The present experiment was conducted to identify the best organic amendment on the growth and yield of five species of oyster mushrooms viz.,Pleurotus florida, P. sajor-caju, P. eous, P. tuber-regium and Hypsizygus ulmarius by using organic amendments like rice bran, dry azolla, Neem cake, vermiwash and dry biogas slurry at three different concentrations. The effect of organic amendments on the number of days for sporophore formation, number and weight of sporophores varied according to the mushroom species. Results revealed that except dry biogas slurry, all organic amendments had superior effect in reducing number of days for sporophore formation, increasing the number of sporophores and yield. Effect of organic amendments on the yield of oyster mushrooms showed that all organic amendments except dry biogas slurry performed well with more number and weight of sporophores. The number of days for sporophore formation varied between 16.5 to 20.8 days in P. eous, 19.5 to 39 days in P. tuber-regium and 17.5 to 36.8 days in H. ulmarius. In P. florida and P. eous highest yield of 350.3g and 379g, respectively obtained from paddy straw amended with 1 per cent Neem cake. P. sajor-caju gave the maximum yield of 405.3g in 5 per cent rice bran. The maximum yield of 134.8g was recorded in P. tuber-regium when treated with 4 per cent rice bran whereas paddy straw amended with 6 per cent dry azolla gave highest yield of 218.3g in H. ulmarius.

Popularity of oyster mushroom is increasing because of its ease of cultivation, high yield potential as well as its unique nutritional value. Study with oyster mushrooms viz., Pleurotus florida, P. sajorcaju, P. eous, P. tuber-regium and Hypsizygus ulmarius revealed that the nutritional value of these mushrooms can be increased significantly when grown on paddy straw supplemented with organic amendments such as rice bran, neem cake, dry azolla, vermiwash and dry biogas slurry. In addition to increased yield, the organic supplements significantly increase thecrude protein, total free aminoacid, total carbohydrate and nutrients like N,P and K in oyster mushrooms. Nutrient content of the mushrooms varied with different concentrations of organic amendments used. In P. florida, H. ulmarius and P.tuber-regium paddy straw amended with dry azolla gave higher amount of crude protein content (35.4, 35.3 and 34.9, respectively). Paddy straw amended with dry azolla at 4 per cent, 6 per cent and 5 per cent, respectively recorded the maximum total free aminoacid in P. florida (0.6%), P. sajor-caju (0.43%) and H. ulmarius (0.56%). The major nutrient elements like N, P and K content also increased with addition of organic amendments.Thus, it is concluded from the study that supplementation of rice straw with rice bran, Neem cake, dry azolla, vermiwash and dry biogas slurry has strong impact in improving the crude protein, total free aminoacid, total carbohydrate and essential mineral nutrients such as N, P and Kcontent of oyster mushrooms.

Oyster Mushrooms

Mushrooms are ironic in nutrimental resources and have converted into one of the common foods in the previous twenty years globally. The types of edible mushrooms are button, milky and oyster mushrooms. The research aimed at value addition of Oyster mushrooms by rising on paddy substrate complemented with two concentrations of four different medicinal plants. The plant parts selected were flowers of Butea monosperma, leaves of Moringa olifera, bark of Cinnamonom zeylianicum, fruits of Corindraum sativum at 5% and 10% concentration.  Different species of oyster mushrooms are available. In the present study Pleurotus florida was selected for value addition. Maximum mycelium running rate was detected in Cinnamon bark (5%) and paddy straw (95%) accompanied group and lowermost running rate of mycelium was observed in Moringa leaf (5%) and paddy straw (95%). The primordial arrival was fast with Cinnamon bark (5%) supplemented group and slowest in Moringa leaf (5%) supplemented group. The mushrooms grownup on Coriander fruit (5%) produced more but the growth was slow. Mushrooms supplemented with Butea flower (5%) exhibited slow growth and yield was next to coriander fruit supplemented mushrooms. The produced mushrooms were subjected to physical evaluation, preliminary phytochemical testing and also tested for estimation of total flavonoids, total phenols, total tannins and total cinnamaldehyde contents. Value addition of Oyster mushrooms was successful with cinnamon bark as cinnamaldehyde was noticed in the Cinnamon bark supplemented group, and also with Moringa leaves as flavonoids was observed in more concentration in Moringa leaf supplemented mushroom group.

Three popular tomato varieties namely, Ratan, BARI tomato-3 and BARI tomato-6 were experimentally evaluated to identify the potential mulch on growth and yield, where the experiment consisted of four mulching treatments viz. water hyacinth, straw, am-ada leaf and banana leaf with a control (no mulch). The experiment was conducted under rainfed condition. In the experiment, mulching showed significant effect on growth, yield components and thus on the yield of tomato. Yield contributing characters were significantly higher when water hyacinth mulch was used. The variety Ratan produced the highest (53.74 t/ha) fruit yield, while BARI tomato-3 showed the lowest (48.89 t/ha) fruit yield. The combination of mulching and variety exhibited significant variation in some yield components and yield. The combination of water hyacinth and Ratan produced the maximum yield (62.16 t/ha) and thus the experiment revealed that water hyacinth and straw mulches have potentiality to increase the yield of tomato.

Drip irrigation technique has proved its superiority over other methods of irrigation due to direct application of water and nutrient in the vicinity of root zone. A field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of irrigation and fertigation scheduling through drip irrigation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) during Rabi season of 2015-16 at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. There were three irrigation levels and five fertilization levels in split-plot design with three replications. Nutrient content in plant and fruit was found higher under the application of drip irrigation at 100 % PE (I1) and at 100 % RDF through fertigation (F1). Maximum nutrient uptake by tomato i.e. nitrogen (166.83 kg ha-1), phosphorus (41.59 kg ha-1) and potassium (183.08 kg ha-1) was recorded with treatment combination of drip irrigation at 75 % PE (I2) + 75 % RDF through fertigation + 2 foliar spray of 1 % urea phosphate (F3). Similarly, significantly maximum yield and growth attributes i.e. fruit yield (201.25 q ha-1), plant height (67.43 cm) and number of branches (12.33) were registered with treatment combination of drip irrigation at 75 % PE and 75 % RDF through fertigation + 2 foliar spray of 1 % urea phosphate. Drip fertigation method has proved to be very significant in improving nutrient uptake which finally resulting in enhancement of growth and yield of tomato crop.

The high yield of ginger is function of adequate and timely supply of plant nutrients. Among the various agronomic technologies influencing the production of ginger, nutrition is found to exert a great influence on growth and yield of ginger. Imbalance, low or no fertilizer application is one of the most important factors in obtaining the poor yield. Hence, the trial was taken to study the effect of organic manures (FYM, neem cake, vermicompost, Azospirillum) and biostimulants (panchakavya, humic acid and PPFM) on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of ginger at Department of Spices and Plantation Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers and leaf area were found to be higher in the plants fed with 50% N (FYM) +25% N (Neem cake) + 25% N (Vermicompost) + Azospirillum (5kg/ha) + Panchakavya (3%). The maximum green rhizome yield (23.55 t ha-1) was obtained with the application of 50% N (FYM) +25% N (Neem cake) + 25% N (Vermicompost) + Azospirillum (5kg/ ha) + Panchakavya (3%) per hectare. The highest uptake of nitrogen (119.06 kg ha-1) and potassium (197.56 kg ha-1) was found in the application of 50% N (FYM) +25% N (Neem cake) + 25% N (vermicompost) + Azospirillum (5kg/ ha) + panchakavya (3%) per hectare The maximum amount of Phosphorus uptake (14.35 kg ha-1) was recorded in the application of 50% N (FYM) +25% N (neem cake) + 25% N (vermicompost) + Azospirillum (5kg/ha) + humic acid (0.1%). In ginger cultivation, the application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers commonly practiced to increase the yield and quality of rhizome. Considering the world demand for organic food, the improvement of soil health, productivity and the availability of local resources, cultivation under organic farming can be encouraged.

Abstract Potential toxic metals (PTEs) accumulation in soil and water is one of the major sources of food crop contamination. PTEs remediation from soil can be enhanced by addition of organic matter to the growing media. An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different organic amendments on the accumulation of PTEs in pea plant grown on mine degraded soils. Mining soils from chromite mine (CM), soap stone mine (SSM), manganese mine (MM) and quartz mine (QM) were mixed with vermicompost (VC), leaf mould (LC) and spent mushroom compost (SMC) along with garden soil at 1:1:1 ratio. Various growth and yield related attributes of pea plant as well as PTEs concentrations in soil and plants were studied. The highest Cd (2.62 mg kg−1) and Cr (13.6 mg kg−1) concentration was reported in CM soil, while Pb (23.3 mg kg−1) and Mn (59.2 mg kg−1) concentration in SSM and MM soil, respectively. Mining soils significantly reduced the plant growth and yield, while organic amendments reduced the PTEs availability and increased pea plant growth. Comparing the various organic fertilizers used, it was observed that VC efficiently reduced Cd, Cr, Pb and Mn uptake by pea plant, subsequently, improved pea plant growth. In order to assess the effects of various amendments on PTEs health risk reduction various risk indices including, plant trafser factor, average daily intake, health risk, target hazard quotient and target cancer risk were also calculated and the results revealed that application of compost particularly VC significantly reduced the dietary intake and health risks of PTEs.
