To study the “Effects of sowing time and spacing on growth and yield of chick pea for green pod in Middle Gujarat Agro-Climatic Condition” was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Derol during 2015-16 to 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in a Split Plot Design (SPD) with three replications, comprising date of sowing (6) as a main plot and Spacing (2) sub plot of chick pea total thirty six treatment combinations. The results showed that the 1st Oct. (40th Std. week) sowing recorded significantlyhighergreen pod yield (1554, 1713, 1861 and 1709 kg/ha) was found in GG-2 variety during the all the year and pooled analysis.However, in case of spacing S2 (45x10 cm) recorded higher green pod in yield (1144, 1486, 1568 and 1399 kg/ha) was found non-significant during first two year, while significant in third year and pooled analysis.

The present experiment was conducted during October 2011 – April 2012 in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Science, Allahabad, (U.P.). The experiment of design was randomized block design consisting 11 treatment with 3 replication, with a view to find out the overall performance of different cultivars of Glodiolus viz. Panjab Morning (T1), Green Bay (T2), Noualux blue (T3), American Beauty (T4), Priscilla (T5),White Prosperity (T6) Red Majesty (T7), Summer Shunshine (T8) Delhi local (T9), Noualux (T10), Candyman (T11),. On the basis of different growth and yield parameters the maximum days for first floret durability (6.16). were recorded by White Prosperity (T6) followed by American Beauty (T4) (5.76). The maximum number of spike length (95.13cm) was obtained in White Prosperity (T6) followed by Red Majesty (T7) (94.16). The maximum weight of spike (64.40 g) was observed in White Prosperity (T6) followed by American Beauty (T4) (64.33g). The maximum floret diameter (12.63cm) was found in Summer Pearl (T8) followed by White Prosperity (T6) (12.53cm). The maximum number of floret per spike (18.00) was found in White Prosperity (T6) followed by American Beauty (T4) (17.73). The maximum number of spikes per plant (5.33) was observed in Delhi Local (T9) followed by White Prosperity (T6) (1.3). Which can be recommended for cultivation in Allahabad agro-climatic condition.

Abstract Improving production through better agronomic management is continued to feed ever-increasing population. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of N on maize seeded in line or broadcasted. Treatments included four level of urea nitrogen (N), i.e. 0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1 and two sowing techniques, i.e. drill sowing (improved) and broad cast (farmer practice). Improved method of sowing had improved yield and yield contributing parameters whereas emergence m-2 and biological yield was higher in broadcast method of sowing. Increasing N application had increased biological yield, number of plants at harvest and grains ear-1 linearly. Cobs per plant, grain yield, 1000 grains weight and harvest index showed sigmoid response to N application and was maximum at 120 kg N ha-1. Sowing of maize seed in line method and receiving 120 kg N ha-1 had increased grain yield by 45% over broad cast method of sowing receiving the same dose of nitrogen. However, the farmer practices method had increased the forage (straw) when received higher amount of N, i.e. 180 kg N ha-1. Thus, it is concluded from the experiment that application of 120 kg N ha-1 and seed sown in line had increased the yield and yielding parameters, compared to other treatments and is, therefore, recommended for general cultivation of variety Azam in agro-climatic condition of Peshawar.

Okra or Lady’s finger, botanically known as Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, is a tropical and sub-tropical indigenous vegetable crop commonly grown for its fibrous, slimy, and nutritious fruits and consumed by all classes of population. It has also several medicinal and economic values. Despite its many uses and potential value, its importance is under estimated, under-utilized, and considered a minor crop and little attention was paid to its improvement. The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different planting densities and mulching materials on the growth and yield of okra grown in slightly sloping area in the marginal uplands in Sta. Rita, Samar, Philippines. A split-plot experiment was set up with planting density as main plot and the different mulching materials as the sub-plot which were: unmulched or bare soil, rice straw, rice hull, hagonoy and plastic mulch. Planting density did not significantly affect the growth and yield of okra. Regardless ofthe mulching materials used, mulched plants were taller and yielded higher compared to unmulched plants. Moreover, the use of plastic mulch resulted to the highest total fruit yield. The results indicate the potential of mulching in increasing yield and thus profitability of okra production under marginal upland conditions.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
