El presente estudio consistió en elaborar el bocashi y evaluar su efecto en la germinación y desarrollo del rábano. Las mezclas de bocashi utilizadas fueron: aserrín-mangoplátano (BA), mango (BM) y tradicional (BT). Para la caracterización fisicoquímica se tomó 1 kg de cada bocashi. Para evaluar emergencia en semillas de rábano, se realizó ensayo en charolas de poliestireno con mezcla bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v), por triplicado. El Testigo fue suelo agrícola (A). Para evaluar el efecto en la calidad de planta, las plantas fueron trasplantadas a mesas organopónicas de madera, con mezcla bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v). El riego fue diario por un mes. A los 30 días del trasplante, se midió: la altura de la planta (cm), el número de hojas y la masa seca de la raíz (g). El tratamiento A promovió la mayor germinación en las semillas de rábano; en cuanto al desarrollo de la planta, el tratamiento A estimuló la altura y número de hojas en las plantas de rábano; sin embargo, el tratamiento BT favoreció la mayor acumulación de biomasa seca. Las plantas de rábano fertilizadas con bocashi presentaron mejor desarrollo que las germinadas en suelo agrícola.ABSTRACTThe present study consisted in the elaboration of a bocashi and the evaluation of its effects on germination and development of radish. The mixtures of bocashi were: saw dust-mangoose-banana (BA), mangoose (BM) and traditional (BT). For physicochemical characterization, 1 kg of each bocashi was taken. To evaluate emergence of radish seeds, an essay was realized in polystyrene trays with a mixture of bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v), in triplicate. The reference was agricultural soil (A). To evaluate the effect on plant quality, plants were transplanted to wooden organoponic tables, with a mixture of bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v). The irrigation was daily for a month. After thirty days of transplant, we measured: plant height (cm), number of leaves and root dry biomass (g). Treatment A promoted the higher germination of radish seeds; as to the plant development, treatment A stimulated the height and leaves number of radish plant; but nevertheless, treatment BT favored the greater accumulation of dry biomass. The radish plants fertilized with bocashi showed better development than those germinated in agricultural soil.

Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are nanoparticles with countless applications. MWCNTs are typically of synthetic origin. However, recently, the formation of MWCNTs in nature after forest fires has been documented. Previous reports have demonstrated the positive effects of synthetic MWCNTs on the germination and development of species of agronomic interest; nevertheless, there is practically no information on how synthetic or natural MWCNTs affect forest plant development. In this report, based on insights from dose-response assays, we elucidate the comparative effects of synthetic MWCNTs, amorphous carbon, and natural MWCNTs obtained after a forest fire on Eysenhardtia polystachya plant. Methods E. polystachya seeds were sown in peat moss-agrolite substrate and conserved in a shade house. Germination was recorded daily up to 17 days after sowing, and plant development (manifested in shoot and root length, stem diameter, foliar area, and root architecture parameters) was recorded 60 days after sowing. Results The treatments with natural MWCNTs accelerated the emergence and improved the germination of this plant, thus while untreated seeds achieve 100% of germination within 16th day, seeds supplemented with natural MWCNTs at doses of 20 µg/mL achieve the above percentage within the 4th day. Natural MWCNTs also promoted fresh and dry biomass in all applied treatments, specially at doses of 40 µg/mL where natural MWCNTs significantly promoted leaf number, root growth, and the dry and fresh weights of shoots and roots of seedlings. Seeds supplemented with doses between 20 and 40 µg/mL of amorphous carbon achieving 100% of germination within the 6th day; however, seeds supplemented either with doses of 60 µg/mL of the above carbon or with synthetic MWCNTs at all the tested concentrations could achieve at most 80 % and 70% of germination respectively within the 17 days. Finally, neither treatments added with amorphous carbon nor those added with synthetic MWCNTs, showed significant increases in the fresh and dry biomass of the tested plant. Likewise, the survival of seedlings was reduced between 10 and 20 % with 40 and 60 µg/mL of amorphous carbon, and with synthetic MWCNTs in all the doses applied was reduced at 30% of survival plants. Conclusions These findings indicate that MWCNTs produced by wildfire act as plant growth promoters, contributing to the germination and development of adapted to fire-prone conditions species such as E. polystachya.

The response of coffee plants to five soil-less growth media was evaluated and compared to the response of coffee plants to the mixture of soil, sugar cane sludge and alluvium currently used in commercial nurseries. The effect in plant development was determined using as criteria: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves and the fresh and dry weight of foliage and roots. Plant development in the mixture of vermiculite, perlite, and peat moss was similar to that of plants grown in the control mixture and greater than in the other four mixtures. The stem diameter and foliage fresh weight of plants in the control mixture was greater than in plants grown in the mixture of vermiculite, perlite and peat moss. Plants grown in the control mixture had significantly lower Mg and Mn, and higher K content than those in the mixture of vermiculite, perlite and peat moss.

Cuscus is an arboreal animal whose habitat is in the forest with the type of food consumed are fruits, leaf shoots, and agricultural plants. Animal manure can also be used as organic fertilizer for forage plants. This study aims to determine the growth response of Setaria grass (Setaria sphacelata) given a dose of cuscus manure fertilizer with banana and avocado consumption. The study was designed in a CRD with 3 treatments. The treatments were P0 = without fertilizer (100% soil), P1 = 40 g/polybag of cuscus manure with banana consumption, and P2 = 40 g/polybag of cuscus manure with avocado consumption. Planting is done by pols on polybags measuring 30 x 25 cm. The results showed that the highest plant height of Setaria grass was found in P2 with an average of 101.70, then P1 was 101.47 and P0 was 71.16 cm/week. The results were the same for the number of leaves and tillers, P2 showed significantly higher results (P<0.05), followed by P1 and control. The application of organic fertilizer of cuscus manure with the consumption of bananas and avocados can increase the growth of Setaria grass.

An experiment was conducted to determine effects of inter-cropping lablab (Lablab purpureus) with 3 selected early-maturing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) varieties (Teshale, Girana-1 and Misikir) on plant morphology, sorghum grain and forage yield and quality plus yield and quality of lablab forage, and to assess farmers’ perceptions of the crops in Kalu District, South Wollo, Ethiopia. Seven treatments, namely: T1 - sole lablab (SL); T2 - Teshale + lablab (TL); T3 - Girana-1 + lablab (GL); T4 - Misikir + lablab (ML); T5 - sole Teshale (ST); T6 - sole Girana-1 (SG); and T7 - sole Misikir (SM), were used with 3 replications in a randomized complete block design. The data collected from sorghum varieties were: plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, dry biomass yield and grain yield; and for lablab was: plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, number of branches per plant, number of nodules per plant and dry biomass yield. Grain yield was determined on sorghum at maturity, while lablab was harvested at 50% flowering. Inter-cropped Girana-1 produced yields of both grain and stover and lablab forage similar to those for pure stands of the 2 crops, while inter-cropping of Teshale and Misikir with lablab reduced height, grain and stover yields of sorghum and yields of lablab forage (P<0.05). However, crude protein concentration in sorghum stover was enhanced when grown as an inter-crop with lablab (P<0.05). Land equivalent ratios for inter-crop treatments were 54‒87% higher than those for pure stands. Farmers readily identified the combination Girana-1 + lablab as superior to the other associations. While farmers can improve productivity of their farms by inter-cropping these sorghum varieties, preferably Girana-1, with lablab, more studies should be conducted to determine benefits from sowing other legumes with sorghum. Any improvements in soil N levels from planting the legumes should be quantified.

Dracaena Sanderiana

Sander's Dracaena (Dracaena sanderiana, Hort.) was grown in 3 x 3 x 3 N, P, K factorial experiment in a 1:1 mixture of peat moss and Cataño sand. Commercial cuttings were harvested at regular intervals during a 32-mo growing period. Fresh weight, length, number of leaves , and weight of leaves was recorded from each harvested cutting. Nitrogen affected significantly the number of harvested cuttings per unit area, total growth and total top growth, all of which were highest at 600 pounds of N/acre/yr. Phosphorus affected significantly only the number of harvested cuttings while potassium affected significantly total growth, top growth, root growth, mean size and mean weight of harvested cuttings, and leal mean weight. The fitting of a modification of the fertilizer-yield equation Y = A/1 + B( C - X)2 showed that maximum yields in terms of number of cuttings were obtained with a combination of approximately 648, 465 and 583 pounds of N, P, K/acre/yr, respectively. The maximum total growth and top growth depended more on the phosphorus and less on the potassium. Root growth was definitely affected by the phosphorus applications.

The productivity of organic farming has mainly focused on its relative crop yields than the proportions of organic matters in soil. However, organically cultivation changes crop yields at the same time it depends on types of crops grown. Here, we provide a pot experiment on the rooftop in Latin Square Designs (LSD) with a Diamant variety of potato and four treatment combinations to evaluate variety’s growth and yields. T0: Control, T1: 100% organic fertilizer, T2: 75% organic fertilizer+25% soil and T3: 50% organic fertilizer+50% soil was used for the present study with three replications. Our analysis showed the tallest (23.78 cm) plant was in T2 followed by T1 and T3 (23.37 cm and 23.14 cm, respectively). T2 produced the maximal (76.44) number of leaves per stem followed by T2 and T3 (73.44 and 74.11, respectively). T1 generating the maximal number (6.89) of tubers per hill was significant than all the other treatments. The highest weight (19.13 gm) per tuber per hill was examined in T2 followed by T1 and T3 (17.05 gm and 12.91 gm, respectively). T2 produced the utmost tuber length (3.78 cm) followed by T1 and T3 (3.39 cm and 3.23 cm, respectively. 75% organic fertilizer+25% soil has concluded the potential to be grown successfully and the most suited treatment for production of potato (Diamant) in coastal areas of Bangladesh.
