“…Such a general positive response of dry mass accumulation of sweet pepper plants due to pruning system might be attributed to dry matter distribution is primarily regulated by the sinkstrength of the various organs. Thakur et al, (2018) stated that when the available assimilates equal or exceed the total sink strength of the plant, the growth rates of the vegetative parts and the individual fruit occur at the potential rates. However, when the amount of available assimilates is less than the total sink strength, the assimilates are distributed between roots, leaves, stem, and fruit according to their individual sink strengths relative to the total sink strength.…”

BSTRACTTwo greenhouse experiments were carried out at Army Farm, at El-Amria region, Alexandria, Egypt, during the two seasons of 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, as an attempt to rationalize of irrigation water through studying the effect of three water regimes, three pruning systems and four potassium silicate rates on the dry mass accumulation in the various plant organs of sweet pepper. Results showed that application of the lower amount of irrigation water (30% depletion ratio) with repeat its addition achieved the highest significant mean values of roots, stems, leaves and whole plant dry mass at one, three and nine months after transplanting (MAT), as well as fruits dry mass after three and nine MFT, in the two seasons. Furthermore, the results indicated that un-pruned sweet pepper plants achieved significant higher mean values of roots, stems and whole plant dry mass, at three and nine MAT, in both seasons, as well as fruits dry mass at nine MAT only , in both seasons. The addition of, foliar application of potassium silicate up to 500 or 1000 mg l -1 , significantly, accumulated higher dry weight in roots, branches, leaves, fruits and whole plant of sweet pepper plants after one, three and nine MAT, compared with that unsprayed, in the two seasons. Likewise, sweet pepper plants that un-pruned or pruned up to 3 branches plant -1 and irrigated with the lower amount of irrigation water (30% depletion ratio) achieved the highest values of the dry mass of branches, leaves, fruits and whole plant at one, three and nine MAT compared with that pruned on two branches plant-1. However, the highest dry mass value of roots, branches, leaves, fruits and whole plant of pepper were obtained from the treatment combination included the lower amount of water (30 % water depletion ratio) and spray 1000 mg l -1 of potassium silicate, in both seasons, after one, three and nine MAT. Interactions between pruning systems and potassium silicate concentrations indicated that the highest values of the dry mass of roots, branches and whole plant of sweet pepper plants were achieved from treatment combinations containing un-pruned plants and sprayed the plants with 1000 mg l -1 of potassium silicate, in both seasons.

“…There are several well-established low-cost strategies reported throughout the world to enhance the productivity of different agri-horticultural crops. Among them, the application of micronutrients, intercropping, adaptation of a high-density planting (HDP) system, drip irrigation, scientific training and pruning technique, and use of different plant growth regulators play a major role to enhance the productivity of different crops, particularly perennial crops (Thakur et al 2018;Lipton 2012). But the major concern is the sustainability of all these techniques in the long term.…”

Perennial trees especially fruit trees are considered to be the most competent biological system where atmospheric carbon dioxide is transformed into long-lived soil carbon despite their nutritional and export value. Higher carbon stock helps to sustain production and soil ecosystem services. Better crop nutrition promotes carbon stock. Feasibility of integrated nutrient management in carbon sequestration needs to be evaluated under a subtropical humid condition. An experiment was carried out in randomized block design to study the feasibility of integrated nutrient management for improving soil properties, nutrient availability, fruit yield, and carbon stock in a mango (Mangifera indica L.) (cv. Langra) orchard under a subtropical condition. Various combinations of integrated (farmyard manure, vermicompost, straw mulch, biofertilizers) nutrient management practices were evaluated in two consecutive years in a 30year-old mango orchard. The results revealed that the organic mulching with straw and conjoint application of farmyard manure and vermicompost improve nutrient availability, microbial activeness (29-44%), and carbon stock (~40%) in soil at 0-60 cm soil depth which ultimately improves fruit yield (26-34%). Hence, adoption of integrated nutrient management practices through the application of farmyard manure, vermicompost, and organic mulching with straw would uphold the fruit yield and carbon stock in soil and also promote CO 2 sequestration in soil and less greenhouse gas emission, which paved viable economic options to mitigate climate change.

“…In this practice, pruning parts of the plants like non–productive shoots, diseased leaves, and fruits are removed to regulate canopy and minimize photosynthates wastage. Tomato plants can be pruned severely without affecting the tomato yield 7 , 8 . Besides, the application of farmyard manure (FYM) also adds organic matter to the soil, which improves microbial population and enzymatic activities.…”

India produces around 19.0 million tonnes of tomatoes annually, which is insufficient to meet the ever-increasing demand. A big gap of tomato productivity (72.14 t ha–1) between India (24.66 t ha–1) and the USA (96.8 t ha–1) exist, which can be bridged by integrating trellis system of shoot training, shoot pruning, liquid fertilizers, farmyard manure, and mulching technologies. Therefore, the present experiment was conducted on tomato (cv. Himsona) during 2019–2020 at farmers' fields to improve tomato productivity and quality. There were five treatments laid in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications; T1 [Farmer practice on the flatbed with RDF @ N120:P60:K60 + FYM @6.0 t ha−1 without mulch], T2 [T1 + Polythene mulch (50 microns)], T3 [Tomato plants grown on the raised bed with polythene mulch + FYM @ 8.0 t ha−1 + Single shoot trellis system + Side shoot pruning + Liquid Fertilizer (LF1—N19:P19:K19) @ 2.0 g l–1 for vegetative growth + Liquid Fertilizer (LF2—N0: P52: K34) @ 1.5 g l–1 for improving fruit quality], T4 [Tomato plants grown on the raised bed with polythene mulch + FYM @ 8.0 t ha−1 + Single shoot trellis system + Side shoot pruning + LF1 @ 4.0 g l–1 + LF2 @ 3.0 g l–1], and T5 [Tomato plants grown on the raised bed with polythene mulch + FYM @ 10.0 t ha−1 + Single shoot trellis system + Side shoot pruning + LF1 @ 6.0 g l–1 + LF2 @ 4.5 g l–1]. The results revealed that tomato plant grown on the raised beds with polythene mulch, shoot pruning, trellising, liquid fertilizers, and farmyard manure (i.e., T5) recorded higher shoot length, dry matter content, and tomato productivity by 20.75–141.21, 18.79–169.4, and 18.89–160.87% as compared to T4–T1 treatments, respectively. The T5 treatment also recorded the highest water productivity (28.39 kg m–3), improved fruit qualities, net return (10,751 USD ha–1), benefit–cost ratio (3.08), microbial population, and enzymatic activities as compared to other treatments. The ranking and hierarchical clustering of treatments confirmed the superiority of the T5 treatment over all other treatments.
