A research was conducted in 2014-15 to know the usefulness of halophytes on saline and sodic stress with 3 halophytes and 6 treatments i.e Control (pH-7.0 and ECe-0.56), Sodic (pH-9.5 and 10.0) and Saline (ECe- 15, 25 and 35 dSm-1) which was done in Factorial randomized block design in small micro-plots in research area at Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana. We found that pHs of soils were less and ECe of soils were more affected by growing halophytes in this experiment. Dicanthium had more number of tillers and Suaeda had more number of branches under sodic stress. In case of Urochondra Setulosa, number of tillers had increased up to pH-9.5 thereafter it decreased. Likewise, all other plant nutrients concentration in the soil was found to be reduced which showed that halophytes utilized these nutrients for their growth under the stress conditions. the results showed that Dicanthuim annulatum can be grown as a fodder crop under low to high sodic stress conditions whereas Suaeda nudiflora and Urochondra setulosa can be grown easily under saline soils/ irrigated condtions and in areas with sea water.

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) demand is high in Indonesia, however national production is low, therefore improving productivity is important. The research was aimed to determine the effect of application of biofertilizer containing N- fixing and P- solubilizing bacteria on the growth and production of soybean in lowland swamp. The experiment was conducted  at  Labuhan Ratu VI Village, District of Labuhan Ratu, East Lampung Regency from September to December 2014. The experiment was arranged in factorial randomized block design with three replications. N and P fertilizers were applied in four levels. Doses of N were 0, 11.25, 22.50, 33.75 kg ha-1, doses of P were 0, 36, 72, 108 P2O5 kg ha-1, in combination with and without biofertilizer application. The results showed that interaction between biofertilizer and N significantly affected number of branches and number of leaves at maximum vegetative phase. The influence of three types of fertilizer had no significant effect on the productivity of soybean in lowland swamp with soil pH of 7.0 and medium soil fertility. It is recommended to apply Biofertilizer + 11,25 kg N ha-1 + 36 kg P2O5 ha-1 to obtain high soybean production in lowland swamp area.<br /><br />Keywords: nitrogen, phosphate, productivity, soil fertility<br /><br />

The present investigations were conducted in randomized block design with three replications within the net house of the department of PMB&GE, A. N.D.U.A.T, Kumar Ganj, Ayodhya to estimate the genetic divergence under normal and salt stress conditions involving 20 rice genotypes during Kharif 2018-19, on the basis of relative parameters of D2 values, the clustering pattern of 20 rice genotypes under normal and salt stress conditions were grouped into five non-overlapped clusters. Under normal condition, Cluster III having highest 7 rice genotypes, Cluster II having 5 genotypes, cluster V having 4 genotypes and IV having highest 3 rice genotype. Cluster I having only one genotype. Under saline condition, Cluster I having highest rice 6 genotypes, cluster III having 5 genotypes and cluster II & IV having 4 genotypes respectively. Cluster V having only one genotype. It means the genetic similarity was found in the genotypes were expressed within the cluster and the pattern of distribution of genotypes in various clusters exhibited that topographical diversity wasn't associated with ancestral diversity as genotypes of same countryside were grouped into different cluster and vice-versa. The highest inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster 2 and cluster 5 (26108.030) followed by between cluster 1 and cluster 5 (18550.010), cluster 3 and cluster 5 (15231.860), cluster 4 and cluster 5 (5335.860) in normal condition and in saline condition the maximum inter cluster distance was existed between cluster 4 and cluster 5 (2344.091) followed by between cluster 3 and cluster 5 (2067.610), cluster 2 and cluster 5 (1447.564), cluster 1 and cluster 5 (1238.095). The results showed extensive variation from one cluster to other in respect of cluster means for all parameters, which represented that genotypes having distinctly different mean performance for various characters were reported into different clusters.Rice

All India coordinated Research Project on linseed conducted a field experiment on Agriculture Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur under Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra during Rabi Season of 2019-20 in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication. Three genotypes NL – 356, JLS-95, T-397 were tested with three nutrient levels i.e. 50 % RDF, 100% RDF and 150 % RDF. The result revealed yield potential of the entry NL-356 was 26% highest over JLS-95 and 13% more on T-397 under rainfed condition. However, the increase in nutrient level from 50 % RDF to 150 % RDF influence the growth and yield attributes which favours the increase in yield. Therefore, it is concluded that genotype NL 356 with 100 % RDF achieve higher growth rate i.e. plant height, number of branches as well as yield attributes number of capsules per plant, number of seed per capsule and highest NMR and B:C ratio.

The spatial arrangement and plant population have been highlighted as fundamental tools for increasing productivity. The objective was to evaluate the vegetative and productive performance of two soybean cultivars at different plant densities. Seeds of soybean cultivars (TMG 7063 IPRO and BS 2606 IPRO), recommended for the Alto Paranaíba region in the state Minas Gerais, were used and sown at seven different densities (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 plants meter-1, equivalent to 160, 200, 240, 280, 280, 320, 360 and 400 thousand plants hectare-1, where they were evaluated in the development stages R1 (plant height) and R8 (height of the insertion of the first pod, plant height, number of nodes, number of branches, productivity per plant and productivity per hectare). The experiment was set up according to a randomized block design, in the factorial scheme A x B, being factor A composed by the cultivars and factor B by plant densities with three repetitions (blocks). Increased plant population resulted in greater first pod insertion height and final plant height, fewer nodes and branches and the average yield per hectare increased linearly, with the TMG 7063 IPRO cultivar being more productive under these conditions (52.7 bags of 60 kg per hectare).
