A field investigation on direct seeded rice (DSR) was carried out in the two consecutive growing seasons of 2017 and 2018 at Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India for development validation soil test crop response (STCR) to fertilizer assessing performance STCR-treatments as compared general recommended dose (GRD) terms yield, nutrient uptake use efficiency, economics DSR. For producing 1 Mg rice-grain, required nutrients (N, P, K) were 2.01 kg, 0.44 3.06 kg; contribution from 22.05%, 37.34%,...
Integrated use of chemical fertilizers with organic manure is becoming a quite promising practice to maintain higher crop productivity and manage soil health, which otherwise deteriorated due intensive cultivation imbalanced fertilizer use. Thus, the present experiment was conducted for combined application inorganic manures yield nutrient uptake in basmati rice as well restore health. The treatments applied study involve T1: control, T2: Farmyard (15 t ha-1), T3: Poultry (6 T4: Press mud...
The impact of integrated nutrient management seems crucial for the sustainability crop production as revealed by studies on long-term experiments. It provided opportunity to monitor variations in yields and associated factors. impacts various strategies soil attributes a rice-wheat system have been researched under experiment that has running since 1983 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Further, positive correlation observed between properties such organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen...
Nanoparticles (NPs), due to their tailored properties, serve as potential sources of nutrients for the biofortification edible grains. Chickpeas are a valued legume crop, widely consumed in developing countries. Thus, improve Zn and Fe content chickpeas, two-year study was conducted examine foliar application mineral (0.5% Fe), chelated (0.3% Fe) nanoforms ZFN) fertilizers enhance chickpea. The 0.5% ZnO NPs + Fe2O3 (ZFN) at pre-flowering stage showed highest increase grain yield, uptake...
Restoring soil fertility in farming systems is essential to sustain a crop and its productivity. Thus, the present study was conducted assess residual effects of combined application fertilizers manures on yield, concentration uptake nutrients wheat under basmati rice-wheat cropping system. The treatments applied involve T1: control, T2: farmyard manure (15 t ha−1), T3: poultry (6 T4: press mud T5: rice straw compost T6: ha−1) + 50% recommended dose nitrogen (RDN), T7: RDN, T8: T9: T10: 75%...
A field experiment with rice at the Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India under a rice–wheat system was conducted to study long-term effect integrated nutrient management (INM) on physico-chemical and microbiological properties soil after 23 cycles cropping system. The comprised 14 treatment combinations viz., N, P K fertilizer application as individual component use chemical fertilizers in conjunction different organic sources substitute 25%...
Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiency-related health problems in humans may be solved by improving their concentration edible grains. The study, conducted 2015–16 2016–17, investigated the effects of soil foliar application Zn urea on grain Fe accumulation chickpea Soil ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha−1 + spray 0.5% at flowering pod formation stages resulted highest (45.06 & 44.69 mg kg−1 first second year study) (59.74 62.88 grain) content. Urea 2% also (41.12 40.26 (58.95 61.95 Grain yield protein content...
There is a need to improve the way in which crop residues and industrial organic wastes are managed also study their potential use agriculture for improving soil fertility biological activity. This evaluated effects of integrated (sewage sludge (SS) rice straw compost (RSC)) inorganic fertilizers on yield, enzymes activity, macro- micro-nutrients availability under rice–wheat cropping system after three consecutive years subtropical semi-arid area. Different combinations nitrogen two doses...
