<p><strong>ABSTRACT </strong></p><p>Fertilizer Recommendation of N, P and K Site-Spesific Location for Maize Cropping in Gowa District, South Sulawesi. Agroecosystem of maize cropping areas in Indonesia is very varied. Site-specific fertilization can improve efficiency and productivity, increase farmer’s income and support sustainability of production system, environmental safety as well as saving energy resources. This research aimed to obtain fertilizer recommendation of N, P, and K for maize in specific location based on agro-ecosystem cropping areas. The research was carried out in Gowa district, South Sulawesi from March to September 2012. A survey method was used to collect data using questions in Nutrient Expert (NE) program forms. Average yield productivity of farmers’ field, yield potential or highest yield, physical and chemical properties of soil, crop management, fertilizers application at each maize cropping area were grouped and simulated using NE program to determine fertilizer dosage. Dosage obtained through NE simulation program then was used to analyze Marginal Rate of Return (MRR). Simulation results were feasible as recommended fertilizer if value of MRR &gt;100%. Results of this research showed that site-specific fertilizer recommendation for maize in lowland of Gowa District were 190-210 kg N, 30-66 kg P2O5, and 33-55 kg K2O per hectare with MRR value at 180-479%, which could increase yield up to 3.3 t/ha; whilst on dryland,the dosage of N, P2O5 and K2O were 90-170 kg, 47-57 kg, 33-63 kg per hectare, respectively with MRR value 180-407%. It increased yield up to 2.7 t/ha. Although the fertilizer recommendations had a higher cost than existing fertilizer application at the farmers level, the gross revenue, income and RC ratio were higher than existing fertilizer application both in lowland and dryland. Recommended fertilizer dosages were able to decrease N fertilizer application in lowland up to 32.3 kg/ha, and on dryland 34.3 kg/ha. However, it also caused the increasing of P application by 35.7 kg and 36.4 kg K2O in lowland, whereas in dryland up to 31.5 kg P2O5/ha and 38.5 kg K2O. The recommendation of site specific fertilizer application is very useful and beneficial to increase maize productivity.   </p><p>Keywords: fertilization, site-specific, corn</p><p><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p><br />Agroekosistem pengembangan jagung di Indonesia sangat beragam.

Purpose: To evaluate the blended fertilizer formulas types, under unlimed limed condition of Asossa acid soil on soybean in Benishagul Gumuz of Ethiopia. Methods: Two factorial RCB design with three replications was used in the investigation. Five types of blended fertilizer formulas were tested under limed and unlimed condition in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design. Lime and blended fertilizer types were used as factor. The amount of lime that was applied at each location was calculated on the basis of the exchangeable acidity, bulk density and 15 cm depth of the soil. One mole of exchangeable acidity would be neutralized by an equivalent mole of CaCO3. Accordingly, the amount of lime for this particular activity would be uniformly applied for all plots at 1.5 times of the exchangeable acidity (Equation 1) and incorporated in to the soil a month before seed sowing. Results: The effects of applied lime (CaCO3) and fertilizer types on growth and yield components of soybean were non-significantly (P>0.05) influenced except 100 seed weight, whereas the lime by blended fertilizer types interaction effects were not-significantly (P>0.05) affect all growth and yield components of soybean (Table 2). The highest plant height (71.58 cm) was obtained from NPKSZnB (Formula 5 modified) fertilizer type, however statistically non-significant from the other treatments. Conclusion: The partial budget analysis indicated that, it was not necessarily based on the highest marginal rate of return, rather based on the minimum acceptable marginal rate of return and the treatment with the high net benefit, relatively low variable cost together with an acceptable MRR becomes the tentative recommendation. Therefore we recommend the treatments (100 kg /ha NPSB) that have acceptable marginal rate of return, relatively high net benefit and relatively small total cost of production for soybean production in Asossa zone.

The response of sunola (Helianthus annuus L. 'AC Sierra') to nitrogen (N) fertilization under conventional and direct seeding tillage systems was examined in field experiments at sites in the semiarid Dark Brown and subhumid Black soil climatic zones over a 2-yr period of normal to above-normal growing season precipitation. Urea-N fertilizer was banded at the time of seeding at varying rates to a maximum of 150 kg N ha−1. Tillage treatment did not influence sunola response to N fertilization. Sunola seed yield responded greater to fertilization at the Black soil site compared with the Dark Brown soil site in both years. Sunola harvest indices were comparable across sites and years, ranging from 0.10 to 0.18. Seed oil concentration averaged about 4% higher at the Black compared with the Dark Brown soil site, and responded to fertilization differently between locations. Sunola water use efficiency was markedly higher in 1994 than in 1993 at both sites, primarily due to lower water consumption by the crop. Fertilizer recommendations can be based on a desired yield goal or marginal rate of return. A minimum acceptable marginal rate of return of 1, 1.5 and 2 times the cost of the fertilizer, indicated that fertilizer N plus soil nitrate-N levels of greater than 94, 66 and 38 kg N ha−1, respectively, were uneconomical at Scott; respective rates at Melfort were 183, 174 and 154 kg N ha−1. However, fertilizer rates in excess of 100 kg N ha−1 in the Black soil climatic zone can result in potentially high levels of residual nitrate-N in the soil profile, and thus have greater potential for N leaching and denitrification losses.

Faba bean gall becomes the worst problem for the crop production. The diseases can cause up to complete crop failure. Studies showed that, applications of some fungicides and seed dressings have certain effects of reducing faba bean gall diseases and increases yield. Thus, the study aims to select best effective and economical fungicide for faba bean gall disease management. The experiment was conducted at farmers’ field on hot spot areas to manage the disease using fungicides in 2019/20 cropping season. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Nativo SC 300, Eminant star, Rex-Dou and Mancozeb 80 WP fungicides were applied as manufacturers’ recommendations. Significant difference between plots in plant height, disease severity, area under disease progress curve, grain yield and thousand kernel weights were recorded. The highest (46.67%) disease score were recorded in control plots followed by Rex-Dou (40.0%) sprayed plots. Whereas the lowest, disease severity (15.11%) were recorded from Eminant star sprayed plots. The highest grain yield was recorded in Eminant star (3.08 ton ha-1) sprayed plot followed by Nativo Sc 300 (3.01 ton ha-1) and Mancozeb 80 WP (2.54 ton ha-1) sprayed plots respectively. Eminant star sprayed plots also gave the highest economic benefit ETB (102770.0) and marginal rate of return (1678.46) followed by Nativo Sc 300 with net benefit of ETB (99190.0) and a marginal rate of return (925.40) were received. Pod per plant was not showed significant difference between plots.

A study was undertaken to evaluate the field performance and economic analysis of some commonly used insecticides against Tea mosquito bug, Helopeltis theivora Waterhouse at Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI), Srimangal, Moulvibazar. Six different insecticides–Thiodan 35EC (Endosulfan), Ripcord 10EC (Cypermethrin), Decis 2.5EC (Deltamethrin), Dimethion 40EC (Dimethoate), Metasystox 25EC (Oxydemeton), and Malathion 57EC (Malathion) were applied in the plots as recommended dose of BTRI. The shoot infestation reduction as well as yield response of all the insecticides treated plots were superior over the control but there was no significant difference among the insecticidal treatments. Better field performance against Helopeltis was found in Malathion 57 EC treated plots in respect to shoot infestation reduction over control (87.09%). Per hectare yield (1910.33 kg) as well as per hectare net return (Tk. 300927.80) were also higher in Malathion 57EC treated plots. The highest marginal rate of return (2580.57%) was obtained by spraying Metasystox 25EC over control followed by Ripcord IOEC (1710.87%) and other insecticides. The most economically acceptable insecticide against tea mosquito bug was Metasystox. Keywords: Field performance; economic analysis; insecticides; tea; Helopeltis theivora.

The experiment was carried out in the Old Brahmaputra Floodplain soil at the farmer's field of Farming System Research and Development (FSRD) site, Kushumhati, Sherpur under Sherpur district in the medium high land under AEZ-9 for the three consecutive years 2003-06 to determine economic combined dose of organic and inorganic fertilizers for Potato-Boro-T.aman cropping pattern. Six treatment management packages including one farmer's practices, and one fertilizer control were tested. The other four treatments were soil test based (STB) fertilizer dose for moderate and high yield goals (MYG and HYG), STB based fertilizer dose for HYG plus 5 t/ha cowdung (IPNS) and fertilizer dose for Fertilizer Recommendation Guide'97 (FRG '97). Average of three years' results showed that recommended fertilizer dose based on the FRG '97 was more economic than all other fertilizer doses for the whole pattern. But the treatment Integrated Plant Nutrition Systems based on fertilizer management with cowdung for high yield goal produced the maximum grain and straw yields in the first crop. Application of cowdung had no significant effect on the yield of succeeding crops. The variable cost was higher for the treatment consisting of cowdung due to additional cost of cowdung. The highest marginal rate of return 1626% was obtained from recommended fertilizer based on the FRG '97.Key Words: Balanced fertilization; cropping pattern; yield; economicsDOI: 10.3329/bjar.v34i1.5751Bangladesh J.

A total of 9 treatments of Northern Jaibo?Sar (NJS) and Northern Bio Fertilizer (NBF) in combination with different proportions of soil test based fertilizer (SBF) together with a control was applied, Northern Shakti was used instead of NBF in Boro season. Maximum net benefit and marginal rate of return was obtained in case of T. Aman and Boro season from treatment T3. On the basis of results, it may be suggested that 50% reduction of chemical fertilizer on STB along with Northern Jaibo?Sar @ 500kg/ha may be a good combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer for sustaining soil fertility and increasing T.

<p>ABSTRAK<br />Rekomendasi cara pengendalian hama pengisap daun, Amrasca<br />biguttula (ISHIDA) pada  tanaman  kapas masih  mengandalkan<br />penggunaan kombinasi varietas tahan dan perlakuan benih dengan<br />insektisida kimia sistemik imidakloprid. Namun, tidak jarang petani<br />melakukan penyemprotan insektisida kimia pada kanopi tanaman yang<br />juga dapat membunuh serangga berguna, termasuk musuh alami. Tujuan<br />penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui keefektifan teknik pengendalian A.<br />biguttula pada kapas menggunakan varietas dan insektisida. Penelitian<br />dilakukan di KP Asembagus mulai Januari sampai dengan Nopember<br />2010. Perlakuan petak utama, yaitu teknik pengendalian: (1) perlakuan<br />benih dengan imidakloprid (PB), (2) tanpa perlakuan benih maupun<br />penyemprotan kanopi tanaman atau kontrol (TPB), (3) perlakuan benih +<br />penyemprotan kanopi (PBS), dan (4) penyemprotan kanopi (S). Perlakuan<br />anak petak adalah tiga galur/varietas kapas, yaitu: (1) galur 98050/9/2/4,<br />(2) KI 645, dan (3) Kanesia 10. Pola tanam yang diterapkan adalah<br />tumpangsari kapas dan kacang hijau yang ditanam di antara baris kapas.<br />Setiap perlakuan disusun dalam rancangan petak terbagi dengan tiga kali<br />ulangan. Ukuran anak petak adalah 10 m x 15 m. Pengamatan dilakukan<br />terhadap (1) populasi nimfa A. biguttula dan predatornya, (2) frekuensi<br />pencapaian populasi ambang ekonomi, (3) skor kerusakan tanaman kapas,<br />(4) hasil kapas berbiji dan kacang hijau, dan (5) analisis ekonomi<br />perlakuan. Hasil  penelitian  menunjukkan  bahwa  setiap  teknik<br />pengendalian yang diuji berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan populasi A.<br />biguttula dan predatornya. Rata-rata pencapaian populasi ambang<br />ekonomi pada perlakuan benih (PB) dan kontrol lebih rendah (0,5–2 kali)<br />dibandingkan dengan kombinasi perlakuan benih dan penyemprotan<br />kanopi (PBS) serta penyemprotan kanopi saja (S) yang mencapai 3–4 kali.<br />Pada galur/varietas kapas yang diuji, pencapaian populasi ambang<br />ekonomi paling rendah terjadi pada galur 98050/9/2/4, diikuti oleh Kanesia<br />10 dan KI 645. Perlakuan benih saja (PB) selain menurunkan populasi A.<br />biguttula dan tidak menurunkan populasi predator, juga lebih efisien<br />dibanding perlakuan lainnya dengan nilai marginal rate of return 1,38 dan<br />peningkatan bersih 14,3%. Makna dari hasil yang diperoleh adalah<br />pengendalian A. biguttula pada kapas dengan cara menyemprot kanopi<br />lebih baik dihindari apabila benih masih dapat diperlakukan, sedapat<br />mungkin dikombinasikan dengan penggunaan varietas tahan/toleran.<br />Kata kunci : Amrasca biguttula, imidakloprid, ambang ekonomi, galur/<br />varietas, kapas, predator, marginal rate of return (MRR)</p><p>ABSTRACT<br />Effectiveness and Efficiency of Different Control<br />Techniques of Cotton Jassid, Amrasca biguttula<br />Recommendation for controlling jassid (A. biguttula) of cotton still relies<br />on the use of combination of resistant variety and seed treatment<br />(imidachloprid). Farmers, however, often spray chemical insecticides over<br />plant canopy that also kill beneficial insects, including natural enemies.<br />This study was conducted at Asembagus Experimental Station from<br />January to November 2010. The objective of the study was to find out the<br />effectiveness and efficiency of control techniques against cotton jassid, A.<br />biguttula. This field study consisted of two factors. First factor consisted<br />of three different control techniques i.e. (1) seed treatment (PB), (2)<br />without seed treatment and foliar application or control (TPB), (3)<br />combination between seed treatment and foliar application (PBS), and (4)<br />foliar application alone (S). Second factor consisted of three cotton<br />varieties, e.g. 98050/9/2/4, KI 645, and Kanesia 10. Treatments were<br />arranged in a split plot design with three replicates. Cotton intercropped<br />with mung bean planted in between cotton rows. Population of A. biguttula<br />and its predator, economic threshold achievement, score of plant injury,<br />yields of cotton and mung bean were observed. Economic analysis of the<br />treatments was evaluated at the end of the experiment. Results showed that<br />each control techniques caused different effect on jassid and its predator<br />development. The average of economic threshold achievement in seed<br />treatment application (PB) and control (TPB) were lower (0.5-2.0 times)<br />compared to combination between seed treatment and foliar sprayed<br />(PBS), also only foliar sprayed (3-4 times). Averaged of economic<br />threshold achievement on 98050/9/2/4 line was the lowest, followed by<br />Kanesia 10 and KI 645. Application of seed treatment (PB) not only<br />reduced jassid population but also less effective on predator population. It<br />was more efficient than other treatments with marginal rate 1.38 and did<br />increase net income by 14.3%. It means that foliar sprays to control A.<br />biguttula on cotton should be ignored, if applying seed treatment and<br />resistant/tolerant varieties.<br />Key words: Amrasca biguttula, imidachloprid, economic threshold,<br />cotton cultivar/variety, predator, marginal rate of return<br />(MRR)</p>
