The study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Soil Science Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam Campus. The treatments studied were paper ash (PA) and wood ash (WA) of rates 4.8 kgha-1 respectively and calcium carbonate (CA) of rate 120g (equivalent of 300kgha-1) and control (CO). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and was replicated four times. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means were separated using LSD at 5% alpha level. The result recorded for the study showed that root and pod weight of bambara groundnut were not significant among the treatments but values obtained from treated plots were better than the untreated plots. Soil properties tested were greatly improved by the lime materials when compared their values on the control soil. Hence the results indicated that the lime materials especially the wood ash and paper ash could be ideal for famers as they are cheap affordable and available since it has proved through this study that these lime materials could improve crop yield and soil nutrient status and characteristics.

<p>The bleaching process at the crude palm oil (CPO) refinery stage is one of the processes sufficient to determine the quality of the cooking oil produced. CPO is refined to eliminate the unacceptable substances before consumption. The process produces spent bleaching earth (SBE) and deoiled bleaching earth (DBE) classified as hazardous and toxic material waste. However, according to several studies, SBE and DBE have the potential as filler materials in NPK fertilizers. This study aimed to study the effect of SBE and DBE filler-based NPK fertilization on the soil nutrient status and growth characteristics of soybean, thereby determining if the SBE and DBE materials can be used to replace some of the filler components in the NPK fertilizers. The study was a single factor experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of four blocks as replications. The treatments tested were fertilization of 10% bentonite clay mineral filler-based NPK (control), 5% bentonite clay mineral + 5% SBE filler-based NPK and 5% bentonite clay mineral + 5% DBE filler-based NPK. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and tested using LSD test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the SBE and DBE materials could partially replace the filler components in bentonite clay filler-based NPK fertilizers, which were shown to have the same effect on soil chemical properties and levels of heavy metals after treatment, levels and uptake of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in plants tissues and growth characteristic in the form of total dry weight.</p>

Order to study the effect of density, the control weed and various proportion corn (704 Variety) and peanut (Goli Variety) intercropping an experiment was conducted in 2012 in Research station of agriculture, University of Zabol. The experiment design was factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications. Experiment factors consisted of planting proportions in 4 levels (sole crop of corn, 50% corn + 50% peanut, 100% corn + 100% peanut and sole crop of peanut), control weed in 3 levels (non-weeding, once-weeding and twice-weeding) and the space between rows in 2 level (40 and 50 cm) has been considered. The evaluated Characteristics in environmental sources are (Photosynthetic Active Radiation, Temperature and soil Moisture), the nutrients of soil include (N, K, Na, Mg, Ca, and C) and to evaluate intercropping of pure was used land equivalent ratio and economical yield. All Characteristics of study were affected by planting system.There was significant interaction between planting system, weeding and density in the absorption of light, temperature and moisture of soil. The results showed that photosynthesis active radiation absorbed by the intercropping was higher than sole crop in both plants. The results showed that changes in soil nutrient capacity of single elements (Na and K) in the treatment of mixed and monoculture peanut was more than monoculture corn and divalent elements (Ca and Mg) in mixed and monoculture corn more than mixed replacement and peanut monoculture. The highest land equivalent ratio (1.048) was accounted additive intercropping. Generally the mixed cultures with increasing density and control weed caused increase soil fertility and amount of soil nutrients after harvest. Treatment 100% Corn +100% peanut was the best treatment because using sources and increasing soil fertility and crop yield in comparison to sole crop.

AbstractAn experiment was conducted at Field Laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to find out the effect ofdhainchaincorporation on subsequent rice crop yield and postharvest soil nutrient status. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design having three replications. Ninedhainchaaccessions were used as experimental materials along with a control (withoutdhainchaplant). Seeds ofdhainchaaccessions were sown in experimental plot @ 60 kg ha−1. Sixty days olddhainchaplants were mixed up with soil. Soil samples were collected twice, before sowing ofdhainchaseeds and after rice crop harvest. Forty five days old healthy rice seedlings were transplanted in the well prepareddhainchaincorporated plots at the spacing of 15 cm x 25 cm (plant-plant x row-row). The pH and nutrient status were improved indhainchaincorporated soil over the control. The highest grain yield (5.81 t ha−1) was obtained fromdhainchaAcc. 33 incorporated plot followed by Acc. 25 (5.73 t ha−1) and the lowest in control (4.35 t ha−1). Due to the incorporation ofdhainchabiomass in soil, the rice grain yield increased 7.82% to 33.56% over the control. Among thedhainchaaccessions, number 33 showed the best performance in terms of influencing grain yield. A precise conclusion to be built up through collection of large number of germplasms from Bangladesh is needed.

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on soil properties and maize yield. Two sites at Apatapiti layout, South gate of the Federal University of Technology Akure were used as the experimental sites. The experiment was designed in a randomized-complete-block design arrangement with three replications. The treatments consisted of urea applied at four levels of split application (0kgha-1, 60kgha-1 basal application, 30kgha-1 basal application+ 30kgha-1 applied at 15 days after planting, 30kgha-1basal application + 20kgha-1applied at 15 days after planting + 10kgha-1applied at 30 days after planting). The plot size was 2 m x 2 m with 1 m space between plots and blocks. Maize (Zea mays L. var. TZB-SR) was planted at 75 cm by 25 cm spacing and 10 were sampled per unit for yield parameters. Split application of urea (30kgha-1basal application + 20kgha-1applied at 15 days after planting + 10kgha-1applied at 30 days after planting) significantly (p>0.05) increased N content of the soil. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference with regard to other nutrients. Soil pH was significantly (p>0.05) reduced as a result of urea application in all treatments. Split urea fertilizer application retained a considerable amount of nitrogen in soil even after the harvest of maize. Exchangeable cations were not significantly different from one another as well as CEC. Split application of urea (30kgha-1basal application + 20kgha-1applied at 15 days after planting + 10kgha-1applied at 30 days after planting) gave the highest grain yield of maize for both sites. Also, plant biomass of both split application were better than the basal application and control.

Tidal swampland is potential but negligible land characterized by poor soil fertility. The study aimed to determine the effect of fertilization packages on the growth and yield of Inpara 2 rice in the tidal field. This research was conducted on the tidal field of Mon Mata Village, Krueng Sabee Sub District, Aceh Jaya, from July to November 2018. The study was designed in a Randomized Block Design three treatments, and three plot replications of 10 m x 10 m. The treatments comprised of three fertilization packages, namely: Farmer’s package A (Urea 100 kg ha–1 + SP 36 50 kg ha–1); Package soil nutrient status B (Urea 200 kg ha–1 + SP36 100 kg ha–1 + KCl 50 kg ha–1), and Recommended package C (Urea 200 kg ha–1 + SP36 100 kg ha–1 + KCl 100 kg ha–1 + 1000 kg dolomite ha–1). The experiment showed that all three fertilization packages significantly impacted plant height, panicle length, number of panicles per hill, grain per panicle, and grain yield. The recommended fertilization package C gave the highest yield (5.20 t ha–1), followed by Package B (4.78 t ha–1) and Package A (3.55 t ha–1). The research suggests that Inpara 2 rice and fertilizers, according to the recommendations, are needed to increase rice productivity in tidal fields.
