“…(Table 1). Channabasanagowda et al (2008) and Ghosh et al (2004) also used organic and inorganic source for NPK in wheat crop and their findings also supported the above results. Maximum grain yield (50.5 q/ha) was obtained from T 2 .This may be due to the fact that recommended dose of fertilizer may have supplied nutrients to crop in optimum proportion for their better growth and development (Gupta et al, 2007 andDutta et al, 2005).…”

A field study was conducted at experimental farm of the Regional Research Station, Punjab Agricultural University, Gurdaspur during rabi season of 2014-15 to find out the effect of different sources of organic manures and their combinations on weed growth and wheat grain yield. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments namely, control (T 1 ), recommended dose of NPK+ weedicide (T 2 ), farmyard manure + poultry manure (T 3 ), farmyard manure + bagasse ash (T 4 ), farmyard manure + rice husk ash (T 5 ), poultry manure + bagasse ash (T 6 ), poultry manure + rice husk ash (T 7 ), and bagasse ash + rice husk ash (T 8 ). The results indicated that maximum dry weight of grassy weeds (2.65 g/m 2 ) and broad leaf weeds (2.10 g/m 2 ) was recorded in treatment where poultry manure was used in combination with farmyard manure whereas minimum dry weight of grassy (1.15 g/m 2 ) and broad leaf weeds (1.00 g/m 2 ) was obtained in treatment where these were controlled chemically. The minimum grain yield was obtained in control treatment where neither organic manure was added nor weeds were controlled by using herbicide. Among different combinations of organic manures, it was found that wherever poultry manure was used in combinations, higher yields were obtained due to higher plant height, maximum number of effective tillers/m 2 , maximum spike length in comparison to other manure combinations. Within the treatment combinations, rice husk ash combinations resulted in higher yield and also effectively controlled the weeds as compared to bagasse ash combinations.

Water deficit is one of the most important environmental stresses that adversely affect crop growth and production and mycorrhizal fungi and symbiotic bacteria have important role in resistance to drought stress. The effect of biofertilizers on alfalfa stress tolerance was studied at the greenhouse condition. Treatments comprised three water-deficit stresses (35%, 55% and 75% of field capacity) and four seeds inoculations (Glomus mosseae, Sinorhizobium meliloti, G. mosseae + S. meliloti and non-inoculated). Water-deficit stress decrease cell membrane stability (39%), total Chl (24.05%), carotenoid (35.55%), quantum yield (50.64%) and forage yield (28.20%), while increased the proline and soluble sugars content (68.55 and 46.53% respectively) and osmotic potential (45.84%). The inoculation of seeds increased the capability of the plants in counteracting the stress, so that the production of compatible solutes was increased and the photosynthetic indices, proline, osmotic potential, membrane stability and forage yield were improved by seed inoculation. Mycorrhiza improved photosynthetic indexes and proline, but bacteria had more efficacy on membrane stability and forage yield. However, double inoculation due to the synergistic effect of mycorrhiza and Sinorhizobium, had the greatest effect than Solitary inoculation. Our results suggest that biofertilized alfalfa plants were better adapted than non-biofertilized ones to cope with water deficit.

“…It has been demonstrated that PL contributes to plant growth through its favourable effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties (Ghosh et al, 2004). This MA evaluated the residual soil element concentrations, cation exchange capacity (CEC), electrical conductivity (EC), and pH change when PL was added to soil compared to IF application (Fig.…”

Meta-analysis is a statistical technique used to analyze large datasets containing results from numerous individual studies. It appears to be a promising approach in agricultural sciences. This study aimed to conduct a meta-analytic assessment to elucidate the influence of poultry litter (PL) application on crop yield, plant nutrient uptake, and soil fertility as compared to inorganic fertilizer (IF). A meta-analysis based on 116 studies (111 refereed articles and five unpublished data sets) with 2293 observations compared agronomic responses to PL and IF application. The natural log of the response ratio was used as effect size (ES) to express differences in the effects of PL and IF. The variances of estimated effects were estimated using within-study and betweenstudy variation and were used to calculate a weighting factor. A random-effects model was used to test if the ES was significantly different from zero (α= 0.05). Crop yield was slightly less when evaluating PL additions during the 1 st or 2 nd year of application, while significant increases were observed with long-term PL application. Poultry litter influenced plant nutrient uptake with a slightly negative effect being observed for N uptake, but significant positive effects for P and K uptake. Positive effects on soil fertility were also observed with PL significantly increasing CEC, pH and concentration of soil C, P, K, Ca, and Mg compared to IF. Overall, PL can be used as an alternative nutrient source to enhance crop yield, increase plant nutrient uptake, and improve soil fertility.
