The field experiments were conducted in farmer's field at five locations each of kole lands to study the effect of Magnesium (Mg) on yield and soil and plant nutrient status of rice during 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments comprised of different levels of Mg viz; 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 kg Magnesium sulphate(MgSO4)/ha along with control. Observations on growth characters yield attributes, yield and soil and plant nutrient status were recorded. The results revealed that application of 100 kg MgSO4 / ha recorded the maximum number of panicles/m2 (419.13), number of grains/panicle (109.36), thousand grain weight (28.78 g), grain (9.27 t/ha) and straw yield (9.04 t/ha) of rice. The results of pooled data on plant and soil nutrient status revealed that application of magnesium had a positive effect on nutrient content and availability of nutrients in soil. A significant positive correlation was also noticed between Mg application, yield attributes, yield and nutrient contents. The study concluded that application of 100 kg MgSO4 / ha was found to be optimum for correcting the deficiency in Mg deficient areas of kole lands under below sea level farming.

Silicon (Si) and biostimulant management have been proposed techniques to reduce the impacts of abiotic stresses and to increase the productivity of several crops, however, there are still few concise results of the management of this crop. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of biostimulant and silicon treatments on isolated or mixed applications on mineral nutrition, yield and fiber quality of two cotton varieties. For this, an experiment was carried out in a randomized block design in the municipality of Luís Eduardo Magalhães-BA, in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement, with four replications, in which four biostimulant treatments (control, without application; Si; biostimulant; and Si + biostimulant) were evaluated in two cotton varieties (FM 954GLT and FM 983GLT). The nutrient content of leaves, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, fiber yield, and quality were evaluated, the data collected were submitted to the F test and means were compared by Tukey at 5% probability. At the end of the experiment, it was verified that the management of Si and biostimulants increase the integrity of the cell wall, the association of Si + biostimulant increases the levels of N, Fe and Si foliar and reduces the levels of B and Mn, and do not influence on yield and fiber quality.

The Minang Bangkit Merbabu Farmer Group use organic materials and produce their own liquid organic fertilizer. This liquid organic fertilizer is made of varied ingredients: rabbit urine, cow's milk, free-range chicken eggs, palm sugar, coconut water, pineapple, shrimp paste, bamboo roots, ginger, and turmeric. Composting is strongly affected by pH and aeration method. Liquid organic fertilizer made by farmers usually have an initial pH of around 3.7. This mixture was usually composted using semi-anaerobic method. Through this study, we wanted to find out whether different methods of aeration and addition of rabbit urine would result in different liquid organic fertilizer quality. The quality of liquid organic fertilizer includes C-organic, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium. The experiment was designed as a factorial randomized block design. There were 2 factors tested: rabbit urine volume and aeration method. There were two levels of rabbit urine volume : original and modified ones. There were three levels of aeration method: aerobic, semi-anaerobic, and anaerobic. In total, there were six treatments and four replication for each treatment. The results of the analysis showed that composting with the aerobic method at the original rabbit urine volume could increase the concentration of nutrient content so that it gave the highest yield. It is different from composting at a modified rabbit urine volume, because the highest yield is in the anaerobic method. Keywords: aerated, organic, rabbit urine volume
