Screen-house and field experiments were carried out to evaluate and compare the activities of Root grow (mycorrhiza fungi) and broiler droppings (singly and both) on root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting Cucumber, Cucumis sativus (L). The experiment was designed as a 2 by 5 factorial fitted into a Complete Randomised Design (CRD) and Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for screen house and field experiments respectively. Two levels each of the two treatments were evaluated both in the screen house and on the field. Root-grow (mycorrhiza fungi) was evaluated at the rate of 0.5 g and 1.0 g while broiler droppings were evaluated at the rate of 50 g and 100 g. The effects of treatments on vegetative growth as well as nematode damage and population were determined both in the screen house and on the field. All data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and where treatment means were significant, multiple comparisons of treatments were done using Tukey’s honesty significant difference at a 5 % level of significance. Broiler droppings at 100 g and 50 g were more effective in controlling nematode than the two levels of Root grow (mycorrhiza fungi). Plant growth was best with broiler droppings at 100 g followed by broiler droppings at 50 g. Nematode population was reduced in all plant treated and were less galled compared with the control. The results showed that broiler droppings and mycorrhiza fungi can be used in controlling root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on cucumber

Experiment was conducted during spring season 2017 in the experimental station of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape, College of Agriculture Diyala University, Iraq. In order to understand some of the effects and adaptations of the vegetative growth of the cucumber plant affected by water stress and the experiments were arranged in a Split-Split Plot Design in R.C.B.D. and with three replicates. The experiment factors were as follows: the genotypes of cucumbers, namely Demmy (V1) and Ghazeer (V2) and Wesam (V3), and second: two levels of irrigation are Complete irrigation 100% (I1) of field capacity and 50% of complete irrigation (I2). Third, spray glutathione in three concentrations (0, 50, 100) mg L-1 and its symbol (G0, G1, G2). The results of the study showed the superiority of the genotype plants in the number of leaves and leafy area (91.72 leaves plan-1 and 213.9 dcm2 plants-1) respectively. whereas the irrigated plants exceeded the level 100% significantly for all studied traits compared with the level of irrigation 50%. Also, the glutathione spray levels exceeded 50 and 100 mg L-1 (without significant difference between them) by all the characteristics compared to the comparison treatment (G0). The results of the triple interference between the genotypes, irrigation levels, and levels of glutathione spraying showed significant differences in the vegetative growth of cucumber plants, Since the treatment of interference V3I1G2 was superior to the number of branches (5, 766 branches plant-1), the total paper area (239.0 dcm 2 plants-1) and the concentration of chlorophyll (45.72 spad), While treatment V3I1G1 was superior to the number of leaves (99.66 leaves per plant-1) and dry matter percentage in the vegetative total(16.00%), and treatment V2I1G2 to excellence in plant length (148.6 cm).

Global agricultural production is accountable for the emission of ~30% of greenhouse gases. Therefore, the wide-scale adoptions of low-input, soil-friendly, and resource-conserving agronomic practices are imperative for the ‘planet healthy food production’ and also for reducing the carbon emissions from agricultural soil. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze the impacts of integrated agronomic interventions i.e., the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) + reduced tillage (RT), biochar + RT, and AMF + biochar + RT, on spatiotemporal variations in soil-quality and soil-sustainability indicators, including microbial and soil respiration, in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) of North India. For this, field experiments on the above-mentioned agronomic interventions were employed using three different staple crops (Zea mays, Vigna mungo, and Brassica juncea) growing in three different agro-climatic zones of IGP (Varanasi, Sultanpur, and Gorakhpur) in a randomized block design. Periodic data collection was done to analyze the changes in physiochemical, biological, and biochemical properties of the soil, and statistical analyses were done accordingly. Irrespective of the sites, the experimental results proved that the integrated application of AMF + biochar + RT in V. mungo resulted in the highest soil organic carbon (i.e., 135% increment over the control) and microbial biomass carbon (24%), whereas the same application (i.e., AMF + biochar + RT) in Z. mays had the maximum reduction in microbial (32%) and soil (44%) respiration. On the other hand, enhanced occurrence of glomalin activity (98%) was noted in Z. mays cropping for all the sites. Significant negative correlation between soil respiration and glomalin activity under AMF + biochar + RT (−0.85), AMF + RT (−0.82), and biochar + RT (−0.62) was an indication of glomalin’s role in the reduced rate of soil respiration. The research results proved that the combined application of AMF + biochar + RT was the best practice for enhancing soil quality while reducing respiration. Therefore, the development of suitable packages of integrated agronomic practices is essential for agricultural sustainability.
