Organic Manures

Field experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic manures and biofortification of selenium on growth, yield and selenium contentof cucumber (CucumissativusL.) during 2019 at Koneripalayam village in Perambalur district, Tamil Nadu. The popular variety Green Long suitable for this region was used for the present study. The experiment was carried out during two seasonsviz., Season I (February-May) and Season II (July-October)in randomised block design with fifteen treatments and three replications. The results of the experiment revealed that application of 25 tFYM ha -1 and 2 kg CBF ha -1 along with foliar application of Se (20 µg L-1) significantly recorded the highest vine length (209.1 cm and 214.6 cm), number of leaves (108.2 and 113.7), leaf length (15.7 cm and 15.9 cm) and leaf breadth (16.2 cm and 16.5 cm) in first and second season, respectively. The highest number of fruits per vine (13.3 and 16.5), fruit length (19.6 cm and 20.8 cm), fruit girth (17.1 cm and 18.2 cm), mean single fruit weight (78.1 g and 81.2 g), fruit yield vine-1 (723.5 g and 1009.2 g)and selenium content per fruit (8.1 µg kg-1 and 10.6 µg kg-1) in first and second season respectively was obtained with1 t EM ha -1 + 2 kg CBF ha -1 + Se (20 µg L-1) as foliar application. Among all the organic manures, farmyard manure was proved to be superior in respect of growth parameters and enriched manure in respect of yield parameters. The foliar application of selenium was found to be the best method of its supplementation in plants and relatively higher values of Se content in fruits were noted with higher dose of Se as folior application.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019 at farmer’s field in Panruti near Cuddalore district (Tamil Nadu) to study effect of organic manures as INM component on growth, yield and quality of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) in a randomized block design. The treatments consisted of recommended dose of fertilizers at two levels (160:60:30 and 120:45:22.5 kg NPK ha-1) and organic manures (20 t FYM ha-1, 50 kg Bio ash ha-1, 5 t press mud granules ha-1, 20 kg Sea weed extract granules ha-1 and 5 t neem cake ha-1) and replicated three times. The growth and yield parameters of chilli were significantly influenced due to application of organic manures. Among the treatments, 75% RDF + 20 t FYM + 20 kg Sea weed extract granules + 5 t neem cake ha-1 (T8) exhibited better performances of growth and yield parameters of chilli cv. Indus 13. The maximum values of growth parameters such as plant height, leaves plant-1, branches plant-1, canopy volume, chlorophyll content in the leaves and net photosynthetic rate were observed in this treatment (T8). The yield parameters such as days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, flowers plant-1, fruit set, fruits plant-1, fruit length, fruit girth, pericarp thickness, pulp seed ratio, single fruit weight, total fruit yield (28.18 t ha-1) and quality parameters like capsaicin content (0.76%) and ascorbic acid content (171.3 mg g-1) were highest in this treatment (T8) suggested this is the best integrated nutrient management combination for chilli. Application of 100% RDF (160 : 30 : 30 kg ha-1) proved inferior in respect of growth and yield of chilli.

Moringa Leaf Extract

Moringa is a valuable plant whose leaves are enriched with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and mineral nutrients and can be used as a bio-stimulant. A field work was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh, during rabi season from November 2017 to February 2018 in order to investigate the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) on growth, yield and nutrient status of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four treatments and three replications. The treatments were T1 (control), T2 (MLE) sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting only], T3 (MLE sprayed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after transplanting), T4(MLE sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting and after every two weeks thereafter). The rate of MLE application was 25 mL plant-1. All the treatments received recommended dose of N, P, K, S, Zn and B fertilizers. The application of MLE significantly improved the growth parameters, yield and yield contributing characters as well as nutrient content and uptake of cabbage. Among the parameters plant height (33.40 cm), leaf number (19.33 cm), length of the largest leaf (29.00 cm), head thickness (9.67 cm), head diameter (20.33 cm), gross yield (72.83 t ha-1) and marketable yield (48.87 t ha-1), were maximum in T4 where MLE was sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting and after every two weeks thereafter. The lowest values of all these parameters were found in T1 where no MLE was sprayed. Foliar application of MLE also improved the concentration and uptake of macronutrients (N, P, K and S) in head of cabbage. Thus, application of MLE as a bio-stimulant has the potentiality to enhance growth, yield and nutritional quality of cabbage. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2020, 6(2): 196-203

The thirteen treatments having six different concentration of phytohoromnes viz., T1 (20 ppm NAA), T2 (40 NAA), T3 (60 ppm NAA), T4 (25 ppm GA3), T5 (50 ppm GA3), T6 (75 ppm GA3), and six different concentrations of micronutrients viz., T7 (Boron 0.1%),T8 (Boron 0.2%), T9 (Boron 0.3%), T10 (Zinc 0.1%), T11 (Zinc 0.2%), T12 (Zinc 0.3%) and T13 (control-water spray) for a “Kashi Uttam” cultivar of brinjal were grown under randomized complete block design (RCBD) having three replications. The results findings indicated that treatment T4 (25 ppm GA3) had significant effect on growth parameters, mainly plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, crop canopy, number of side roots and main root length. Similarly, yield parameters like number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant were found to be significantly superior under treatment T4 (25 ppm GA3). Number of branches per plant, stem diameter, main root length and fruit weight were found superior under treatment T1 (20 ppm NAA). Among the different concentrations of micronutrients treatment T9 (Boron 0.3%) and T12 (Zinc 0.3%) were found to be significant over control. It can be concluded that the phyto-hormones and micro-nutrients can be judiciously used for increasing the growth and yield of brinjal.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2012 to study the biochemical efficacy of Homa organic farming practices in okra (Abelomoschus esculentus var. Arka Anamika) and laid out in randomized block design with 18 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments consist of control treatments i.e. conventional control and homa control; homa treatments (Agnihotra and Om Tryambakam homa) and non-homa treatments; and liquid organic manures viz, Panchagavya, Jeevamruta and Gloria Biosol for soil and foliar application. Among the control treatments, organic control recorded highest growth, yield and quality parameters than other controls. Soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol was significantly superior over all the treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes and recorded 20.28% more plant height and 21.41% more yield than organic control treatments. Ascorbic acid and free total phenol content of okra fruits in homa treatments were also significantly superior over all the treat-ments and recorded 15.45% and 5.33% more over organic control, respectively. Thus, it may be recommended that soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol, among all the Homa organic treatments, will give the better crop produc-tivity and its produce quality.
