Effect of nitrogen, sulphur and farmyard manure on growth dynamics and yield of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under temperate conditions

Enzymatic variation of soils exposed to the impact of the soda plant in terms of biochemical parameters

“…There was found no dependence between pH, saline, and the content of available phosphorus in soil. However, one can find little evidence in the applicable literature (Lakhdar et al 2009; Krzyżaniak and Lemanowicz 2013) that saline, sodicity and pH can affect forms and dynamics of this nutrient in soil, whereas Jaggi et al (2005) and Hussain and Thomas (2010), on the other hand, found a tendency of a growing phosphorus availability in soil when accompanied by an increased sulphur content, which is due to a change in soil pH, competition between sulphate ions, the products of mineralization of organic forms of phosphorus and a release of aluminium and iron ions which react more with sulphates than with phosphate ions. There were identified significant differences in the content of available potassium and magnesium depending on the soil sampling location.…”

Influence of Potassium and Sulphur on Yield, Economics and Quality of Summer Sunflower (Helianthus annuus. L)

“…98050.48/ha) Higher Net returns (Rs. 64665.51/ha) Higher Benefit cost Sulphur (1.94) have been recorded with the treatment T 9 -50Kg/ha Potassium + 30Kg/ha Sulphur over rest of the treatments [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Effect of Sulphur Levels and FYM on Yield, Oil Content and Nutrient Uptake of Safflower under Dry Land Agriculture

“…Synthesis of proteins due to sulphur may have resulted in proper partitioning of photosynthesis from source to sink resulting in improvement in yield contributing attributes like 100 grain weight. Rasool et al, (2013) reported that, synthesis of phytin (Isoinsitolhexa phosphate) which is a salt of Ca, magnesium (Mg) and P (salt of Ca and Mg are present in cow urine) may have increased the seed weight.…”

“…FYM seems to act directly in increasing crop yield either by accelerations of respiratory process by increasing cell permeability by hormone growth action or by combination of all the process viz. release of nutrients, increasing the availability of nutrients and improving soil physical, chemical and biological properties (Rasool et al, 2013). Roy and Ghosh (2020) reported that, sulphur play an important role in the formation of glucosides which on hydrolysis produce higher amount of oil and also responsible for sulpha-hydril linkage and activation of enzymes which help in biochemical reactions within the plant help in increasing the oil content.…”

“…The oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid and is beneficial to the patients having cardiac problems. FYM is a store house of several macro and micronutrients which are released during the process of mineralization and stimulated the activity of microorganism that make the plant nutrients readily available to the crop (Rasool et. al.…”
