm, but it was found significantly superior over application of over application of 100 % RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm and 100 % RDF. Significantly higher water use efficiency (2.06 kg ha-mm-1) and water productivity (0.206 kg m-3) were recorded in mungbean with the application of 125 % RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm over application of 100% RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm and 100 % RDF in mungbean. Application of 125 % RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm gave maximum net return (Rs. 31272/- ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.59) over application of 100% RDF + foliar spray of salicylic acid 100 ppm and 100 % RDF.
