A study was carried out in an attempt to obtain simple and efficient soil test method(s) for determination of available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in Mollisols. Soil samples were collected before sowing of direct-seeded rice (DSR) and wheat in sequence to evaluate the soil test methods for available N, P and K. Methods used were wet-oxidation for organic carbon (OC); alkaline KMnO4 for available N; Olsen’s-P, AB-DTPA and Mehlich-I for available P; and NH4OAc-K, AB-DTPA and Mehlich-I for available K. Suitability of these methods for given soil nutrients was evaluated by comparing the R2 values (coefficient of determination) obtained from regression analysis. Results showed that the R2 values of obtained equations by using different combinations of soil test methods for the determination of available N, P and K in soil were highly significant in both the crops. Highest R2 value for DSR (0.442**) and wheat (0.898**) were observed with the combination of OC, Olsen’s-P, ABDTPA-K, and OC, Olsen’s-P, Mehlich-K, respectively. It showed that these combinations are more promising and superior over other methods.

Changes In Soil Properties

A two year experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi season of 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 at experimental site near Faculty of Forestry in main campus of Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Sole cropping and gamhar based agrisilviculture systems with four different intercrops (arhar, cowpea, greengram and mustard) were under investigation. To study the overall scenario of soil properties under agrisilviculture system, soil samples were analysed at different profile depths (0-15 and 15-30 cm) to measure the changes in soil properties under the influence of gamhar (Gmelina arborea) tree and intercrops grown in between. Soil pH, electrical conductivity (dsm-1), organic carbon (%), available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (kg ha-1) were found higher at the soil depth 0-15 cm as compared to 15-30 cm due to addition of organic residue on the surface soil. Soil OC, available N, P and K in 0-15 cm as well as in 15-30 cm profile was found to be statistically significant. It showed an increase from initial value in all the treatments in 2016-17 and 2017-18. The increase was more in gamhar based agrisilviculture system than in sole tree and sole crops in both the years.

Total Soil Nitrogen

Several methods for providing an index of the availability of soil nitrogen were evaluated by relating laboratory soil test values to yields of dry matter and uptake or nitrogen by orchardgrass in the greenhouse. Determination of soil organic matter or total soil nitrogen contents was relatively ineffective. Available nitrogen initially present in the soil at sampling time, extracted by several different methods, was superior to measurements of nitrogen released upon incubation. The nitrate form of nitrogen, either initially present or released upon incubation, served as a better index of soil nitrogen availability than the ammonium form. Inclusion of initial nitrates and nitrates released upon incubation as independent variables in a multiple regression resulted in the highest correlation with total nitrogen uptake. In the three incubation methods evaluated, discarding the initial nitrogen content of the soil, as is commonly done, severely reduced the validity of the tests as measures of nitrogen availability.

The study was conducted in the nursery of Hort. Dept., College of Agriculture and Forestry, Mosul University, Iraq, during 2018 season to study the response of budded "Zaghinia" apricot on seedlings rootstock to bio, organic and chemical fertilizers, and their effects on seedling growth. The studied factors were as follows: Bio fertilizer Fulzyme (0,1and 2 g. seedling-1 ), organic fertilizer (Rice residue) (0, 1 and 2 kg. seedling-1 ) and DAP fertilizers (0, 5 and 10 g. seedling-1 ). The study was performed by using split-split plots within factorial experiment in randomized complete block design (RCBD), with 3 factors and 3 replicates, by using 6 seedlings for each treatment. Treatment means were compared by using Duncan multiple levels at 5% p. the most important results obtained were as follows: 1 and 2 gm.seedling-1 of bio fertilizer (Fulzyme) and Chemical fertilizer (DAP) at the levels 5 and 10 g. seedling-1 affected significantly resulted in a significant increase in soil available nitrogen, while the addition of organic fertilizer (rice residues) and for both levels 1 and 2 kg. Seedling-1 gave a significant increase in nitrogen, phosphorus, ready-made potassium and pH of the seedling soil, and the bilateral interaction had a significant role in the growth of seedlings, especially the treatment of the interaction between the fertilizer (Fulzym) and organic fertilizer (Rice residues), which have a significant effect in giving the best results in available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil, and the triple interference also gave a significant increase in all studied traits.

Rotatable Design

The response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques useful for the modeling and analysis of problems in which a response of interest is influenced by several variables, and the objective is to optimize the response. The objective of the study was to model the rose coco beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) through an existing A-optimum and D-efficient second order rotatable design of twenty four points in three dimensions in a greenhouse setting using three inorganic fertilizers, namely, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Thus, the objective of the study was accomplished using the calculus optimum value of the free/letter parameter f=1.1072569. This was done by estimating the parameters via least square's techniques, by making available for the yield response of rose coco beans at calculus optimum value design for the first time. The results showed that, the three factors: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contributed significantly on the yield of rose coco beans (p<0.05). In GP3G, the second-order model was adequate for 1% level of significance with p value of 0.0034. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of response surface for rose coco yield showed that this design was adequate due to satisfactory level of a coefficient of determination, R2, 0.8066 and coefficient variation, CV was 10.30. This study demonstrated the importance of statistical methods in the optimal and efficient production of rose coco beans. We do recommend a randomize screening of all the fertilizer components with which it has influence on rose coco beans be done to ascertain the right initial amount of each fertilizer that could achieve maximum yield than this study realized.

Abstract A modification of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometer is described that enables the simultaneous determination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in water-soluble fertilizers. A quartz extension tube is added to the ICP torch to exclude air from the plasma, thus allowing accurate nitrogen determination without adversely affecting sensitivity for other analytes. The modification also requires an 18 mg/L argon coolant flow to protect the tube from the heat of the plasma. Detection limits are 20 mg/L for nitrogen and 50 μg/L for phosphorus and potassium. Three NBS reference salts and 2 commercially available fertilizers were analyzed by the method, and results are in excellent agreement with known values.

The field experiment was conducted to estimate the native nutrient supplying capacity of soil in western terai of Nepal during 2013/14 and 2014/15. The experimental site consisted three areas: Pakadi VDC ward no.-3, Barrohiya of Kapilvastu district; Ramgram municipality ward no.-1, Sanda of Nawalparasi district and Tukuligadh VDC ward no.-1, Rehara of Rupandehi district. The indigenous nutrients supplying capacity of the soil was determined by establishing omission plots for wheat cultivation with six treatments each of 50 m2 and 4 farmers from each site was taken assuming one farmer as one replication. Among the six treatments, -N, -P, -K, –Zn and –B were set to estimate the inherent N, P, K, Zn and B supplying capacity of soil respectively. From two years of experiment, it has been clear that inherent N and K supplying capacity of soil in selected areas is very low. The highest grain yield of 3.33 t/ha and 2.75 t/ha was measured from fully fertilized plots in 2013/14 and 2014/15 respectively and the lowest grain yield of wheat was obtained from nitrogen missing plots in both years (1.74 t/ha and 1.51 ton/ha) followed by potassium missing plots (1.74t/ha). Farmers manage their field in a different way, so large variation was seen even in small area. Nitrogen was found to be most limiting nutrient for wheat growth followed by potassium and phosphorous in all sites. Therefore, use of optimum dose of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be used for efficient nutrient uptake which ultimately increases wheat productivity.
