Agronomic responses of three potted Crysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) varieties to inorganic and organic fertilizers

Potted chrysanthemums as one of high-demand potted ornamental plants are mostly cultivated using inorganic fertilizers. The organic fertilizers use as an alternative and complementary to inorganic fertilizers on potted chrysanthemum cultivation needs to be studied further. This study aims to determine the response of inorganic and organic fertilizer to agronomic characters of three potted Chrysanthemum varieties. The research was carried out in West Sumatra AIAT’s greenhouse from October to December 2020 using split-plot design with three replications. The main plots were fertilizer treatments (control, inorganic fertilizers, Bio-urine organic fertilizers) and sub-plots consisted of three potted chrysanthemum varieties (Armita, Avanthe, and Naura). Bio-urine organic fertilizers nutrient content N, P and K. The results showed that agronomic character of plant height, leaf length, leaf width, and the number of internodes resulted from type of fertilization treatments were significantly different. The highest plant height, leaf width, and number of internodes were significantly achieved in inorganic fertilizers then followed by Bio-urine organic fertilizers and control. The highest growth for the characters of plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, and flower diameter were attained from Avanthe. The interaction between fertilizers types and varieties was not significantly different in all observed characters.

An experiment was carried out using eight double cross F1s (DCF1s) as lines and two testers to obtain sixteen Line ×Tester hybrids for the evaluation of major growth and flowering traits thereby to understand the breeding potentiality of the parental lines. The performance of growth and flowering traits of all twenty-six genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed all the genotypes were significantly different for all agro-morphological traits under study. The estimated general combining ability (GCA) effects showed that parent 5(P5), were superior for plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, days to flowering and attitude of floral axis followed by parent 2(P2) for leaf length, leaf width, days to flowering and attitude of floral axis and parent7 (P7) for number of flower, flower diameter, bud length and attitude for floral axis. Likewise; tester 1 found to be best combiner with significant GCA effect for almost all growth and flowering traits (except number of leaves). The plant height, leaf width, number of flower and attitude of floral axis showed prevailing additive gene action while stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, days to flowering, flower diameter and bud length indicated predominance of dominance gene action. We can conclude that parent P5, parent P2 and parent P7 can be used as good mother lines and the tester 1, as good donor for the seed production. SAARC J. Agri., 17(1): 175-187 (2019)

The effect of application of sole organic, inorganic fertilizers and their combinations was investigated on the growth and biological yield of Fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) at the Teaching and Research Farm, Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun state, Nigeria. Ten treatments were involved namely: No fertilizer (control), 100kgN/ha as Sulphate of Ammonia, SA (21%N), 100kgN/ha as Composted Maize Cob, CMC (0.97%N), 100kgN/ha as Composted Saw Dust, CSD (1.01%N), 50:50 CMC/SA combination, 50:50 CSD/SA combination, 50:50 CMC/CSD combination, 75:25 CMC/SA combination, 75:25 CSD/SA combination, 75:25 CMC/CSD combination, the treatments were replicated four times using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Seedling emergence, Leaf area, Leaf number, Plant height and dry matter weight of the crops were assessed. On the Plant height and Leaf number, application of 75:25 CMC/SA combination resulted in taller plants and more leafiness at 3 WAP compared to 75:25 CMC/CSD combination. The application of 100kgN/ha as sole Sulphate of Ammonia, gave the least leaf number and the shortest plant at 4WAP. The sole application of any of the organic fertilizers 100kgN/ha has proven to be superior in terms of (vegetative yield) of Telfairia occidentalis (ugu-elu) than its combination of each of the organic fertilizer with sulphate of ammonia.Keywords: Organic fertilizer, Inorganic fertilizer, Fluted pumpkin, Yield.

Mustard greens (Brassica rapa var. Parachinensis) are known vegetables among consumers and have high economic value. Besides being used as a vegetable, mustard greens are also used for the treatment of various diseases so that they are included in the vegetable group which has an important role in meeting the needs of food, nutrition and medicine for the community. To increase the growth and production of green mustard plants, it is necessary to apply liquid bio-organic fertilizers that are sourced from organic materials with good nutrients needed by plants, one of which is water hyacinth weed. To improve the quality of water hyacinth liquid bio-organic fertilizer, it can be applied with the bio-activator Trichoderma sp which functions to produce liquid bio-organic fertilizer with high nutrients for plant growth and production. The purpose of this study was to determine the growth of mustard greens including plant height, number of leaves and leaf width and to test the production of mustard greens including caratenoids and vitamin C content. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor, namely fertilizer. Liquid organic (POC) water hyacinth fermented using Trichoderma sp. which consists of 5 levels of fertilization doses, namely A (0 ml / L), B (8 ml / L), C (16 ml / L), D (24 ml/L) and E (32 ml/L) with 5 repetitions. Based on the results of analysis of variance, it showed that the dosage treatment of water hyacinth bio-organic fertilizer with the bio-activator Trichoderma sp had a significant effect on p <0.05 on plant height, leaf width and the number of green mustard leaves at 4 weeks of age 21 day after planting. with the results of the chemical content test which showed that treatment E (32 ml/L) contained Karetenoid (0,2596 mg/100g of material) and vitamin C (0.2784 mg/100 g of material). The best dose based on the results of the study was treatment E (32 ml/L) which had a higher average plant height, leaf width and number of leaves compared to other treatments and had high vitamin A and vitamin C content. To increase the growth and production of mustard greens and other horticultural cultivation processes, it is advisable to use liquid bio-organic fertilizer for water hyacinth with the bio-activator Thricoderma sp as an alternative to natural, environmentally friendly liquid organic fertilizer.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the Lilium leichtlinii var maximowiczii germplasm collected from the different natural habitats from all over Korea. In total 30 accessions were studied for nine traits viz. plant height, leaf length, leaf width, the numbers of flowers, flower diameter, length of outer tepal, width of outer tepal, the number of leaf burn, and days to flowering in randomized block design with three replications. The ANOVA revealed highly significant variability prevailing among the investigated genotypes for almost all studied traits (except leaf width). The higher estimated value of GCV, PCV, heritability (H2), and genetic advance as percent of the mean was obtained for the number of flowers and leaf burn. The moderate to high GCV and PCV coupled with higher heritability estimates (H2) and GAM were found for plant height and flower diameter. Progeny selection would be effective as the prevalence of additive gene effect for these traits. Besides, leaf width, leaf length, length of outer tepal, the width of outer tepal, and days to flowering traits were possessed moderate to low GCV and PCV value coupled with the moderate value of heritability estimate with the low level of GAM proved to be the prevalence of non-additive genetic effect thereby indicating the necessity of alternative breeding approach for these traits improvement and breeding scheme. For the former group of traits breeding hybridization and selection would be an effective method, and primarily mean performance of these traits would be very handy for the decision of selection.

Two species of mint Mentha piperitha (peppermint) and M. arvensis (Japanese mint) are widely cultivated in Iran, but their response to fertilizer regime has not been evaluated so far. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizer treatments [Control, 100% urea (95 kg N ha−1), 75% urea (71.25 kg N ha-1) + 25% vermicompost (3.3 t ha-1), 50% urea (47.5 kg N ha-1) + 50% vermicompost (6.75 t ha-1), 25% urea (23.75 kg N ha-1) + 75% vermicompost (10.1 t ha-1) and 100% vermicompost (13.5 ton ha-1)] on essential oil contents, yield and yield components of the two species of mint. Peppermint provided grater plant height, number of internodes, number of leaf and oil percentage compared with the Japanese mint under study. The results indicated that, irrespective of the mint species, plants treated with combined chemical and organic fertilizer presented taller plants, higher oil contents and oil yield compared with solo chemical or organic fertilizers. Oil percentage and essential oil yield of mint increased significantly under the treatment with 25% urea (23.75 kg N ha−1) + 75% vermicompost (10.1 t ha-1). Plant height and number of leaf increased along the replacement of organic fertilizer with chemical fertilizers. The results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation with leaf number and essential oil yield. Application of vermicompost in combination with chemical fertilizer increased plant height, oil percentage and essential oil in both species, suggesting that organic and chemical fertilizer combination improves performance and environmental sustainability.

Passionflower is a member of Passifloraceae family, it can be used as medicinal and ornamental plants in addition to its consumption as fruit in the world. Guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruits, which has a rich nutrient content, are consumed both fresh and processed. Passionfruit and guava plants, which can only be cultivated in temperate southern coasts in our country, have gained commercial importance because of the fruits' export potential, high medical importance and nutrient. This study was carried out to determine the effects of some bioactivator applications on the criteria of sapling growth and development of passionflower and guava plants. The experiment was conducted between 2018-2019 under greenhouse conditions. Saplings obtained from seed germination in Akdeniz University Faculty of Agriculture Research and Experiment Area were used as plant material. 3 different commercial preparations called Messenger, Crop-set and ISR-2000 were used as bioactivators. Plant height (cm), stem diameter (mm) and number of leaves (number / plant) were measured weekly, in order to determine the effect of the applications on the growth and development of saplings. At the end of the study, it was determined that the highest average plant height (10.17 cm), stem diameter (13.53 mm) were obtained in ISR-2000 application. The highest average plant height (11.93 cm), stem diameter (16.44 mm) and number of leaves (9.07 units / plant) were obtained from Messenger application in guava plant. When the results obtained are evaluated, it is recommended that ISR-2000 bioactivator can be applied in passionflower sapling cultivation and Messenger bioactivator can be applied for guava sapling cultivation.
