Impact of Organic Manures and Liquid Formulations on Garlic Growth, Yield and Quality in Uttarakhand, India

The field study was carried out to VCSG, UUHF, Pauri Garhwal in 2022-2023 to investigate the integrated effect of organic manures and organic liquid formulations on the growth and yield of garlic. The main objective of this study was to determine the benefits of using organic manures and liquid formulations over conventional farming because the abundant use of nitrogenous fertilizers causes excessive vegetative growth at the expense of bulb formation. Among fourteen different treatment combinations that consist of various combinations of organic manures (FYM and Vermicompost) and organic liquid formulations (Panchgavya and Jeevamrit) treatment T3 i.e., FYM (10t/ha) + Panchgavya (2%) emerged as the best treatment concerning growth and yield of garlic. The findings showed that the maximum plant height (69.080 cm), number of leaves (8.400), leaf length (47.880 cm) and breadth (3.207 cm), and leaf area index (1.023) at all the 30 days intervals after sowing of garlic has been observed with the application of Treatment T3. The fundamental reason for the increased growth might be due to growth-promoting substances like auxins and gibberellins in panchgavya and high nitrogen and phosphorus in FYM. Concerning yield and quality attributes, the bulb diameter (5.657 cm), fresh weight of bulb (64.643 cm), length of the bulb (5.853 cm), number of cloves per bulb (12.200), bulb yield (120.833 q), total chlorophyll content (2.127 mg/g) and ascorbic acid content (15.333 mg/100g) was obtained maximum with the application of same treatment T3 i.e., FYM (10t/ha) + Panchgavya (2%) with yield increases up to 30% compared to control. However, the harvest index percent was found to be maximum (89.243 %) in treatment T13 i.e., Vermicompost (5t/ha) + Jeevamrit (6%). These findings suggest that organic farming practices can effectively enhance garlic production, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. Moreover, this study provides practical insights for farmers and contributes to the growing body of research on sustainable agriculture.

Impact of organic manures on the growth and yield of cauliflower

Organic manures are made from natural materials such as plant leftovers, manure, and compost. They provide a comprehensive method of enhancing soil. Adding organic matter improves the structure of the soil, encourages microbial activity and releases nutrients gradually. Organic farming produces legumebased cropping systems with decreased carbon and nitrogen losses. This indicates improved soil health, which is essential for healthy cauliflower development. In the Rabi season of 2023–2024, the current experiment, “Impact of organic manures on the growth and yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis),” was carried out at the Amity Institute of Organic Agriculture (AIOA), Amity University, Sec.126, Noida (U.P.), India. The sandy loam soil in the experimental field has a pH of 8.2, making it rather alkaline in nature. Several nutrients are applied during the trial, including poultry manure, vermicompost, farm yard manure, and azotobacter. The experimental field’s structure was established using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Suggested dosage for vermicompost (T2), poultry manure (T3), farm yard manure (FYM) (T1), poultry manure + azotobacter (T4), vermicompost + azotobacter (T5), and control (T6). Findings showed that, in comparison to all other treatments, the treatment of [vermicompost + azotobacter (T4)] produced the highest plant height (36.37 cm), number of leaves (21.00), leaf area (529.42 cm2), curd diameter (19.22 cm), curd weight (1.30 kg), yield per plot (11.50 kg/plot), and total yield (16.43 t/ha).

Also treatment T (Vermicompost 25% + NPK 75%) was found to be best and suitable in term of benefit cost ratio.

Impact of organic manure on fruit set, fruit retention, yield, and nutritional status in pomegranate (Punica granatum L. "Wonderful") under water and mineral fertilization deficits.

This research was conducted on mature pomegranate (Punica granatum L. “Wonderful”) trees growing at a site located in North Coast, Matrouh Governorate, Egypt. The aim was to investigate the impacts of different irrigation regimes in combination with different fertilizer regimes on the fruit set, fruit retention, yield, and nutritional status of the trees. The experimental factors were arranged in a split-plot design, with four replicates per treatment combination. The results indicated that all of the characteristics measured, including leaves nutritional status, percentages of fruit set, fruit drop, fruit retention, fruit cracking, fruit sunburn, and marketable fruit, and yield were significantly affected by the interaction between the irrigation treatment which denoted by percentages of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and fertilizer regime. The application of 75% mineral fertilizer + 25% organic manure under deficit irrigation of 80% ETo increased the yield by an average of 18.23% over the 2 years compared with 100% mineral fertilization under full irrigation, while 50% mineral fertilizer + 50% organic matter under 80% ETo gave the maximum percentage of marketable fruit (86.23% and 86.84% in 2018 and 2019, respectively). The maximum water use efficiency was obtained with the 80% ETo treatment combined with 75% mineral fertilizer + 25% organic manure in both seasons with values of 9.69 and 10.06 kg/m3 applied water, respectively. These results demonstrate that under the field conditions at the experimental site, the fruit set and retention could be improved by applying a reduced amount of mineral fertilizer in combination with organic manure and less irrigation water.

Study of the Impact of Organic Manures and Biofertilizers on growth of Phaseolus aureus Roxb.

Weed sare wild plants growing where they are not wanted, and they compete with the cultivated crop for nutrition. Though they are seen as agricultural waste throughout the year, they are rich sources of nutrients. They grow in abundance during the rainy season, but as the season ends these biomasses get wasted. In the present investigation, Tephrosia hamiltonii Drumm belonging to family Fabaceae, and Achyranthes aspera L. belonging to the family Amaranthaceae were used as a nutrient source to develop crop Phaseolus aureus Roxb. Weed manures, Vermicompost and Compost, were prepared by using weeds T.hamiltonii Drumm and A.aspera L. in 1:1 proportion. Chemical analysis of weed and weed manures were done before administering it into the soil. Neem cake was also used as one of the organic manures. In the experiment, a single dose of biofertilizers Azotobacter and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria were mixed with Weed Vermicompost, Weed Compost and Neem cake; and in one of the treatments, only biofertilizers were used indouble dose. Treatments were given to the crop as ATVB, ATCB, NCB, BioD, NPK, and Control in a randomized block design of experimental plot size 1.5X 1.5 m. The use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers was completely avoided except for NPK treatment plots. Single plant analysis of pulse crop P. aureus Roxb. was done. Observations were recorded in the forms of fresh weight and dry weight of root, stem, leaves, leaf (4th number), and legumes. Total fresh yield (kg ha-1), DM (kg ha-1) increase over control, and Nitrogen efficiency ratio were recorded. Results showed that %DM (an increase over control) and DM kg ha-1 recorded highest in ATVB treatment and the highest N efficiency ratio was in BioD. The present investigation emphasized reducing the input cost of the farm products along with protection of the environment and natural resources.

Stress physiology and metabolism in hybrid rice. II. Impact of organic manures on anthesis and grain growth under drought conditions

ABSTRACT Soil-water availability is the major yield determinant of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The objective of this investigation was to study the effects of organic manures vs. inorganic fertilizers on phenological, physiological and yield parameters under drought imposed at various reproductive stages of hybrid rice cv. NDRH-2. The vulnerability of various reproductive stages to drought was ranked as: gametogenesis>anthesis>grain-filling>dough formation>post-dough formation>whole grain. Drought-caused spikelet sterility was related more to injury to palea than to lemma, though the grain growth continued even after the death of palea and/or lemma. Organic manures enhanced the survival of flag leaf (55%) and second leaf (40%) against 31% in plants inorganically fertilized; and increased the number of filled grains by reducing spikelet sterility. Drought at 10 days before anthesis up to 5 days after it proved most harmful in the inorganically fertilized soil (IFS, i.e., control) than in the organically fertilized soil (OFS, i.e., green manure, compost). The net assimilation rate (NAR) varied from 925 (green manure) to 900 mg m−2 day−1(compost) against 888 mg m−2 day−1 in the control. The relative growth rate (RGR) was 4.6 for green manure and 4.4 mg g−1 day−1 for compost, which were higher than the RGR for the control (4.1 mg g−1 day−1). Grain yields [15.9 g (green manure) to 15.4 g (compost) hill−1 in OFS] were higher than the IFS grain yield (13.5 g hill−1), with the harvest indices in OFS [34.4% (green manure) to 34% (compost)] being higher than that in IFS (32.2%) at 10 days before heading. Thus, the use of organic manures enhanced drought tolerance, which minimized the reduction in NAR, RGR, and spikelet sterility, thereby stabilized grain yield under drought.

Physico-Chemical Properties of Soil as Influenced by Integrated Nutrient Management in Onion (Allium cepa L.) Crop

The present investigation was conducted at the Research Farm, Khalsa College, Amritsar during rabi season of 2017-18 in order to evaluate the impact of organic manures (FYM, Vermicompost, Poultry manure) and inorganic fertilizers on soil physico-chemical properties and available nutrient status in soil after onion (Allium cepa L.) harvest. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatments and replicated thrice. It was observed that significant variation in organic carbon, bulk density, available macro (N, P, K and S) and micro (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) nutrients status was noticed when organic manures were integrated with inorganic fertilizers as compared to sole use of inorganic fertilizers and initial status of soil. The maximum available nutrient status was recorded with treatment T12 {25% RDNF + 25% N (FYM) + 25% N (VC) + 25% N (PM)} whereas lowest was recorded with treatment T1 (control). The soil properties such as pH, EC, particle density and porosity did not showed any significant difference.

Impact of organic manures on the persistence of imidacloprid in the sandy clay loam soil of tropical sugarcane crop ecosystem.

Impact of organic manures, viz., composted coir pith, press mud, sugarcane trash, and farmyard manure (FYM) on the persistence of imidacloprid in the sandy clay loam soil of tropical sugarcane crop ecosystem, was studied by employing rapid sample preparation method and reversed phase HPLC. The recoveries of the method employed to determine the residues of imidacloprid in the soil were in the range of 94.5 ± 7.02-97.3 ± 2.94% across the five levels of fortification ranged between 0.005 and 0.5 μg/g. Imidacloprid was observed to persist in the soil manured with FYM and composted coir pith for 30 days with the half-life of 7.62 and 7.0 days, respectively as against 21 days with the half-life of 6.66 days in the non-manurial soil. The comparatively longer persistence of imidacloprid in the FYM and composted coir pith-applied soils was attributed to reduced leaching from the plow layer due to the adsorption of insecticide molecules by the added organic manures.

Impact of organic manures on soil health, yield and quality of pit planted sugarcane

An experiment was conducted at Organic Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the effect of different proportion of organics on productivity of pit planted sugarcane during three consecutive years of 2013, 2014 and 2015. The experiment was conducted at fixed plot site with 8 set of organics treatments and 1 inorganic treatment as control (250:125:125 kg NPK/ha) arranged outside the experimental plot, laid down in randomized block design replicated thrice. Significantly higher millable cane height, number of internodes/ millable cane and single millable cane weight were recorded when crop nourished with 50% RDN each of vermi compost and castor cake. Further, application of vermi compost (50% RDN) along with neem cake or castor cake (50% RDN) were found equally effective and recorded significantly higher millable cane and trash yields. In organics vs inorganic analysis, application of 100 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizers recorded significantly higher values of growth and yield parameters and yields of sugarcane crop. For producing higher and profitable cane yield of sugarcane, the crop should be fertilized with 100% RDF (250:125:125 NPK kg/ha) under south Gujarat condition. Further, it is also inferred that for organic production of sugarcane crop, application of 50% RDN through vermi compost and remaining 50% RDN either through castor cake or neem cake was found remunerative.

Impact of Organic Manure on Growth, Nutrient Content and Yield of Chilli Pepper under Various Temperature Environments.

Expected climatic changes likely elicit serious challenges for crop production. Therefore, it is indispensable to investigate the response of crop growth parameters and yield under temperature variability environments. The current experiment on chilli pepper growth was conducted in a field, rain-shelter plastic house, and plastic greenhouse, with accumulated temperatures of 2832 °C, 2967 °C, and 3105 °C in 2017; and 2944 °C, 3091 °C, and 3168 °C in 2018 growing seasons. Based on soil analysis, 132.7 kg ha−1 (1× of livestock manure compost as an optimum and 265.4 kg ha−1 (2×) as a double amount of organic matter were applied to each simulated temperature condition. The results showed that organic manure application favorably affects the growth attributes and nutrient uptake of chilli pepper with the highest values found in the plastic greenhouse, followed by the rain-shelter house, over the open field cultivation condition. The highest growth of chilli pepper was at the 2× rate of organic manure application, whereas the highest yield was found at the 1× rate of organic manure application. The application of organic manure at the 1× rate in the greenhouse increased root, shoot, and fruit dry weights of chilli pepper by 21.4%, 52.4%, and 79.7%, respectively, compared to the control values. These results indicate that the rational use of organic amendments might be the best solution for chilli pepper production under variable climate conditions.

Impact of organic manure and combination of N P K S, on yield, fruit quality and fruit mineral content of Khenazi date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivar

This study was carried out during three successive seasons 2011, 2012 and 2013 at a private orchard located in Al- Hello in Ajman Emirate (UAE). The experiment was designed to study the effect of organic manure and NPKS as soil application on yield, fruit quality, and fruit mineral nutrient content of Khenazi date palm cultivar grown in sandy soil. Fertilization treatments consisted of N1, 600g or N2, 1000g (urea 46%N), P 800g (triple superphosphate, 48% P2O5), K 1200g (potassium sulphate, 50% K2SO4) and S 700g sulphur (90% granular S), in addition to organic manure. Al experimental trees received 100g mixture of micronutrients, with the exception of the control. The results showed that combination treatments and organic manure significantly affected fruit weight, flesh weight, fruit volume, moisture content and fruit TSS. Application of different fertilization treatments significantly affected yield components of fruit, number of fruits/strand, fruit number/bunch, fruit set percent and total fruit yield / palm. The study revealed that combination of fertilizers improved fruit nutrient content of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu. Moisture and TSS% content, number of fruits/strand, number of fruits/bunch, fruit nutrients content of Fe, Mn and Zn were significantly different due to the application of N1+K+S.

Impact of organic manures and hydrophilic polymer hydrogel on conservation of moisture and sunflower production under rainfed condition

The experiment was conducted at Oilseeds Research Unit Dr. P. D. K. V, Akola, during 2015-16 using a Randomized Block Design with three replications along with seven treatments viz. , RDF (80:60:30), RDF + 5t FYM/ha spreading across field, RDF + 2.5t FYM/ha in seed furrows, RDF + hydrogel @ 2.5kg/ha in seed furrows, RDF + humic acid @ 2.5 kg/ha in seed furrows, RDF + vermicompost @ 2.5t/ha in seed furrows and RDF + Fly ash @ 2.5 t/ha in seed furrows. This study was carried out with specific objectives of higher moisture retention and slow release to tide over intermittent drought in Kharif . The result showed that growth parameters viz. , plant height, head diameter and 100 seed weight varied significantly due to use of moisture retentive material on sunflower. Application of 100 per cent RDF with vermicompost @ 2.5t/ha recorded highest seed yield which was at par with the application of 100 per cent RDF with hydrogel. Remaining treatments were at par with each other. Among the treatments, highest moisture was observed with application of 100 per cent RDF with vermicompost @ 2.5t/ha at 30 DAS. After 45 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest application of 100 per cent RDF with hydrogel @2.5 kg/ha in seed furrows recorded highest moisture percentage at different growth stages followed by vermicompost.

The impact of organic manure and nano-inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield and oil content of sunflowers under well-watered conditions

The sunflower is the third most important source of edible oil and accounts for about 14% of world production of seed oils. Although the sunflower is well adapted to semi-arid regions, low soil fertility and nutrients deficiencies are important yield-limiting factors for sunflower production. The current experiment was carried out to study the effects of farmyard manure (zero (M1), 20 (M2) t ha−1) and nanostructured fertilizers (Mn, Fe, Zn ) on the agronomical traits, yield and yield components of the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The experiment was conducted during 2015–2016 growing seasons at a research field in Maragheh in the north-western part of Iran. Application of farmyard manure significantly improved such agronomic traits as plant height, leaf area, the number of leaves, the internode length, the stem diameter, the diameter of the branch head, the number of branches, the length of branches, achene length and achene width, the main capitulum diameter, 100-achene weight, oil content in an achene compared with non-manure condition. Results revealed that plants grown under M2 showed earlier flowering and possessed a higher chlorophyll concentration in leaves. Moreover, application of nano-chelated Zn and Fe considerably decreased the proportion of empty achenes and increased oil concentration, the achene yield and the harvest index. However, the best performance was obtained by combined application of nano-chelated Zn under manure conditions. The findings pointed to the importance of micronutrient deficiencies and balanced nutrition in this area. The overall results show that the integrated application of organic manure and nano-chelated micronutrients are more effective in improving the yield of sunflowers in semiarid production systems.

Impact of Organic Manures and Biofertilizers on Growth and Quality Parameters of Strawberry cv. Chandler

Pot experiment on growth and quality parameters of strawberry was conducted at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, U.P., India to evaluate the effect organic manure (Farm Yard Manure, vermicompost and press mud) and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and Azospirillum). Each treatment combination has shown significant effects on most of the parameters, but the combination of vermicompost and PSB showed highest plant height (23.59 cm), leaves plant-1 (12.67), primary branches plant-1 (10.50), secondary branches plant-1 (27.35), first flowering (61.06 days), flowers plant-1 (15.33), first fruit setting (72.80 days) and fruits plant-1 (8.33). Similarly, the treatments combination of vermicompost and PSB significantly affected the Total Soluble Solids (TSS) (10.75° Brix), titrable acidity (0.82), vitamin C (57.24 mg/100gm fruit), total sugars (5.95 %) and juice content (79.50 %).

Studies on Changes of Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics under Long-Term Fertilizer in the Black Soil Based on DSSAT Model

Long-term experiment of Gongzhuling base for the study through three treatments(1)NPK: NPK fertilizer; (2)N165M: Manure and NPK fertilizer; (3)1.5M+NPK: 1.5Manure and NPK fertilizer, used DSSAT-Century soil model to study the long-term effects of different fertilizer treatments on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen content and the laws of growth and decline. The results show that: long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer can significantly improve crop yields compare with NPK.. Corn production is also affected by climatic conditions, especially in drought years with less precipitation. Larger impact of organic manure on soil organic carbon (SOC)and total nitrogen, SOC content obtained in descending order of 1.5M + N165> N165> N0 by Century model simulation. Soil organic carbon content and nitrogen content has a certain relevance, and the trend is consistent. Organic manure and inorganic fertilizer can significantly reduce soil inorganic nitrogen content and reduce the risk of nitrogen leaching. Through model simulations C / N ratio could be explained: C / N increases indicated an increase of organic carbon faster than organic nitrogen in soil, and changes of soil chronic library SOM2 determined organic carbon content. Therefore we should pay attention to organic manure carbon return level, vigorously promote the use of farmyard manure to improve soil nutrient content.
