Allelopathic Effects

ABSTRACT Selection of tree species under agroforestry systems is crucial to sustain the productivity of a crop. In present study, allelopathic effects of the leaf litters of 5 trees named Rose wood (Dalbergia sissoo), Guava (Pisidium guajava), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), Sacred fig (Ficus religiosa) and Jaman (Syzygium cumini) species on wheat growth and yield was examined. Leaf litter of each tress species was mixed in soil with two doses @ 100 and 200 g of leaves of each species per pot. Higher shoot length, shoot dry weight, number of spikelets per spike and biological yield were recorded in 200 g sun dried Jaman (Syzygium cumini) leaves. Total number of tillers per plant and number of ears per plant were higher under the application of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves (200 g sun dried) as compared to other treatments. Spike length, grain yield per pot, number of grains per pot and harvest index were maximum in 200 g sun-dried Sacred fig (Ficu sreligiosa) leaves. Majority of the parameters were promoted at lower doses of leaves per pot, however, at higher doses they started inhibiting the growth and grain yield of wheat.

Background: Non-edible oil as biodiesel helps to meet the energy demand and to reduce environmental degradation. Jatropha curcas is one of the potential oil yielding plant which can be grown under agroforestry systems without affecting food production. Hence the current study aimed to find out compatible intercrop under J. curcas and optimum spacing of J. curcas for intercropping. Methods: A study was carried out in three and a half-year old J. curcas plantation. Different spacings of J. curcas viz., 3m × 3m, 4m × 2m and 4m × 3m and different legumes viz., blackgram, greengram, cowpea, groundnut and oilseed crops viz., gingelly and sunflower were evaluated in split plot design. Result: Growth and yield of intercrops, available soil N, P and uptake of N, P, K by intercrops were significantly higher at wider spacing of J. curcas (4m × 3m). Among the intercrops, groundnut recorded higher uptake of N (67.3 kg ha-1), P (19.9 kg ha-1) and K (65.3 kg ha-1). Groundnut produced a significantly higher yield (885 kg ha-1) followed by cowpea (630 kg ha-1). The study found that planting of J. curcas at 4m × 3m spacing and intercropping with groundnut is a compatible and profitable J. curcas based agroforestry system.

Aim: Amelioration effect of soil amendment on growth and yield of Vigna unguiculata L. grown in acidic and alkaline soils. Study Design: The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with five replicates. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Botany, University of Calabar, Nigeria, between May and September, 2017. Methodology: Composite soils from two locations Akamkpa (pH 4.0) and Odukpani (pH 9.0) were collected, mixed thoroughly with organic manure (OM) and agricultural lime (AL) singly and in combination, allowed to stay three weeks for proper blending before V. unguiculata seeds were sown. On seedlings germination, amelioration effect of soil amendment on growth and yield of cowpea grown in acidic and alkaline soils was studied at different periods of growth. Results: Results revealed significant (P=0.05) increase in leaf area, plant height, number of leaves, leaf fresh and leaf dry weight, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate and leaf area ratio of V. unguiculata grown in acidic and alkaline soils treated with OM and AL. Pod length, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, number of seeds plant-1, weight of 100 seeds increased significantly. Organic manure used singly and in combination was more effective in ameliorating soil pH effect than AL. Vigna unguiculata performed better in treated and untreated alkaline than in acidic soils. Least plant height for V. unguiculata grown in untreated alkaline soil at 12 weeks after sowing WAS was 60.22±0.16a cm and highest 119.63E2±.35g cm for plants grown in soil treated with AL1+OM1. Least number of seeds plant-1 for plants grown in untreated acidic soil at 12 WAS was 90.60±0.02a and the highest 139.18E2±0.02e for plants grown in soil treated with AL1+OM1. Conclusion: An improvement in growth and seed yield of V. unguiculata grown in acidic and alkaline soils is feasible through the use of organic manure and agricultural lime.

The Impact

Incessant application of chemical fertilizers to the agricultural fields may alter the composition and activities of soil microbiota. Thus, the shift of cultivation practices from chemical to organic is considered to be the need of the hour in order to maintain soil health. A study was conducted in the agricultural fields of the University of Burdwan, India to observe the impact of organic manure on rhizosphere bacterial community. The experiments were conducted on maize plants, supplemented with the recommended dose of chemical fertilizer and organic manure (vermicompost and cow dung mixture). Corresponding changes in the plant phenological events and soil health in terms of soil physico-chemical factors and rhizosphere bacterial groups up to the level of CFU g-1× 105 dry soil were noted.The results showed a significant increase in population of nitrifying bacteria, asymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and protein hydrolysing bacteria in the organically treated plots. Moreover, the organic manure increases the bacterial population of rhizosphere, which in turn has a positive impact on maize growth and yield. The growth of the three groups of bacteria was attributed to the type of organic manure supplied to the agricultural fields.In addition, strong correlation was observed between Zn and protein hydrolysing bacteria. The soil organic carbon and available nitrogen were strongly correlated with nitrifying, fat solubilizing and phosphate solubilizing groups of bacteria.

Aim: This study evaluates the effects of soil amendment with organic manure-OM and agricultural lime-AL on the growth and yield of Phaseolus vulgaris and Vigna aconitifolia grown on soils with 3 different pH (locations) in Southern Cross River State. Study Design: The study was laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at the Greenhouse, Department of Plant and Ecological Studies, University of Calabar for a period of 3 months. Methodology: The three locations were: Akamkpa with pH 4.0, Calabar Municipality with pH of 7.0 and Odukpani with pH of 9.0. The treatments were; control (0 g), OM1 (100 g organic manure), OM2 (200g organic manure), AL1 (100 g agricultural lime), AL2 (200 g agricultural lime), OM1 + AL1 (50 g organic manure + 50 g agricultural lime) and OM2 +AL2 (100 g organic manure and 100 g agricultural lime. Results: Results obtained from the physico-chemical properties of the soil before treatment application revealed low nutrients and minerals which increased after treatment application. Six weeks after planting, there were significant increase in plant height (p<0.05) of P. vulgaris and V. aconitifolia on soil from Akamkpa (169.66 cm) and Odukpani (146.63 cm) treated with OM2 + AL2 compared to 43.77 cm and 71.77 cm from control. Leaf area, petiole length, number of leaves were all significantly improved especially at 8 weeks after planting. Fresh weights of leaf, stem and root revealed higher yield (p<0.05) at the final harvest recorded as 8 weeks after planting than the amount at 4 weeks after planting. The results obtained from the pod number, pod weight and number of seed showed significant improvement after treatment application. Conclusion: The findings of this study strongly support the use of organic manure and agriculture lime as affordable and accessible sources of manure especially for our local farmers.

A field experiment was conducted at instructional cum research farm, SASRD, Nagaland University during 2017-19 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on leaf nutrient status, growth, flowering and yield of tissues culture banana (Musa sp.) cv. Grand Naine under foot hill condition of Nagaland. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications. Among the various treatments, application of 100% NPK + 15kg FYM + biofertilizer showed the best result for vegetative growth like pseudostem height (177.7 cm), pseudostem girth (65.4 cm), number of functional leaves (14.8), phyllochron (7.0 days) and leaf nutrient status (2.66% N, 0.23% P and 2.89% K) at shooting stage. Nitrogen content in index leaf increased gradually at 5 MAP (2.33 to 3.10%) and there after declined at shooting stage (2.14 to 2.72%) in all treatments. Similarly, higher phosphorus content (0.18 to 0.25%) in index leaf was noted at 3 MAP while, higher potassium content at 5 MAP (2.76 to 3.44%) and at shooting stage (2.28 to 3.10%). The reproductive growth, such as days for emergence of inflorescence (239.0 days), days from planting to harvesting (360.6 days), number of hands (10.8), bunch weight (27.6 kg) and yield (85.17t ha-1) were highest with application of 75% NPK + 15kg FYM + 1kg V.C + 1kg P.M + biofertilizers. Integrated nutrient management in improving the growth and yield was found to be effective as compared to use of organic manure or inorganic fertilizers alone.
