“…Furthermore, consumers often look upon the taste of organic products and it should be healthier one than the conventional one [4]. Apart from the release of nutrient is slow manner, the application of organic fertilizers, which are made from animal excreta or other agricultural wastes is usually used to improve the structure and stability of the soil and in addition to enhancing the yield and quality of the crop plants [2,5,6] Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most important vegetables worldwide.…”

Abstract. In the present study, a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of some organic fertilizers on four varieties of tomato viz., Sadia F1, Isabella F1, Lelord and Sun cherry for its growth, yield and fruits sensory. A total of 64 plots were prepared with the dimension of 3 m 2 x 4 m 2 and each plot was applied with recommended doses of organic fertilizers. The results on the growth parameters of the studied tomato varieties showed that the chicken manure had the significant effect on plant height and root length of Isabella F1, leaf area of sun cherry, root fresh and dry weight and of Lelord, leaves fresh and dry weight of Sadia F1. Whereas, shoot fresh and dry weight of Isabella tomato variety was increased when treated with mixed manure. Agro fish pellet treatment had increased the stem diameter of Isabella F1 significantly. The number of flowers and fruits of sun cherry tomato variety were increased when treated with agro fish pellet. Agro fish also influenced the fruits number in Sadia F1 and fruit yield of lelord followed by Isabella F1 respectively. The sensory evaluation of the fruits of studied tomato varieties revealed that chicken manure had good result on the overall quality of the fruits of Sadia F1 and Sun cherry. Agro fish pellet and mixed manure has influenced the overall quality of Isabella F1 and Lelord variety tomato fruits.

“…Overall, these results propose a hypothesis that higher synthetic fertilizer inputs may lead to higher levels of herbivore damage to crops (Letourneau, 1996). Utilization of organic matter has been well documented to improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil (Whalen et al, 2000;Tejada and Gonzalez, 2003), Cook et al (1994) and the addition of compost to soil generally improves tilth, soil structure, infiltration, drainage and water holding capacity. In Bangladesh, cauliflower is mainly cultivated in winter season.…”

Abstract:The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of organic manures and spacing on the growth and yield of cauliflower in summer season. In this study, the treatment consisted of three organic manures viz. F 0 : no organic manure, F 1 : cowdung, F 2 : vermicompost and three spacing viz. S 1 (60 × 30) cm, S 2 (60 × 40) cm, S 3 (60 × 50) cm. Two factorial experiments were laid out in the RCBD with three replications. Significant variations in all parameter were observed due to organic manure and spacing at different days after transplanting. For organic manure, highest yield of cauliflower (12.98 t ha -1 ) was obtained from F 2 and lowest (8.24 t ha -1 ) from F 0 . For spacing, highest yield of cauliflower (11.25 t ha -1 ) was obtained from S1 and lowest (10.57 t ha -1 ) from S 3 . For combined effect, highest yield of cauliflower (13.33 t ha -1 ) was obtained from F 2 S 1 and the lowest (7.91 t ha -1 ) from F 0 S 3 . The highest BCR (3.79) was found from F 2 S 1 and lowest (2.7) from F 0 S 3 . It is found from the experiment that growth and yield of summer cauliflower were positively correlated with organic manure and spacing. However, white beauty cultivars can be cultivated in summer season and use of vermicompost with 60×50 cm spacing would be beneficial for the farmers.

“…However, the continuous use of chemical fertilization leads to the deterioration of soil characteristics and fertility and might lead to the accumulation of heavy metals in plant tissues, affecting the fruit nutritional value and edibility (Shimbo et al, 2001). The application of organic fertilizers, which are made from animal excreta or other agricultural wastes, contributes to the sustainability of agriculture systems and is usually used to improve the soil structure and stability in addition to enhancing the yield and, in particular, the quality of plants (Tejada and Gonzalez, 2003;Abou El-Magd et al, 2006;Chang et al, 2010;Marzouk and Kassem, 2011).…”

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of the addition of organic manure on the maturity stage and quality of pineapple fruits ripened in winter. Fertilization was performed with 200 mL peanut-press pulp liquid fertilizer + 20 g compound fertilizer per plant (T1) or 100 mL peanut press pulp liquid fertilizer + 20 g compound fertilizer per plant (T2). Fertilization with 20 g compound fertilizer per plant (T0) was used as the control. The results indicated that organic fertilizer addition promoted maturity. The weight per fruit was increased, and the contents of TSS and total sugars were enhanced, whereas the titratable acid contents were decreased. A sensory evaluation indicated that, after the addition of organic manure, the pineapple fruits were sweeter and more fragrant. More types of ester aroma components having a higher total relative content were identified in T1, and more types of alkenes having a higher total relative content were identified in T2. The relative contents of propanoic acid, 3-(methylthio)-, and methyl ester were increased by organic manure treatments, with the highest being noted in T1 (5.79%), followed by T2 (5.59%), and the lowest was documented in T0 (4.36%).
