A field experiment was conducted at the field of CAMPUS OF LIVE SCIENCES, Dang having clay loam soil to evaluate effect of integrated management of FYM and urea in cabbage. This experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having six treatments with three replications. Golden Ball variety of cabbage was selected for this research as a test crop. The application of FYM and urea shows significant result on the plant height, number of leaves, length of plant, head diameter and biomass yield. The maximum head diameter was observed in treatment 50%FYM +50% UREA (14.31cm).The highest total yield (9.63Mt/ha) and highest economic yield (6.16Mt/ha) was obtained from treatment 50%UREA +50 %FYM which was similar with recommend rate of fertilizer for cabbage. The highest soil pH (6.40), soil moister content (40.46%), the lowest bulk density (1.12g/cm3) was obtained from FYM application. The highest organic matter content (1.46) was also observed from FYM application. The most of the soil properties were enhanced by application of FYM and UREA. Furthermore, FYM played important role in maintaining soil physical property. In addition, this study indicates the possibility of FYM application to reduce nutrient risk by enhancing physio-chemical properties of clay loam soil. This result will helpful for the student and scientists in further research to increase the productivity and for the improvement of soil property.

AbstractAmendment of soil with biochar has been shown to enhance fertility and increase crop productivity, but the specific influence of biochar on soil workability remains unclear. Select physico-mechanical and chemical properties of clay loam and sandy loam soils were measured after amendment with wood-derived biochar of two particle size ranges (0.5-425 and 425-850 µm) at five dosages ranging from 0.5 to 10% dry weight. Whereas the clay loam soil workability decreased when the finer wood-derived biochar was applied at rates of 6 or 10%, soil fertility was not enhanced. The sandy loam soil, due to Proctor compaction, significantly decreased in bulk density with 6 and 10% wood-derived biochar amendments indicating higher soil resistance to compaction.

Field experiments were conducted with sunflower as a test crop during 2010-11 to study the dissipation kinetics and the persistence of pendimethalin and alachlor in sandy clay loam soil and its terminal residues in sunflower. Herbicides were applied at recommended and double the recommended dose along with control and the treatments were replicated thrice in randomized block design. The soil and plant samples collected at periodical intervals for herbicides residue determination using GC equipped with ECD detector. Results shows that the degradation of both the herbicides in soil was faster at higher dose of application than at the lower dose and the concentration decreased with the advancement in crop growth. While pendimethalin persisted in soil for 60 – 90 days, the alachlor persisted in soil for 30 - 45 days depending on the quantity of application. Degradation of both the herbicides in soil followed first order kinetics with the mean half life of 14.6 and 9.8 days respectively for pendimethalin and alachlor. Residues of these herbicides were below 0.001 mg/kg at the time of harvest in soil, sunflower seeds and stalks showed that these herbicides a can be safely used for the control of weeds in sunflower cultivation.

The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisted of 6 treatments. Taking the JS 95-60 as test variety in clay loam soil. Analysis of soil and plant samples was done as per standard methods.The present experiment was laid out in the field No.52 at Research Farm of R. A. K. College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.) during Kharif season, 2013 & 2014 The experimental site having fairly uniform topography with normal fertility status. The effect of integrated nutrient management and mulching on plant height was noticed non significant. However , branches per plant, Root length/ plant (cm), Dry weight/ plant (g), Pods/plant(no), Seed index(g), and Grain yield(kg/ha) were found to increase significantly due to the application of 50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ V.C. 1.5t/ha + B.F.+ A.M. + Mulching(T6) followed by treatment T4 and T5 ( Table 3) over other treatments. The such increase in soybean growth and yield was attributed to the increase in availability of nutrients with application of inorganic fertilizer.

Merauke Regency is one of the districts in Papua Province which borders directly with neighboring Papua New Guinea (PNG), which in addition is a rice development area. In general, new openings, poor physical and chemical properties with porous soils, thin layer, low organic matter content, high salinity and drought problems. This study aims to determine the productivity of rice in new openings in the border region. The study was conducted in Merauke Regency, Papua Province from April to August 2018. The design used was a factorial Randomized Block Design with 5 factor children, each variety used was Inpari-32, Inpari-33, Inpari-43, Inpara-8, Dodok Erok. The results of the study were acid soil pH status, high and very high organic matter, very low cation exchange rate. The components of growth in plant height, productive tillers and panicle length were not significantly different. The yield component was significantly different in the highest number of unripe per-panicle Inpara-8 (140.3 g), the highest empty grain per panicle Inpara-8 (55.5 grains) and the 1000 heaviest Dodok Erok 29.4 g. Whereas Grain content, Dry Grain Harvest is not real.

In a 140 × 50-m plot area on a Dark Brown Chernozemic clay loam soil subdivided into two subplots by direction of slope, total nitrogen (TN) and total organic matter (TOM) were significantly correlated with elevation after accounting for direction of slope. This finding, in an area that is not a closed hydrological basin and appears relatively flat, suggests aspect deserves consideration in the layout and sampling of experiments which include characterization of TN and TOM.

The purpose of this work is to assess the effects of different land-use practices on the quality of agricultural soils in Quebec. Studies done on three dairy farms, using the traditional rotation of 1 yr of cereals and 4 yr of hay, showed that the conversion of forest soils into agricultural soils caused a drop in nitrogen of 8% for a clay loam soil, but 21 and 31% for the sandy and silty loam soils, while the loss of organic matter was near 33% for the three soils. The decrease in water-stable aggregate was 84% on the clay loam soil and 50% on the two lighter soils. Work done on continuous meadows of 5 yr or longer showed significant increases in organic matter content and water-aggregate stability. Conversion from typical dairy-farm rotations to continuous corn and cereal rotations reduced structural stability and soil organic matter, as well as soil productivity, even when nutrient levels were improved by use of fertilizers. Other preliminary data indicate that soil compaction by heavy farm machinery, and drainage of organic soils may further reduce soil quality.
