The deficiency in bioavailable phosphorus is one of the major constraints to cereal production in Mali. The objective of this study was to assess the combined effects of Tilemsi rock phosphate (PNT) with different doses of soluble fertilizers on the solubility of rock phosphate, the agronomic performance of sorghum and the chemical properties of the soil. The study consisted of the comparison of four (4) types of fertilization at three (3) levels of variation 0 kg.ha-1; 11 kg.ha-1, and 16 kg.ha-1 of phosphorus arranged in a complete randomized block with three replicates. The combination of PNT with sulfate ammonium (NH4) 2SO4 resulted in a significant increase in grain and biomass yields during the two years of the study. The increase of the rate of phosphate rock application lead to improve the sorghum grain yield by an average of 29%. The combined application of sulfate ammonium (NH4) 2SO4 with PNT significantly increased the phosphorus uptake indices from PNT. These results show that there is a possibility of improving the productivity of sorghum in Mali with the combined use of Tilemsi rock phosphate and soluble fertilizers, particularly sulfate ammonium. La déficience en phosphore assimilable du sol est l’une des contraintes majeures à la production céréalière au Mali. L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer les effets de différentes formules de fumures à base du phosphore naturel de tilemsi (PNT) et d’engrais azotés et potassiques sur les propriétés chimiques du sol et les performances agronomiques du sorgho. Pour ce faire, un dispositif factoriel en blocs complètement randomisés a été implanté. Le premier facteur est composé des 4 formules de fumures (PNT granule (P), PNT granule avec KCl , PNT granule avec (NH4)2SO4 et PNT granule avec KCl et (NH4)2SO4 ) et le second facteur les niveaux de doses de phosphore (0 kg.ha-1; 11 kg.ha-1, et 16 kg.ha-1). L’association du PNT avec le sulfate d’ammonium (NH4)2SO4 a entraîné une augmentation significative des rendements grain et biomasse pendant les deux annéesd’étude. L’augmentation de la dose d’apport du phosphore a amélioré le rendement grain de 29% en moyenne. L’application combinée du sulfate d’ammonium (NH4)2SO4 avec le PNT a augmenté significativement l’efficacité agronomique du PNT. Ces résultats montrent qu’il y a une possibilité d’améliorer la productivité du sorgho au Mali avec l’utilisation combinée de phosphore naturel de Tilemsi à la dose de 16 kg.ha-1 et les engrais solubles notamment le sulfate d’ammonium. Ainsi cette formulation pourrait être recommandée en culture de sorgho pour les producteurs à faible revenu en zone Sahélienne du Mali.

SummaryThe availability of high quality and quantity of oil palm seedling needs consistent support of fertilization programs for economic production.  Organo-chemical fertilizer with rock phosphate and urea added was initiated to increased economic value of agriculture and estate crops residues. The prototype of organo-chemical fertilizer has 10% organic C, 11% N, 8% P, 1% K and 4% humic acid respectively. Based on greenhouse experiments, organo-chemical fertilizer treated to oil palm seedlings tends to provide a better vegetative growth of the seedlings.  Dry weights of leave, stem, and root of the seedlings applied with 100 g organo-chemical  fertilizer plus 10 g KCl to each seedling were significantly different compared to the standard dosage conventional fertilizer. This organo-chemical fertilizer could be applied as conventional fertilizer substitute.Ringkasan        Ketersediaan bibit kelapa sawit ber-kualitas dengan kuantitas yang terus meningkat memerlukan dukungan program pemupukan yang konsisten untuk mencapai tingkat produksi yang ekonomis.  Pembuatan pupuk organo-kimia dengan penambahan  batuan fosfat dan N ditujukan untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi limbah pertanian dan perkebunan.  Prototipe pupuk organo-kimia ini mengandung 10% C-organik, 11% N, 8% P, 1% K dan 4% asam humik.  Pemberian 100 g pupuk organo-kimia yang ditambah 10 g KCl per bibit menghasilkan berat kering daun, batang, dan akar yang lebih baik dan berbeda nyata apabila dibandingkan dengan peng-gunaan pupuk konvensional dosis standar.  Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, prototipe pupuk organo-kimia ini dapat digunakan sebagai substitusi pupuk konvensional untuk pemupuk-an bibit kelapa sawit.

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.

Sword Beans (Canavalia gladiata) have high biomass, resistant to drought, pests and diseases, high fertility and seed productivity. The research purpose was to know rock phosphate dose effect on production and nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium uptake of sword bean leaf with VAM application. The design used was completely randomized design (CRD) with 2x5 factorial and repeated three times. The first factor was VAM; M0: without VAM and M1: with VAM of 10 g/bag. The second factor was rock phosphate; P0: without rock phosphate, P1: rock phosphate fertilization; 100 kg / ha, P2: 200 kg / ha, P3: 300 kg / ha and P4: 400 kg / ha. The results; dry matter and calcium absorption of sword bean leaves showed similar results for VAM and without VAM application. The nitrogen uptake of VAM inoculated plants differed significantly higher than non VAM application. In phosphorus uptake there was VAM and rock phosphate interaction.

SummaryIn two field experiments, Mussoorie rock phosphate with or without pyrite, farmyard manure or straw was compared with concentrated superphosphate when applied to guar and groundnut. The treatments included rates of 10, 20 and 30 kg P/ha and were located on a soil low in available phosphorus.Mussoorie rock phosphate was 44–52% as efficient as concentrated superphosphate. The incorporation of Amjhore pyrite, farmyard manure or straw in the soil with rock phosphate increased the effectiveness of Mussoorie rock phosphate.Extractability coefficient ratios obtained upon laboratory incubation of soil with concentrated superphosphate and rock phosphate correlated fairly well with the availability coefficient ratios obtained from measurements with plants in the field experiments.

SUMMARYNitric phosphates containing 80, 50 and 30% water-soluble phosphorus, and Mussoorie rock phosphate, alone or with Amjhore pyrites, farmyard manure or straw, were compared relative to concentrated superphosphate for each of three cycles of a clusterbean–wheat and a groundnut–wheat rotation. Both the field experiments were made on alkaline P-deficient Samana sands. All phosphatic fertilizers were applied to each crop at the rate of 10, 20 and 30 kg P/ha. Dry forage of clusterbean, groundnut pods and grain yield of wheat were measured. The model of concurrent straight line response was employed to calculate availability coefficient ratios which express the relative effectiveness of the different phosphatic fertilizers.Nitric phosphate containing 80 % water-soluble phosphorus and concentrated superphosphate were almost equal in their effectiveness in both 3-year rotational studies of clusterbean–wheat and groundnut–wheat. The relative efficiency of the nitric phosphates increased with the amount of water-soluble phosphorus they contained. Mussoorie rock phosphate was the least effective source of fertilizer phosphorus, although its efficiency is considerably higher for the legume clusterbean and for groundnut than for the cereal wheat. The efficiency of Mussoorie rock phosphate increased when it was mixed with the soil together with Amjhore pyrites, farmyard manure and straw respectively. These materials were more effective for clusterbean and groundnut than for wheat.

1. Two factorial pot experiments with ryegrass grown on calcareous soils from adjacent long-term experiments on Hoosfield, Rothamsted, are described. The effects of the method of application of phosphate, of the amounts of saP tested and of the level of phosphate applied are discussed with special reference to the manurial history of the soils.2. Yield and total phosphorus uptake by ryegrass were slightly greater in the early stages of growth when superphosphate was applied as a powder than when an equal amount of phosphate was applied in solution, but this effect disappeared in later cuts of grass. Total phosphorus uptake was not significantly altered by the levels of 32P tested, and yields were only significantly decreased at one sampling date in one experiment. Uptake of fertilizer phosphorus decreased and ‘A’ values increased, however, in both experiments at the higher rates of application of 32P.3. The addition of fertilizer phosphorus, as superphosphate or monocalcium phosphate, increased the uptake of soil phosphorus by ryegrass on all soils on which there was a yield response to phosphate. The recovery of fertilizer phosphorus, estimated radiochemically, was less, therefore, than the increase in phosphorus uptake by the crop on the soils on which there was a yield response to phosphate fertilizers.4. ‘A’ values were determined on all soils and were shown to be almost independent of two- and five-fold increases in the amount of labelled phosphate tested. ‘A’ values were related to the previous phosphate manuring of the soils and increased by about one-third of the difference in phosphate content on soils that had received heavy applications of superphosphate or farmyard manure over 50 years ago. The ‘A’ values of soils that had recently received superphosphate in the field decreased in 3 years by more than the amount of phosphate taken up by the crops. ‘A’ values of soils that received rock phosphate in the field were lower and did not decrease with time.

Global warming promotes soil calcification and salinization processes. As a result, soil phosphorus (P) is becoming deficient in arid and semiarid areas throughout the world. In this pot study, we evaluated the potential of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) for enhancing the growth and P uptake in maize under varying levels of lime (4.8%, 10%, 15% and 20%) and additional P supplements (farmyard manure, poultry manure, single super phosphate and rock phosphate) added at the rate of 45 mg P2O5 kg−1. Inoculation and application of P as organic manures (Poultry and farm yard manures) improved maize growth and P uptake compared to the control and soils with P applied from mineral sources. Liming adversely affected crop growth, but the use of PSB and organic manure significantly neutralized this harmful effect. Mineral P sources combined with PSB were as effective as the organic sources alone. Furthermore, while single supper phosphate showed better results than Rock phosphate, the latter performed comparably upon PSB inoculation. Thus, PSB plus P application as organic manures is an eco-friendly option to improve crop growth and P nutrition in a calcareous soil under changing climate.
