The result regarding plant height was found similar by Soomro (2004), while the results of tillers plant -1 are in agreement with Moosavi et al (2012). Salimath et al (2019) conducted field trial evaluated the yield paramaters in which seeds spike -1 (71.79) were similar to the results as 71.29 at 40 kg ha -1 .…”

The study was conducted on psyllium seed to assess the combine effect of seeding density and potassium rates on growth, productivity and yield. A factorial study was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), during winter season of 2020-21, at Tobacco and Medicinal Crop Research Institute, Tandojam. The seeding densities were maintained at 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 kg ha-1. Whereas potassium was applied @ 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg ha-1. The data were recorded for various quantitative, qualitative and yield parameters. The results shown that all quantitative parameters had non-significant effect of various potassium levels and seeding density except plants m-2. The values of plants m-2 were observed higher at potassium level 100 kg ha-1 and seeding density level of 8.5 kg ha-1. While the qualitative parameters had significant differences due to various potassium levels and seeding density, excludes days to 50% spike emergence, days to 50% maturity and seed index. The seed weight spike-1 (g), seed index (g) and seed yield (kg ha-1) were observed maximum from the plants where potash was applied at 100 kg ha-1. In qualitative parameters, the seeding density at 7.5 kg ha-1observed higher seed yield (1152.33 kg ha-1). While higher seed weight spike-1 (0.14g) observed at seeding density 6.5 kg ha-1. Among growth parameter, leaf area was increased at potash level 60 kg ha-1 and the values of seeding density showed higher leaf area at seeding density level 8.5 kg ha-1. The same pattern showed of leaf area index where seeding density was higher at seeding density 8.5 kg ha-1. Leaf area duration and total dry matter were found significantly higher at potash level 100 kg ha-1 and seeding density 8.5 kg ha-1. While the net assimilation rate was greater at seeding density level 8.5 kg ha-1. It is concluded from the results that and seeding density 7.5 kg ha-1 and increased levels of potassium at 100 kg ha-1 had ensure better results for most quantitative, qualitative and yield attributes.

“…Further, increased number of leaves increased the photosynthetic activities and the resultant growth might be the reason for getting significantly more number of branches per plant -1 with increasing level of fertilizers under study. Similar results were also obtained by Abedi et al (2014) and Patel and Kushwaha (2013) in basil, Moosavi (2012) in chicory and Sotiropoulou and Karamanos (2010) in greek oregano. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of proteins, enzymes and chlorophyll and has been observed to influence the leaf growth and its expansion, resulting in increased leaf area index.…”

Evaluation of phytochemical traits and their correlation studies were conducted with special reference to the quantitative characters of Monarda citriodora Cerv. ex Lag. A field experiment was carried out during two successive cropping seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Field Research Station, Chatha, CSIR -Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu to study the effect of four irrigation frequencies (irrigation at 30 (F 1 ), 20 (F 2 ), 15 (F 3 ) and 12 (F 4 ) days interval with four nitrogen levels, viz., N 0 (0), N 1 (40), N 2 (80) and N 3 (120) kg N ha -1 on quantitative characters and phytochemical traits in M. citriodora. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with 3 replications. Results showed that plant height, number of branches per plant -1 , leaf area index, dry matter partitioning (leaf g/plant) and (stem g/plant) were significantly higher with treatment F 3 over F 2 and F 1 , though remained at par with F 4 (12 days interval) during 2014 as well as 2015. F 1 treatment took significantly least number of days for initiation of primary and secondary branches, however, days taken to flowering at initiation, 50% and 75% was significantly least in F 4 treatment over other treatments. Thymol content was significantly higher with treatment F 2 over other treatments, while significantly highest carvacrol content was recorded with treatment F 3 , though it remained at par with F 2 treatment. Nitrogen level N 2 significantly increased plant height, number of branches per plant -1 and leaf area index, while in case of dry matter partitioning, N 2 and N 1 remaining at par recorded significantly higher dry matter partitioning over N 1 and N 0 . Thymol content was significantly higher with N 1 level, while as carvacrol content was recorded significantly higher with N 2 level when compared to other treatments during the two years of study. In case of irrigation frequencies, it was observed that with increase in the quantitative characteristics of M. citriodora, the phytochemical traits, viz., thymol and carvacrol contents also showed the increased trend and visa-versa, while in case of nitrogen treatments, the increase in the quantitative characteristics showed the decrease in phytochemical traits.

Red chicory (radicchio) plants produce leafy heads that are of great commercial interest and they require a proper irrigation technique to achieve satisfactory productivity. The use of mini-sprinklers with high-frequency irrigation schedules may increase radicchio productivity, provide better growing conditions due to timely intervention, and save water, but so far little research has been carried out on this topic. This experiment aims at evaluating the effect of two mini-sprinkler irrigation schedules (high- and low-frequency) on radicchio yield and growing conditions over a 5-year cultivation period. Marketable radicchio head production was on average 12% greater with the high-frequency schedule (26.5 t ha−1) than with the low-frequency schedule (23.6 t ha−1), mainly due to greater head weight. The number of underweight, pre-flowering, rotten, and missing plants was significantly different between the two schedules when these variables were considered separately, but the overall number of marketable plants was greater in the high-frequency schedule during certain years. In general, the high-frequency schedule permitted to increase both radicchio yield and to reduce irrigation water use on average by 14% (−24 mm in volume), improving the irrigation water productivity by 19% (from 0.18 t mm−1 of the low-frequency schedule to 0.22 t mm−1 of the high-frequency schedule). Reducing the irrigation interval permits a timely adaptation to the weather course and improves radicchio growing conditions, presenting itself as a valid strategy that could be adopted by the farmers, upon appropriate consideration of energy and management costs.
