Field experiment was conducted during the two consecutive kharif season of 2009-10 and 2010-11 on sandy loam soil of Varanasi to assess the production potential and nutrient uptake of quality protein maize hybrid with the application of different levels of nitrogen and sulphur in dryland condition of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design and replicated thrice, in which main plot were allotted four nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N/ha) and two quality protein maize hybrid (Shaktiman 2 and Shaktiman 4) and three levels of sulphur (15, 30 and 45 kg S/ha) in sub-plots. Results revealed that growth, yield attributes, yield, and economics of quality protein maize hybrid was significantly increased with application of increasing levels of nitrogen and sulphur up to 150 kg N/ha. Application of 45 kg S/ha obtained highest grain yield during 1st and 2nd years, respectively over 15 kg S/ha. The highest gross return was also recorded under the same treatments. Hence, it may be concluded that quality protein hybrid Shaktiman 4 along with 150 kg N applied/ha with 45 kg S/ha recorded significantly highest yield and gross income under dryland conditions of EasternUttar Pradesh, India.

Soluble Fertilizer

Background: The availability of macro and micronutrients added to the soil are affected by soil environmental factors leading to various losses. When a similar amount of fertilizer is applied through foliar application, its use efficiency is increased many folds. In the sandy loam soil, foliar applied fertilizers are up to 20 times more effective as compared to soil applied fertilizers. Water soluble fertilizer of 19:19:19 grade N: P: K is totally water soluble and present in crystalline powder form. It can be applied to the crop by fertigation or through foliar spraying. Instant uptake of nutrients by the plants resulting in significant and quick improvement in crop growth. Humic acid when applied to field converted into readily available humic substances which directly or indirectly effect the plant growth. Foliar application of nutrients along with soil application of nutrients increase the yield and to improve the quality of cereal crops .Keeping the aforesaid facts in consideration, the present investigation was carried out to study effect of NPK water soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and yield attributes and nutrient uptake of ragi. Methods: The present investigation was carried out during January – May 2018 at farmers field, kamarajapuram village, Katpadi Taluk, Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India. The experiments were laid out in RBD (Randomized Block Design), Ragi [Elusine coracana (L.) Gaertn], CO-14 variety were taken into study. The experimental soil was sandy loam, 10 treatments with replicated thrice. The soil and plant sample was collected periodically proceed with standard analytical and statistical method followed. Result: Our investigations the soil and foliar feeding of nutrients along with water soluble fertilizer and humic acid combined treatment T10 (Soil application of 50% RDN + foliar spray of 50% RDN and 100% P and K through water soluble fertilizer [on 20 and 40 DAT] + foliar spray of humic acid 0.1% [on 20 and 40 DAT]) was significantly superior in performance with respect to growth, yield attributes, quality and nutrient uptake by ragi. It can be recommended to farmers to achieve more benefit from finger millet.

A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2012-13 in sandy loam soil at Central Potato Research Station, Patna to study the effects of seaweed saps on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of Potato. The foliar spray was applied at 45, 60 and 75 days after planting at different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 % v/v) of seaweed extracts namely Kappaphycus( K Sap) and Gracilaria (G Sap). Foliar applications of seaweed sap significantly enhanced large and medium grade as well as total tuber yield. Increment in total tuber yield of potato with application of 7.5% K sap + recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), 5% G sap + RDF, and 10% G sap + RDF) over control were in tune of 3.95 t ha-1 ,4.88 and 4.07 t ha-1 respectively. Applications of 7.5 % K sap+ RDFand 5% G sap + RDF resulted in increase by 15.8 and 34.9% in large grade tuber yield and 11.5% and 22.5% in medium grade tuber yield, respectively compared to control. Improved nutrient uptake (NPK) was also observed with seaweed extract.

The influences of various nitrogen and potassium fertilizer levels on the growth, yield, sugar content, and tissue mineral concentrations of carrot (Daucus carota) were investigated. Nitrogen (0.0, 7.3, 14.7, 22.0, 29.4, 36.7 kg/ha) and potassium (0, 4.6, 9.2, 18.4, 27.5, 36.7 kg/ha) were applied to the sandy loam soil prior to seed planting. Plants were grown without irrigation. The total root yield was the highest (68.2 t/ha) at a nitrogen level of 29.4 kg/ha. Potassium did not affect either the total root yield or the number of marketable roots. Root sugar contents were slightly higher when plants were grown with potassium levels at 18.4 kg/ha or higher as compared to lower K application rates. Root sugar contents were unaffected by nitrogen levels. The relationships between the leaf petiole sap nitrogen and potassium concentrations and the shoot dry mass concentrations of N, K, and other minerals were determined.

The study was conducted on sandy loam soil at IAAS Rampur, Chitwan during May to September, 2012 to evaluate the effect of different combinations of biogas slurry and urea on production of okra, laid out in a two-factor RCBD with three replications. Altogether ten treatments consist of two varieties namely Arka Anamika - open pollinated and Jaikisan-62-F1 hybrid and four different levels of biogas slurry and urea combination (urea75%+biogas slurry25%, urea50%+biogas slurry50%, urea25%+biogas slurry75% and biogas slurry100%) and only inorganic chemical (75:60:50 kg NPK/ha) as control. All treatments were based on fulfillment of required nitrogen for the crop. The results showed that application of urea50%+biogas slurry50% increased plant height, leaf area, number of leaves and number of nodes at final harvesting. Treatment urea50% + biogas slurry50% allow maximum number of pickings/plant (23.2) and number of fruits/plant (23.5) resulting highest yield/plant (376.3 g). Among the varieties, Jaikisan-62 is superior in terms of growth, yield and post harvest character than Arka Anamika. The net return (Rs. 474,136/ha) and mean B/C ratio was highest (2.59) in Jaikisan-62 treated with urea50%+biogas slurry50%. So, for the commercial production hybrid variety is suggested.

A field experiment was conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during 2010-2011 to determine the effects and economic performance of urea super granule (USG) and prilled urea (PU) in terms of growth and yield of broccoli and to find out the optimum and economic doses of USG and PU for broccoli in Shallow Red-Brown Terrace Soil under Madhupur Tract. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications having 17 treatment combinations constituted with different levels of urea super granule (USG) and prilled urea (PU). Result showed that yield of broccoli increased significantly with increasing rate of USG and PU. The treatments containing 160 kg N from USG and 180 kg N from PU exhibited the best performance on yield and yield contributing characters of broccoli having the head yield of 12.9 and 10.6 ton ha-1, respectively. All the yield contributing characters and the economic profitability were favorably correlated with these high yield performing treatments. The performance of USG in terms of growth, yield and yield attributes, head quality (compactness coefficient) and economic profitability was found significantly higher as compared to that of PU. Therefore, USG @ 160 kg N ha-1 and PU @ 180 kg N ha-1 alongwith other recommended fertilizerscould be suggested for broccoli production in terms of yield and economics. From quadratic equation USG @ 163 and 160 kg N ha-1 and PU @ 169 and 160 kg N ha-1 alongwith other recommended fertilizerscould be suggested as optimum and economic doses for broccoli production in Silty Clay Loam Soil of Madhupur Tract.The Agriculturists 2016; 14(2) 95-112
