scholarly journals Effect of Planting Time and Planting System on the Growth and Yield of Some Garlic Germplasm

The vegetative growth, yield attributes and yield of garlic depends on timely planting, planting system and high yielding cultivar. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of planting time, planting system with variety on the growth and yield of garlic germplasm. Two experiments were performed during the study, and the experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Four planting time (such as 26 October, 9 November, 20 November and 10 December), two factors for planting system (such as zero tillage and dry land) and four varieties (such as BAU garlic-1, BAU garlic-2, BAU garlic-3 and G-51) were considered during the experiments. The results revealed that the planting time had significant influence on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of garlic. The highest values of growth parameters as well as bulb yield (10.33 t/ha) were obtained at 26 October whereas the lowest values were recorded at 10 December resulting bulb yield (8.47 t/ha). On the other hand, the planting system had also significant influence on the vegetative growth and yield of garlic. The highest values of growth characters, yield attributes and yield of garlic was found in zero tillage compared to dry land. BAU Garlic-3 was provided the highest growth as well as bulb yield among other three varieties. It was also noticed that, the combined treatment of zero tillage and variety of BAU Garlic-3 gave the highest values of growth and yield attributes as well as bulb yield (8.80 t/ha) parallel with other combined effects. Results expressed that the early planting and the combination of zero tillage and BAU Garlic-3 variety has given the profound effects on the growth parameters as bulb yield of garlic.

Lilium is one of the most important cut flower and ranks second among bulbous flowers in international market. The scope of the study lies in the fact that despite having the congenial climate of Kashmir for bulb production, the cultivators are importing the bulbs from abroad, so there was need to rationalize the nutrition for optimum plant growth and bulb yield of lilies under Kashmir valley conditions. Consequently, an investigation was undertaken to evaluate the differential response of Asiatic lilies cultivars to different methods of application and nitrogen sources (urea and calcium nitrate) in terms of plant growth, bulb development and yield. Significant differences were observed in growth parameters and behaviour of two cultivars viz., Serreda and Navona. Calcium nitrate significantly improved plant height, leaf area (LA) and LA index (LAI) recorded at 50, 75, 90, and 105 days after planting (DAP). Bulb yield parameters (weight of mother bulb, weight of bulblets, number of bulbs plant-1, propagation coefficient) varied significantly between the two cultivars. Calcium nitrate significantly improved bulb weight, bulb circumference, the number of bulbs plant−1 and propagation coefficient. However, the effect of three and four split nitrogen application on plant height, LA and LAI was significant at 90-105 day interval. Ca(NO3)2 was more effective in ensuring the prompt availability of nitrogen to plants as compared to urea (NH2CONH2); also it was advantageous for improving the bulb growth because of presence of critically important micronutrient i.e. calcium. Split application of nitrogen was advantageous not only in improving the growth and yield attributes but also in preventing the significant losses of nitrogen caused by various processes such as leaching.

Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) developed four garlic variety viz., BAU Garlic-1; BAU Garlic-2; BAU Garlic-3; and BAU Garlic-4 were tested under two cultivation systems viz., zero-tillage and tillage to find out a suitable variety for zero-tillage system. This study was conducted following randomized complete block design with three replicates. Results showed that planting system had significant influenced on growth, yield contributing traits and bulb yield of garlic. It was also observed that all the studied traits were higher in zero-tillage condition as compared to tillage system. There were significant variations noticed among the garlic varieties on plant growth and yield traits. However, in combination of planting system and variety, it was found that BAU Garlic-3 performed superior on plant growth and bulb yield of garlic under zero-tillage system. From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that BAU Garlic-3 could be useful technology for cultivation of garlic in zero-tillage system.

An experiment was conducted with a local cultivar of garlic to study the effects of planting date and gibberellic acid on the growth and yield of garlic at the field laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2001 to April 2002. Early planting influenced the plant height, leaf number, bulb diameter and total dry matter. With the delay in planting time starting from November 7, the yield was chronologically reduced in later plantings. Significantly the highest bulb yield (2.67 t/ha) was recorded when planting was done on November 7 and lowest yield (0.92 t/ha) was obtained from December 22 planted crop. Bulb yield was higher in control plants than those of GA3 treated plants. The interaction effects of planting date and different concentrations of GA3 differed significantly in respect of plant height, number of leaves, bulb diameter and dry weight of roots, leaves and bulbs and yield of garlic.

The present study aimed to the effect of different organic manures on the growth and yield attributes of cotton by conducting field experiments during rice fallow season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute, Aduthurai.. The cotton growth parameters such as plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production and monopodial branches plant-1 were significantly influenced by the application of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer through vermicompost (on equal N basis). Also application of recommended dose of fertilizer through vermicompost (on equal N basis) recorded significantly higher yield attributes viz., sympodial branches plant-1, number of bolls plant-1, boll weight and seed cotton yield (17.4 and 18.6 q ha-1 during both the years, respectively). Economic analysis also indicated that Insitu vermicomposting produced higher net returns with higher B:C ratio.

Abstract Chitosan is a natural heterogeneous polymer, non-toxic and find many potential applications in agriculture. The search of a biopolymer to replace the synthetic agrochemicals, the effects of foliar application of chitosan solution on agronomic performance under field experiments have been investigated in two consecutive harvests (2014/2015 and 2015) of soybean and maize. Two chitosan concentrations (0.5 and 1%) were sprayed four times during the culture development and the evaluation was based on morphological characteristics, growth and yield components. Seeds were collected to determine the content of macro- and micronutrients. Results revealed that most of the morphological and growth parameters (plant height, leaf number per plant) and yield attributes were not increased with the chitosan treatment in soybean and maize. The soybean treated with foliar application of chitosan 0.5% increased the accumulation of nitrogen by 9.14% when compared with the water treatment, but the effect was not consistent in both seasons and cultivars. The values of the other nutrients did not change the content. Maize plants treated with chitosan (0.5% or 1%) significantly decreased the boron concentration by 66.7% in the grains analyzed and may have influenced the plant development (height) without altering the other agronomic parameters. Therefore, whereas the climatic conditions in these two seasons were stable and biotic or abiotic stresses were not observed, foliar application of chitosan solution did not present differences that could establish a pattern of behavior in field experiments conducted by two harvests.

Background: French bean is used both as dry seeds or as green pod vegetable and it is in increasing demand throughout Fiji. Limited agronomical information is available for its cultivation which is one of the barriers in increasing its production in country. This research aimed to study the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Fiji. Methods: This research was conducted during April to September 2018 in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and seven treatments of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Observations on growth parameters and yield attributes were recorded and analyzed using analysis of variance technique. Result: Organic and inorganic fertilizers combinations significantly increase the growth and green pod yield of French bean. The applications of nutrient in combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers were found more effective than inorganic fertilizers or organic manure alone for growth and yield of French bean. The combination of 100% NPK (200 kg ha-1) along with Poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 was found most effective for enhancing growth and yield. It was recorded that on the basis of yield and growth performance treatment 100% NPK along with PM @ 5 t ha-1 was superior.
