Field experiments were conducted in three sites of Western Tigray, Ethiopia. The experiments aimed at identifying optimum the rate of the newly introduced NPS fertilizer impact with different levels on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of sesame in vertisols of Western Tigray at the Humera station, Banat and Kebabo Kafta Humera and Tsegede Wereda’s. The treatments consisted of six levels of NPS 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg ha-1 and one blanket recommendation N and P was applied. The experiment was laid out in an RCBD with three replications. Yield of Sesame and yield related components showed significant difference (p < 0.001) compared to control. Results showed that number of branches plant-1, length of pod bearing zone (cm), plant height (cm), number of capsules plant-1, seeds capsule-1 and seed yield was significant differences at (P< 0.001) Grain yield increases from 444.8 kg ha-1 to 671.9 kg ha-1 as NPS and 444.8 kg ha-1 to 628 kg ha-1 as NP increases from 0 (control) to 100 kg ha-1 NPS and 41 kg N and 46 kg P205 ha-1 respectively. But NPS was not significant with blanket recommendation of N and P (41 kg N and 46 kg P205 ha-1), therefore no need to replace the NP by NPS fertilizer in the study area.

Background: The availability of macro and micronutrients added to the soil are affected by soil environmental factors leading to various losses. When a similar amount of fertilizer is applied through foliar application, its use efficiency is increased many folds. In the sandy loam soil, foliar applied fertilizers are up to 20 times more effective as compared to soil applied fertilizers. Water soluble fertilizer of 19:19:19 grade N: P: K is totally water soluble and present in crystalline powder form. It can be applied to the crop by fertigation or through foliar spraying. Instant uptake of nutrients by the plants resulting in significant and quick improvement in crop growth. Humic acid when applied to field converted into readily available humic substances which directly or indirectly effect the plant growth. Foliar application of nutrients along with soil application of nutrients increase the yield and to improve the quality of cereal crops .Keeping the aforesaid facts in consideration, the present investigation was carried out to study effect of NPK water soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and yield attributes and nutrient uptake of ragi. Methods: The present investigation was carried out during January – May 2018 at farmers field, kamarajapuram village, Katpadi Taluk, Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India. The experiments were laid out in RBD (Randomized Block Design), Ragi [Elusine coracana (L.) Gaertn], CO-14 variety were taken into study. The experimental soil was sandy loam, 10 treatments with replicated thrice. The soil and plant sample was collected periodically proceed with standard analytical and statistical method followed. Result: Our investigations the soil and foliar feeding of nutrients along with water soluble fertilizer and humic acid combined treatment T10 (Soil application of 50% RDN + foliar spray of 50% RDN and 100% P and K through water soluble fertilizer [on 20 and 40 DAT] + foliar spray of humic acid 0.1% [on 20 and 40 DAT]) was significantly superior in performance with respect to growth, yield attributes, quality and nutrient uptake by ragi. It can be recommended to farmers to achieve more benefit from finger millet.

A field experiment was carried out in Kharif 2016 on B-deficient sandy loam soil at College of Agriculture, VC Farm, Mandya to study the effect of graded levels borax (5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha1) and gypsum (100 and 200 kg ha-1) on yield and soil chemical properties of irrigated finger millet (Eleusine corocana L.) in Southern Dry Zone of Karnataka. A significantly higher grain yield of 45.95 q ha-1 (17.56% higher than the control) and a B:C ratio of 3.06 were also recorded at T12 compared with RDF + FYM (T1). Due to application of borax and gypsum, the pH, EC, and organic carbon content in soil during flowering stage and at crop harvest were non-significant. However, at the flowering and harvest of the crop, the T4 treatment had the lowest pH (7.49 and 7.43, respectively), whereas the T12 (flowering stage) and T10 (after harvest) treatments had the highest pH (7.65 and 7.67, respectively). Higher soil NPK values were detected in all treatments at flowering stage compared to after the crop was harvested. Application of borax 10kg ha-1 + 100 kg gypsum ha-1 along with RDF and FYM had a significantly higher exchangeable calcium content after harvest (6.77 cmol kg-1) than T1 (5.23 cmol kg-1). Sulphur content in soil at flowering stage and after harvest of crop was found to be significant among the treatments due to application of different levels of  gypsum. High levels of borax applied treatments, i. e. T5 (T1+20 kg borax ha-1) and T15 (T5 + 200 kg gypsum ha-1) recorded significantly higher content of B at flowering stage (4.18 and 4.09 mg kg-1, respectively) and at harvest of crop (3.88 and 3.68 mg kg-1, respectively) when compared to T1 (1.32 and 1.16 mg kg-1, respectively). Therefore finger millet absorption of boron may be reduced by using borax with a greater dosage of gypsum (200 kg ha-1). As a result, optimising the Ca/B ratio in the soil and plant is critical for increasing irrigated finger millet yields.

An experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2016 to investigate the influence of transplanting dates and nitrogen levels on productivity of transplanted fine rice. Experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with two transplanting dates (i.e. D1-15th and D2-30th July) as one factor and four levels of nitrogen (i.e. 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg N/ha) as second factor. Time of transplanting did not influence growth, yield attributes and yield. However, among different levels of nitrogen, significantly highest yield and yield attributes were recorded with 60 kg N/ha. Significantly highest straw yield was recorded with 90 kg N/ha. Rice transplanted on 15th July proved to be superior with respect to gross returns (Rs.70337.50/ha), net return (Rs.38259.28/ha) and B: C ratio (1.19) to that of 30th July transplanting. Whereas among nitrogen levels highest gross returns (Rs.79307.50/ha), net returns (Rs.52314.96) and B: C (1.94) ratio were obtained with application of 60 kg N/ha.

Background: Productivity of cowpea in our country is very low. So, there is need to take proper agronomic practices to enhance the productivity of cowpea and foremost important among them is foliar application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients exploiting genetic potential of crop. This is considered to be an efficient and economic method of supplementing part of nutrient requirement at critical growth stages of the crop. Foliar application is credited with the advantage of quick and efficient utilization of nutrients, elimination of losses through leaching, fixation and regulating uptake of nutrients by the plant. In view of above consideration, the experiment entitled “Influence of foliar application of different organic sources on growth, yield and quality of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) under varying levels of fertilizer” was conducted with objectives to study the effect of different levels of fertilizer on growth, yield and quality of cowpea, to study the effect of foliar application of different organic sources on growth, yield and quality of cowpea, to study the interaction effect of different levels of fertilizer and foliar application of organic sources and to study the economics of different treatments. Methods: The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.) during Rabi 2019-20. Field experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design. The fertilizer levels comprised of three levels viz., F1: 100% RDF, F2: 75% RDF and F3: 50% RDF and foliar application consisted of five different organic sources viz., S0: Control, S1: Panchagavya @ 3%, S2: Vermiwash @ 10%, S3: Cow urine @ 5% and S4: Vasant urja @ 0.5%. There were 15 treatment combinations replicated three times. Result: It can be concluded that for growing cowpea, it should be supplied with 100% RDF and sprayed with panchagavya @ 3% or cow urine @ 5% foliar application, so as to obtain higher yield and economic returns.
