Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of foliar application of Ascophyllum nodosum extract, homobrassinolide, and triacontanol for improving fruit retention, yield, and quality in mango. Methodology: The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 10 treatments, comprising Ascophyllum nodosum extract (1000, 3000, and 5000 ppm), homobrassinolide (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 ppm), triacontanol (1, 3, and 5 ppm), and water as control. Treatments were foliar sprayed at panicle initiation, pea, and marble stages of fruit growth. Observations were recorded on flowering, fruiting, yield, and fruit quality parameters. Results: All the treatments of Ascophyllum nodosum extract and triacontanol exhibited significant improvement in fruit retention, fruit weight, yield, and fruit quality parameters over control. However, 3000 and 5000 ppm Ascophyllum nodosum extract treatments outperformed all the treatments of triacontanol. Plants sprayed with 5000 ppm Ascophyllum nodosum extract recorded the maximum value for fruit retention (48.15, 36.74, 29.48, and 25.76% at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after pea stage, respectively), number of fruits (133.25 per tree), fruit weight (188.84 g per fruit), and yield (25.16 kg per tree), whereas the lowest values were recorded under control. With respect to fruit quality, 3000 ppm ANE produced the fruits with the highest TSS (19.62 °B), whereas the highest TSS/acid ratio was recorded with 5000 ppm ANE (62.29) treatment. Interpretation: In mango, foliar application of Ascophyllum nodosum extract (3000-5000 ppm) thrice at panicle initiation, pea, and marble stages of fruit growth is effective for reducing fruit drop and enhancing quantum and quality of produce.

Field experiments were conducted during rabi season of 2018 and summer season of 2019 at farmer’s field, western zone of Tamil Nadu at Pattiyarkovilpathy, Theethipalayam and Narasipuram villages of Thondamuthur block of Coimbatore district. Totally five treatments comprising of varied CuSO 4 levels (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 & 10.0 kg ha-1) were replicated four times in a randomized block design under irrigated conditions. The results showed that, fresh mean bulb yield of onion in four locations ranged from 12.4 to 15.6 t ha-1. The highest mean bulb yield of 15.6 t ha-1 was registered with recommended NPK+5 kg CuSO4 ha-1 and the lowest mean bulb yield of 12.4 t ha-1 was recorded in NPK control with no CuSO 4 addition. Dry Matter Production ranged from 1065 to 1199 kg ha-1. The highest DMP of 1199 kg ha-1 was recorded in the treatment that was applied with NPK+5 kg CuSO4 ha-1 and the lowest DMP (1065 kg ha-1) was noticed with NPK control. Concerning copper content in bulb and foliage, it ranged from 6.09 to 12.3 and 8.46 to 13.7 mg kg-1 with the location mean of 6.16 to 12.0 mg kg-1 and 7.61 to 11.1 mg kg-1, respectively. Copper uptake in bulb and sheath varied from 7.05 to 18.3 and 6.26 to 11.0 g ha-1 (mean of 8.55 to 12.3 and 6.52 to 10.4 g ha-1), respectively with a total uptake of 14.1 to 27.6 g ha-1. In both bulb and foliage, Cu content and uptake, increased with increasing doses of CuSO 4 and the highest Cu content and uptake was registered with the application of CuSO4 @ 10.0 kg ha-1. Regarding the availability of copper in soil, it ranged from 0.73 to 2.42 mg kg-1 and increasing levels of CuSO4 application increased the DTPA Cu status in soil and application of 10.0 kg CuSO 4 ha-1 recorded the highest copper availability in soil. Quality parameters viz., TSS, titrable acidity and ascorbic acid varied from 10.25 to 14.08 oBrix, 0.28 to 0.61% and 12.9 to 20.1 (100 g-1FW), respectively. Field experiments conducted to optimize the rates of copper sulfate application to improve the yield and quality of aggregatum onion in four locations at Coimbatore district, showed that, soil application of 5 kg CuSO4 along with recommended NPK @ 60:30:30 kg ha-1 was found optimal for obtaining higher bulb yield (15.6 t ha-1) and better quality in aggregatum onion with a BC ratio of 4.63.

<p>Continuous cultivation of farms has led to decline in soil fertility due to constant removal of nutrients leading to reduction of carrot (Daucus carota L.)<strong> </strong>yields. A field study was carried out at Egerton University, Horticulture Research and Teaching field in two seasons (October 2010 to January 2011 and February to May 2011) with the aim of investigating the effects of decomposed cattle bio-slurry manure on carrot growth and performance. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Treatments comprised four levels (0, 2.6, 5.2 and 7.8 t/ha) of decomposed bio-slurry manure. Growth, yield and quality parameters were recorded and used to discern the treatment effects. Application of bio-slurry manure generally improved growth, yield and quality of carrots. Application of 7.8 t/ha of bio-slurry increased yields by 8.8% in season 1 and 23.5% in season 2 compared to the control. Leaf numbers, plant height, dry weights of shoot and roots and root volume were also generally higher for the 7.8 t/ha treatment compared to other treatments. Total Soluble Solids of roots from plant treated with 7.8 t/ha were higher by 12.7% in season 1 and 13.2% in season 2 compared to the control. The study recommends 7.8 t/ha of bio-slurry manure for enhanced yield and quality of carrot.</p>
