Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield of sapota

Abstract

: Constraints in sapota production and their elucidation at farming communities were studied with the involvement of farmer's. In this regard demonstrations on sapota were conducted in 58 villages of Jallpore, Navsari and Gandevi taluks of Navsari in an area of about 529 ha with involvement of 2645 farmer's. These areas were grouped in to 10 clusters. Demonstrations were focused on the use bio-fertilizer along with organic manures in with recommended dose of fertilizer management practices. From the study found that over the years high yield of fruit was obtained through use of organic manure vermi compost along with bio-fertilizer than traditional method of fertilizer management. Among the ten clusters studied Manekpor cluster recorded with highest B: C ratio (6.18) and Gadat cluster recorded extension gap (2.8) and technology index (18.5) as compared to other clusters.

Influence of Biofertigation and Crude Edible Oils Application on Yield Attributing Characters and Yield of Papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Red Lady

“…The balanced availability of macro and micro nutrients and growth promoting substances produced by biofertilizers might have led to better metabolic activities in the plant which ultimately lead to high protein and carbohydrate synthesis and in turn increased the weight of the fruits .stated that extracted crude oils from plant based were rich in essential macro and micronutrients and thus capable of exerting a significant and positive influence on plant growth and development by promoting photosynthetic carbon assimilation and mineral nutrient absorption. The present observations were in agreement with findings of Nehete and Jadav [17] in mango, Singh and Singh [18] in ber, Barne et al [24], Godage [25], Bharathi et al [22] in guava, and Baviskar et al [26] in sapota, Nayyer et al [27] in banana, Tripathi et al (2014) [28] in strawberry, Kumar et al [29] in guava, Srivastava et al [30], Srinu et al (2017) [31] and Kanwar et al [32] in papaya.…”

“…The positive response of yield as a result of biofertilizers application may also be due to the high ability of these microbes in nitrogen fixation, C2: Castor oil@0.5% C3: Mustard oil@0.5% C4: Ground nut oil + Castor oil + Mustard oil@0.5% C5: No crude oil spray solubilization of P and K and the secretion of several compounds that increase soil fertility, increase nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium availability in soil and enhanced the absorption of elements as observed by Ennab [15] in Eureka lemon tree, that reflected the tree's ability to grow and produce more number of fruits/plant. The above results are in conformity with the findings of Kumar et al [34], Barne et al [24] and Godage [25] in guava, and Dheware et al [35] in sweet orange.…”

“…Chandra [16] reported that biofertilizers application could be a result of the improvement in soil physical, biological and chemical properties which in turn, provided required nutrition for the conversion of flowers to fruits resulting in higher fruit set and ultimately increased the number of fruits per plant. The results were also in accordance with the findings of Nehete and Jadav [17] in mango, Singh and Singh [18] in ber, Barne et al (2013) and Godage (2013) in guava, Baviskar et al (2011) in sapota, Divya and Bindu [12] in papaya.…”

Ameriolations with VAM and PSB Inoculation of Growth and yield attributes in Pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Arkel

“…Both VAM and PSB collectively increased number of branches in comparison to when applied alone. Among them both biofertilizers with inorganic nitrogen sources has shown positive result in enhancing number of branches (Das et al, 2011).…”

Effect of Organic Manure and Biofertilizers on the Growth, Yield and Productivity of Guava under Meadow Orcharding

“…Topping and hedging in guava are helpful in controlling tree size and extending fruit availability. A comparison between meadow orchard system and the traditional system of fruit growing is necessary to evaluate the potentiality of this technique" [9,[10][11][12]. "Meadow orchard system is a new concept of guava planting which has been developed for the first time in India at Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow.…”
