A field experiment was performed in the course of rabi year 2017-18.to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and biofertilizers on the protein content of seeds of garden peas (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Arkel. The experiment was set up in RBD, with 11 treatments in three replications comparing nitrogen and phosphorus levels, as well as bio-fertilizers, to the control.A significant increase in protein content from 15.60% to 22.06% when 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kgper hectare P + Rhizobium + PSB was applied (T5), maximal nitrogen concentration in plants was 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + Rhizobium + PSB (T5) (2.30 per cent). T5 was statistically comparable to 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + Rhizobium (T3) and 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + PSB (T4).
The present investigation entitles “Response of integrated nutrient management on growth of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) cv. Pusa Ruby” was carried out at department of Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), during the year 2020-21. The treatment comprised of twelve treatments i.e., T1 Control (No treatment), T2 RDF (100%), T3 FYM (100%), T4 Azotobacter (100%), T5 Azospirillum (100%), T6 RDF + FYM (50% each), T7 RDF + Azotobacter (50% each), T8 RDF + Azospirillum (50% each), T9 FYM + Azotobacter (50% each), T10 FYM + Azospirillum (50% each), T11 Azotobacter + Azospirillum (50% each) and T12 RDF + FYM + Azotobacter + Azospirillum (25% each). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The results indicated that among maximum plant height ware recorded (16.15, 22.11, 26.59 and 30.53 cm), respectively, in treatment T12 at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT. The maximum number of branches were recorded (4.36 5.79, 6.31 and 7.04) in treatment T12 at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT. Minimum number of days required for flower blooming (32.44) in T12. A maximum number of flowers per plant (39.34) were recorded at T12 and also maximum number of clusters per plant was recorded (9.78) in T12.
An experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Research Farm of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. The experiment was performed to find out the most suitable mulching material and an ideal spacing for straw berry cultivation under Lucknow conditions. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatments comprised of three mulching materials viz. paddy straw, black polyethylene, and transparent polyethylene) with three spacings (30 x 15 cm and 30 x 20 cm and 30 x 30). On the basis of the statistical data, it is concluded that spacing of 30 x 30 cm with black polyethylene mulch was found to be the best in terms of plant growth viz. plant height, spread of plants, Number of flowers per plant, Number of leaves per plant, Fruit weight, Fruit length, Fruit diameter, Specific gravity of Fruit, and Fruit yield per plant, Fruit yield per plot, Fruit yield per plant and leaf area.However, there was slight difference in quality parameters among different treatments.The data recorded was significant difference in number of leaves per plant. Spacing 30x30 cm treatment S3 gave the maximum number of leaves per plant (19.17), which was statistically similar (18.66) to at 30x20 cm spacing, while 30x15 cm spacing gave the minimum number of leaves per plant (17.89).Different mulching showed significant differences on the number of leaves per plant. The maximum number of leaves per plant was recorded in (21.23) from black polythene mulch (M2) which was closely followed treatment (M3) and maximum number of leaves per plant was recorded in (15.79) M1 (Transparent polythene mulch).
The present investigation was conducted at Experimental farm, ICAR-Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Beechwal, Bikaner (Rajasthan), during the year 2016. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) having 15 treatments with three replications each. Foliar application of plant growth regulators and micro nutrients viz. NAA (20 & 40 ppm), 2,4-D (10 & 20 ppm), Zinc sulphate (0.5%), Borax (0.5%) alone and in combinations were applied twice in the month of April and May on 14 years old Kinnow trees. The initial vegetative growth of plant was recorded before imposing treatments in the month of April, 2016 and final at harvest in the month of December, 2016. Statistically, growth parameters increased maximum in terms of height and plant spread with treatment NAA 20 ppm + ZnSO4 0.5% as compared to control. Maximum zinc content (40.09ppm) was recorded in the leaves of Kinnow with foliar spray of NAA 20 ppm + ZnSO4 0.5% while maximum boron content (41.52 ppm) was recorded with foliar spray 2,4-D 10 ppm + Borax 0.5% as compared to control.
