“…The maximum Available Potassium in 0-15cm and 15-30cm soil depth i.e., 179.8 kg ha -1 and 175.0 kg ha -1 respectively (which was at par with T 8 and T 7 ) followed by T 6 (which was at par with T 5 and T 4 ) followed by T 3 (which was at par with T 2 and T 1 ) in both soil depth by Neem cake and NPK application availability of potassium (kg ha -1 ) slightly increased. Similar results were also reported by Akhila et al, (2019), Bhambhu et al, (2016), Solangi et al, (2015), and Kumar et al, (2015).…”

The field experiment took place at the Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciencesâ Soil Science Research Farm in Prayagraj during the Kharif season of 2021. Three different pairing were used in the investigation: three levels of NPK at 0%, 50%, and 100% ha-1, and three levels of neem cake at 0%, 50%, and 100% ha-1. The result obtained with treatment T9 [100% NPK +100% neem cake] Maximum Bulk density 1.272 Mg m-3 in 0-15cm and 1.333 Mg m-3 in 15-30cm, Particle density 2.550 Mg m-3 in 0-15cm and 2.580 Mg m-3 in 15-30cm, % Pore space 50.11% in 0-15cm and 48.33% in 15-30cm, Water holding capacity (%) 58.32% in 0-15cm and 58.00% in 15-30cm, pH 7.53 in 0-15cm and 7.54 in 15-30cm, EC (dSm-1) 0.341 in 0-15cm and 0.337 in 15-30cm, % Organic Carbon 0.425% in 0-15cm and 0.412% in 15-30cm, Available Nitrogen 279.38 kg ha-1 in 0-15cm and 273.28 kg ha-1 in 15-30cm, Available Phosphorus 16.86 kg ha-1 in 0-15cm and 16.15 kg ha-1 in 15-30cm and Available Potassium 179.87 kg ha-1 in 0-15cm and 175.0 kg ha-1 in 15-30cm. The use of Neem cake, as well as its blend with complete NPK, significantly improves the growth and overall production of Okra.

“…The treatment T10 had more nutrient content compared to other treatments which might have contributed to the increased nutrient availability at different stages of growth. A combination of organic manures positively influenced the available NPK content of media which might be due to the added supply of nutrients [46]. The availability of nutrients in soil was markedly higher in treatment where blood and rumen contents were added in the ratio 3:1 compared to the treatments where blood and rumen contents are added in 2:1 and 1:1 ratio [16].…”

A study was conducted to develop organic briquettes using biomass originating from slaughterhouse wastes and to investigate its potential as a nutrient source for plant growth.Dried rumen contents were mixed with fresh blood collected after bleeding of animals in different proportions and dried using tray drier. The dried rumen content-blood (RB) mixture was further mixed with commercially available coir pith in 12 different proportions. The rumen content-blood-coir pith (RBC) mixture was formed into briquettes using a hydraulic biomass briquetting machine. Each organic briquette was 5 cm in diameter and had an average weight of 30-40 g. The treatments were analyzed for pH, moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen, carbon: nitrogen ratio, total phosphorus and total potassium. Organic briquette having rumen content with 100 % blood and 80 % coir pith (T10) recorded the highest total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium content. The treatments for plant growth studies were selected based on the criteria that each treatment had highest values for at least two of the three primary nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The treatments T5, T7, T8, T10 and T12 were selected for plant growth studies. Pot experiment using selected briquettes was carried out to determine the effect of selected briquettes on growth parameters and yield attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus).Nutrient release pattern of the selected organic briquettes was also studied. The best desirable growth parameters and yield attributes of okra was observed in T10. Availability of nutrients in the medium were relatively less during first two months of planting (MAP), however, it significantly increased between 3 MAP and 4 MAP, which resulted in better plant growth and fruit yield. The study showed that there is great potential for development of organic briquettes using slaughter house wastes as an eco-friendly process, which are compact, easy to transport and market, and ideal for grow bag cultivation and garden nurseries.
