The present study entitled “Bioefficacy study of Bacillus subtilis based biofungicide on leaf spot disease, growth and yield attributes of tomato [Solanum lycopersicum L.] cv. ArkaVikas” was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during rainy season of 2016-17 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The treatments included foliar spray of chemical fungicide (Copper oxychlooride) and biofungicide (Taegro® and Trichoderma) either alone or in combination. Taegro® is a bacterial biofungicide containing 1×1010 CFU/g (13%w/w) of Bacillus amyloliuefaciens strain FZB24 formulated as WP. A total of 12 characters including disease, growth and yield parameters were studied. Disease parameter included leaf spot disease incidence (%) and disease severity (%) whereas growth and yield parameters included days to 50% flowering, height, number of branches per plant, fruit length (cm), fruit width (cm), number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight (g), number of seed per fruit, fruit yield per plot (kg), fruit yield per hectare (kg) were studied. The biofungicide Taegro exhibited significant potential in reducing the leaf spot in tomato and improving the growth and yield attributes of tomato as compared to control. But combined used of Taegro with standard chemical copper oxychloride gave better result than Taegro alone. As a consequence, this may be used as part of an integrated disease management approach so as to minimizes the use of standard fungicides and also protect the environment from pollution and maintenance of the human health.

Objective: The inoculants, mainly nitrogen fixers and phosphate solubilizing microbes, have an influence on plant growth attributes. The current study was conducted to assess the fertilizing activity of A. chroocaccum and B. megaterium strains on growth, yield parameters and nutrient uptake of Sorghum bicolor. Methods: The isolation and identification of the nitrogen-fixing bacterium- A. chroocaccum and phosphate solubilizing microbe- B. megaterium and the growth and yield parameters of Sorghum bicolor as well as NPK uptake levels were studied. Results: A. chroocaccum and B. megaterium exhibited the proliferation of microbial population in soil by synergistic interaction with plants, and the application increased the availability of NPK in the soil after harvest of the crop. These beneficial inoculants are also known to help in the uptake of some other nutrients. The maximum beneficial aspects of the plant were noticed in the plants inoculated with 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF)+ A. chroocaccum+ B. megaterium, and the least was noticed in the control plants at all growth stages and at the time of harvest. Conclusion: From this study, it can be concluded that the beneficial effect of A. chroocaccum and B. megaterium is observed in sorghum crop with improved yield and nutrient uptake. Therefore, this species can be used extensively for future inoculation of the sorghum crop for better growth and development and for good returns in an ecological way.

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the applied fertilization on the vegetative growth and yield parameters of garlic (Allium sativum L.) during cultivation at the locations in Split and Ljubitovica. The experiment with the local Ljubitovački Šarac garlic genotype was set up from the fall to the summer of the 2012/2013 growing season. Three types of fertilization were applied: a mineral, organic, and an organomineral one. Climatic conditions, vegetative growth, and the garlic yield parameters were monitored during vegetation. A location impact was statistically significant. In Split, better results were recorded concerning the plant height (35.8 cm) and the number of leaves (7.4), while better results were obtained concerning a percentage of the extracted heads (68.3%), total yield (427.5 g), and a percentage of the marketable plants (98.5%) at the Ljubitovica locality The effect of fertilization had no statistically significant differences. The area of Ljubitovica turned out to be more suitable for growing the Ljubitovački Šarac genotype, whereas the organic fertilization has not produced a negative effect on the investigated parameters of the garlic yield, which is contributing toward a possibility of growing this genotype pursuant to the organic agriculture legislation.

Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) leaf extract is a natural plant growth stimulant that is well-known for its ability to improve plant growth and development. A field study was conducted to evaluate the influence of MLE (Moringa Leaf Extract) on the growth, yield and nutritional improvement in two vegetable crops [Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Indian Spinach (Basella alba)]. The extract was applied at two weeks interval with different frequencies. The crops were fertilized with chemical fertilizers and MLE application was done as per treatment @ 25 ml/plant. For each of the crops, this bio-stimulant had a significant boosting effect on growth, yield and nutrient uptake whereas the maximum frequency in the application i.e. T4 (foliar application of MLE at 2 weeks after transplanting and application at every 2 weeks thereafter) showed the highest influence. Indian Spinach responded proportionally more to foliar-applied MLE in terms of plant growth and nutrient uptake compared to tomato. The effect of MLE on the yield parameters was more pronounced in tomato that showed a 25% (averaged across all the growth parameters) increase over control, but Indian Spinach showed ~20% increase in yield parameters compared to control. Therefore, applying MLE to the foliage may assist in increasing the yield by improving plant growth across the different vegetable species (e.g., Tomato and Indian Spinach).

The experiment was conducted to find out the impact of levels of drip irrigation and mulching on growth, yield and quality parameters of mulberry. Among different levels of irrigation 0.8 CPE recorded higher values for growth and leaf yield (47613 kg ha-1 year-1) parameters. Compared to lower levels of irrigation 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 CPE. Also, mulberry plants mulched with black plastic polythene cover recorded higher values for growth and leaf yield (45143 kg ha-1 year-1) compared to plants without mulching. The interaction effect 0.8 CPE along with mulching (T8) recorded higher values for all the growth and yield parameters compared to other combination of treatments and lower values for the same were recorded in 0.5 CPE along in without mulching plot. The study revealed that adoption of drip irrigation in mulberry at 0.8 CPE along with mulching is appropriate to enhance the growth parameters (plant height, number of shoots, number of leaves, leaf area and total dry matter content) and leaf yield.

The present investigation has been designed to prepare the organic fertilizer from fish waste and to study the efficacy of fish waste fertilizer on the growth and yield of the plants Amaranthus dubius (amaranthus) and Trigonella foenum- graecum (coriander). Fish wastes collected from the slaughter house has been converted into fertilizer and the nutrient quality in terms of protein, carbohydrate, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium contents in the fish waste fertilizer were tested using standard procedures. For assessing the potential effect of prepared fertilizer on growth and yield, fish waste fertilizer sprayed (foliar spray) on the experimental plants in the interval of seven days and up to 35 days of experimental period. Triplicates experimental setup were maintained for both the experimental plants and Control (water). During the experimental period, plants in both control and experimental pots were randomly selected which had nearly same height in order to record various growths and yield parameters. The impact of treatment has been studied in terms of growth and yield parameters such as plant height (cm), shoot length (cm), number of leaves (cm), number of branches (cm), leaf length (cm), length of internodes (cm), root length (cm) and stem diameter (cm).

L'objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer les effets de l'application de différents fertilisants organiques (fumier de vache, litières de Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del., Boscia senegalensis (Pers.) Lam. ex Poir. et Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst) sur les paramètres de croissance et de rendement de la variété F1 Mongal de la tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) en conditions semi-contrôlées. L’étude a été effectuée à la ferme agricole de l’Université Gaston Berger de Saint Louis au Nord du Sénégal entre avril et juin 2018. Le dispositif expérimental utilisé est en blocs aléatoires randomisés avec quatre (04) répétitions, huit (08) traitements et trois (03) doses (0,2%, 0,5% et 0,8%). Les traitements appliqués sont : T0 (témoin sans apport de fertilisant), T1 (litière de Balanites aegyptiaca), T2 (litière de Boscia senegalensis), T3 (litière de Sclerocarya birrea), T4 (fumier), T5, T6 et T7 (mélange à proportion égale (½+ ½) de fumier et chacune des trois (03) litières). Après application des différents fertilisants organiques, une durée de décomposition de 15 jours a été observée avant semis dans des pots de 1,5 kg. Après 60 jours de croissance, les résultats obtenus ont montré que les effets sur la croissance de la tomate varient en fonction de la dose et de la qualité de la matière organique apportée. Les litières de B. senegalensis appliquées seules ou en combinaison avec le fumier et la litière B. aegyptiaca utilisée seule ont amélioré significativement certains des paramètres étudiés (hauteur, surface foliaire, biomasse sèche aérienne et couleur du feuillage) aux doses de 0,5% et 0,8%. Les meilleurs effets ont été induits par la plus forte dose (0,8%) de B. senegalensis. La litière de S. birrea n’a pas eu d’effets significatifs sur les paramètres de croissance et de rendements de la tomate. Le fumier n’a montré aucun effet sur les paramètres de croissance de la tomate par rapport au témoin sans fertilisant. Ainsi, la litière de B. senegalensis dans les conditions de cet essai, a montré un grand potentiel pour l’amélioration des paramètres de croissance et de rendement de la tomate. ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the application of different organic fertilizers (manure, Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del., Boscia senegalensis (Pers.) Lam. ex Poir. and Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst) on the growth and yield parameters of the F1 Mongal variety of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under semi-con controlled conditions. The study was conducted at the Gaston Berger University of Saint Louis farm in northern Senegal between April and june 2018. The experimental design used is randomized blocks with four (04) replicates, eight (08) treatments and three (03) doses (0.2%, 0.5% and 0.8%). The treatments applied are: T0 (control without fertilizer), T1 (Balanites aegyptiaca litter), T2 (Boscia senegalensis litter), T3 (Sclerocarya birrea litter), T4 (manure), T5, T6 and T7 (equal proportion of manure and each of the three (03) litters). After application of the various organic fertilizers, a decomposition time of 15 days was observed before sowing in 1.5 kg pots. After 60 days of growth, the results obtained showed that the effects on tomato growth vary according to the dose and quality of the organic matter supplied. B. senegalensis litter applied alone or in combination with manure and B. aegyptiaca litter used alone significantly improved some of the parameters studied (height, leaf area, aerial dry biomass and foliage color) at doses of 0.5% and 0.8%. The best effects were induced by the highest dose (0.8%) of B. senegalensis. S. birrea litter did not have significant effects on tomato growth and yield parameters. Manure showed no effect on tomato growth parameters compared to the control without fertilizer. Thus, the litter of B. senegalensis under the conditions of this trial showed great potential for improving tomato growth and yield parameters.
