Influence of Panchgavya and Jeevamrit on Growth, Yield and Quality of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

The experiment was conducted on “Influence Of Panchgavya And Jeevamrit On Growth, Yield And Quality Of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.)” during the period of October 2021 to March 2022 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom, University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh). The experiment was planned in a factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications and nine treatments which comprised of T0-(RDF only), T1-(RDF + 2.5% Spray of Panchgavya), T2-(RDF + 4.5% Spray of Panchgavya), T3-( RDF + 7.5% spray of Jeevamrit), T4-( RDF + 10.5% spray of Jeevamrit), T5-(RDF + 2.5% Spray of Panchgavya+7.5% spray of Jeevamrit), T6-(RDF + 4.5% Spray of Panchgavya+10.5% spray of Jeevamrit), T7-(RDF + 2.5% Spray of Panchgavya+10.5% spray of Jeevamrit), T8-(RDF + 4.5% Spray of Panchgavya+7.5% spray of Jeevamrit), The treatments comprised of two different levels of panchgavya and jeevamrit in which the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF N:P:K::120:100:80) was common and based on the interaction of both the bio-fertilizer various observations were recorded on various growth, quality and yield contributing characters. Based on the results obtained from the present investigation, it is concluded that the interaction of panchgavya 4.5% and jeevamrit 10.5% that is treatment T8 was superior followed by the interaction of panchgavya 4.5% and jeevamrit 7.5% that is treatment T6. In this investigation, the T8 was found most suitable for cultivation and getting better yield per hectare of tomatoes and best returns in terms of the economics of the crop with high net returns and Benefit-cost ratio.

SlPHL1 positively modulates acid phosphatase in response to phosphate starvation by directly activating the genes SlPAP10b and SlPAP15 in tomato

“…The pull-down analyses and LCI tests confirmed that nSlSPX1 and nSlSPX4 interact with cSlPHL1 (Figure 10). Thus, our differing results from Singh et al (2023) are most likely due to distinct experimental designs. Likewise, it is the C-terminus of OsPHR2 that is capable of binding to OsSPX1, OsSPX2, SPX4, and SPX6 (Lv et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014b;Zhong et al, 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, silencing of SlSPX1 enhanced the transcript levels of SlPAP10b and SlPAP15 as well as the APase activity (Figure 11). Also, silencing of SlSPX1 was found to promote plant growth and root mycorrhization in tomato (Singh et al, 2023).…”

“…Furthermore, the N‐terminus of SPX1/4 and the C‐terminus of SlPHL1 serve as the specific regions responsible for the binding (Figure 10). The interaction between SlPHL1 and SlSPX2 was recently demonstrated, but no interaction between SlPHL1 and SlSPX1 was observed (Singh et al, 2023). Following a comprehensive examination, it was found that they opted to clone the full‐length CDS of SlPHL1 instead of its C‐terminus as bait and employed the yeast strain PJ469A instead of AH109.…”

“…Furthermore, silencing of SlSPX1 enhanced the transcript levels of SlPAP10b and SlPAP15 as well as the APase activity (Figure 11). Also, silencing of SlSPX1 was found to promote plant growth and root mycorrhization in tomato (Singh et al, 2023). Similarly, OsSPX1, OsSPX2, OsSPX4, and OsSPX6 inhibit OsPHR2 transcription of PSI genes (Lv et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2014b; Zhong et al, 2018).…”

“…Tomato is an important horticultural crop that is widely cultivated worldwide, and increasing APase activity is a common feature of its PSR (Bozzo et al, 2002; Suen et al, 2015; Srivastava et al, 2020; Zhang et al, 2021). Recently, the PHR and SPX proteins of tomato were identified (Zhang et al, 2021; Liao et al, 2022; Singh et al, 2023). SlPHL1, an AtPHR1 homolog identified from tomato, plays a key role in the regulation of tomato PSR, including APase activity, root hair development, Pi uptake, and anthocyanin biosynthesis (Zhang et al, 2021; Wu et al, 2023).…”
