during rabi season of 2014-15 to evaluate soil application of potassium and sulphur on nutrient content, uptake, quality and yield parameter of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under south Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The experiment comprising of four levels of potassium viz., 0, 40, 60 and 80 kg K 2 O ha -1 and sulphur viz., 0, 20, 40, 60 kg S ha -1 and experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The results revealed that the content and uptake nutrient, yield of chickpea were significantly influenced by the various levels of potassium and sulphur. The application of potassium 60 and 80 kg K 2 O ha -1 and sulphur 40 and 60 kg S ha -1 significantly increased the content, uptake, quality and yield of chickpea.
An experiment was under taken on “Effect of recycling of cotton stalks on yield and yield attributes of cotton under dry farming condition”on medium black clayey soil at Dry Farming Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Targhadia (Rajkot) during Kharif 2017-19. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with three replications. The experiment consist of five main plot treatments viz.; S1- Removal of cotton stalks from plot, S2- Surface burning of cotton stalks, S3- Incorporation of cotton stalks using rotavator, S4- Incorporation cotton stalks using mobile chopper and S5- Ex-situ composting of cotton stalks using shredderand three sub plot treatments viz.; D1- One irrigation for decomposting, D2- One irrigation + addition of N @10 kg/ha through urea + compost culture @ 5 kg/ha, D3 - Addition of N@ 10 kg/ha through urea + compost culture @ 5 kg/ha at sowing,thus, fifteen treatment combinations. The stalks management practice S5 (Ex-situ composting of cotton stalks using shredder) recorded maximum seed cotton yield (1875 kg/ha). Whereas, effect of de-composting practices on yield attributes and seed cotton yield was found non-significant. However, the maximum seed cotton yield (1823 kg/ha) was recorded under de-composting practice D1 (one irrigation for decomposting).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
