Water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) had been identified as a nutritious vegetable with high demand in Indonesia. Besides, this plant also has been evidenced to play an important role in environmental cleaning as phytoremediator. The study about the effect of organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) has been conducted in the Green House of Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Medan. The study aims to investigate the most effective type of fertilizers and the dose for water spinach’s (Ipomoea reptans Poir) growth and yield. A Completely Randomized Factorial Design was designed for the experiment with two factors and three repetitions. The first factor is the type of fertilizer (chicken manure, cow manure, and compost), and the second factor is the dose of the fertilizer (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1). The parameters such as plant height, number of shoots, number of leaves, fresh weight, dry weight, leaf’s total chlorophyll content, and water content were measured to evaluate plant growth and yield. The General Linear Model used SPSS 21 programs was applied to analyze the collected data. Study results revealed that cow manure increased plant growth and yield significantly with dose 2:1 as the finest treatment, followed by dose 3:1. Cow manure also increased total chlorophyll content (8.0574c mg. L-1), with the most suitable dose was 2:1 (8.2807 mg. L-1). The plant’s water content tended to be high in chicken manure (93%), and the lower water content was in cow manure with dose 3:1 (87.5%).

An experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm of Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during Kharif 2009 and 2010 on medium clay loam soils to assess the influence of different levels and sources of phosphorus fertilization as well as plant growth regulators on productivity of soybean. Twenty seven treatments i.e. three levels (20, 30 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) and three sources (Single super phosphate or SSP; phosphorus rich organic manure or PROM and di-ammonium phosphate or DAP) of phosphorus in main plots and three PGRs (water spray, benzyl adenine 50 ppm and NAA 100 ppm) in sub plots of a split plot design having three replications. Results revealed that application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded significantly higher pooled yield (q ha-1) of grain (25.95), stover (37.34) and total biomass (63.29); crop growth rate or CGR (g m-2day-1) between 30-60 days after sowing ( DAS)(18.83) and 61-90 DAS (11.96); total chlorophyll content at 45 DAS (2.26%) and 60 DAS (2.80%); Leaf area index(LAI) at 45 DAS (1.56) and 60 DAS (3.44) and green leaves plant-1 at 45 DAS (11.98) and 60 DAS (21.43). Among different phosphorus sources, SSP outperformed DAP and PROM on pooled yield (q ha-1) of grain (25.12), stover (36.23) and total biomass (61.35); CGR (g m-2day-1) between 30-60 DAS (11.22) and 61-90 DAS (10.94); total chlorophyll content at 45 DAS (2.26%) and 60 DAS (2.76%); LAI at 45 DAS (1.51) and 60 DAS (3.42) and green leaves plant-1 at 45 DAS (11.77) and 60 DAS (21.35). Foliar application of NAA recorded significantly higher pooled yield (q ha-1) of grain (24.23), stover (35.73) and total biomass (60.01) than benzyl adenine and water spray. However, variations recorded under NAA and benzyl adenine in CGR, total chlorophyll content, LAI and green leave plant-1at different stages of soybean crop were statistically at par.

Growth and yield responses of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) hybrid Nathalie to a bovine vermicompost leachate Resumen El pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.) es una hortaliza muy apreciada en el mundo por sus propiedades nutritivas, sus aplicaciones médicas y como condimento a los alimentos. En Ecuador se cultiva en varias provincias, y en todos los casos se utilizan altas cantidades de fertilizantes químicos sintéticos. Una opción es el empleo de bioestimulantes orgánicos que permiten producciones limpias. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo investigar las respuestas del crecimiento y el rendimiento del pimiento híbrido Nathalie a la aplicación de un lixiviado de vermicompost bovino (LVCB). Se ensayaron seis tratamientos experimentales: suelo sin fertilizar, fertilizante químico YaraMilaTM ComplexTM, y tres diluciones de LVCB (1:10, 1:20 y 1:30 v/v). Las variables del crecimiento evaluadas fueron la altura de las plantas, el diámetro del tallo, la cantidad de hojas y el contenido de clorofilas totales a los 15, 30 y 45 días después del trasplante. Las variables del rendimiento (longitud, circunferencia y peso de los frutos) se midieron en cuatro cosechas. Se calculó el rendimiento estimado por hectárea a partir del peso total de los frutos de las cuatro cosechas y el área ocupada por las plantas muestreadas. No se observaron diferencias significativas en las variables del crecimiento y el contenido total de clorofilas entre los tratamientos experimentales. Los rendimientos estimados de todas las diluciones de LVCB fueron similares a los obtenidos con fertilizante químico y superaron al suelo sin fertilizar. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el uso de LVCB puede convertirse en una alternativa sostenible para la producción de pimiento sin contaminar el medio ambiente. Palabras clave: pimiento; Capsicum annuum L.; bioestimulantes. Abstract The pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a vegetable highly prized in the world for its nutritional properties, medical applications and as a condiment to food. In Ecuador it is grown in several provinces, and in all cases high amounts of synthetic chemical fertilizers are used. One option is the use of organic biostimulants that allow clean productions. This work aimed to investigate the growth and yield responses of the Nathalie hybrid pepper to the application of a leachate of bovine vermicompost (LVCB). Six experimental treatments were tested: unfertilized soil, YaraMilaTM ComplexTM chemical fertilizer, and three dilutions of LVCB (1:10, 1:20 and 1:30 v/v). The growth variables evaluated were the height of the plants, the diameter of the stem, the amount of leaves and the total chlorophyll content at 15, 30 and 45 days after transplantation. The yield variables (length, circumference and weight of the fruits) were measured in four crops. The estimated yield per hectare was calculated from the total weight of the fruits of the four crops and the area occupied by the sampled plants. No significant differences were observed in the growth variables and the total chlorophyll content between the experimental treatments. The estimated yields of all dilutions of LVCB were similar to those obtained with chemical fertilizer and exceeded the soil without fertilizing. The results obtained suggest that the use of LVCB can become a sustainable alternative for pepper production without polluting the environment. Keywords: pepper; Capsicum annuum L.; bioestimulants.

Nutrient availability is very significant in supporting plant growth. The low content of organic fertilizers and existing minerals appear as the primary limiting factors for soybean cultivation on acid soils. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the effect of organic fertilizers and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plant growth and yield. A completely randomized block design (CRBD) factorial with three replications was employed, where the first variable involved the chicken and cow composts as well as Tithonia green fertilizer. Meanwhile, the second referred to PGPR at 0, 5, 10 and 15 ml.L<sup>-1</sup>. The results showed no interaction between the application of organic fertilizers and PGPR on soybean growth as well as the yield. Furthermore, the cow manure treatment of 10 t.ha<sup>-1</sup> reportedly increased the total dry weight and sample growth rate by 0.44 and 0.86%, respectively, compared to the chicken manure at similar composition. Also, 10 ml.L<sup>-1</sup> of PGPR was known to improve the pod quantity per plant and harvest index by 0.58 and 2.66% harvest index, correspondingly, than without PGPR.
