Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is an important small millet crop grown in India and has the pride of place in having highest productivity among millets. However, the productivity comes down in low available soil phosphorus areas where finger millet is grown. A field experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Perumalapalle, Tirupati, Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Andhra Pradesh, India during kharif, 2018 on sandy loam soil to study the effect of phosphorus fertilizer, PSB and VAM on soil fertility status and yield of finger millet. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments consists of combination of phosphorus fertilizer, PSB and VAM and replicated thrice. Soil samples were collected at initial and after harvest and analyzed for physico-chemical, chemical properties and grain yield was recorded after harvest. The results revealed that application of PSB, VAM along with phosphorus fertilizer exerted significant effect on available N, P2O5, K2O, S and DTPA extractable micronutrients. Significantly the highest available N (150 kg ha-1), P2O5 (42.34 kg ha-1 ), K2O (227 kg ha-1 ), S (9.57 mg kg-1 ), DTPA extractable Manganese (38.67 mg kg-1) was registered with application of 100 % RDP + PSB @ 750 ml ha-1 + VAM @ 12.5 kg ha-1 (T6). Moreover, this treatment led to the highest recorded grain yield of finger millet, achieving 4328 kg ha-1. Physico-chemical properties (pH, EC and OC) was non significant with phosphorus management practices. In conclusion, the results underscore the positive impact of the combined application of PSB, VAM, and phosphorus fertilizer on both soil fertility parameters and finger millet yield. This research provides valuable insights for enhancing agricultural practices in regions characterized by sandy loam soils and low phosphorus availability, contributing to the sustainable productivity of finger millet crops in India.

“…Although statistically significant, the differences in the concentrations of the majority of the analysed macronutrients were not confirmed, there was an upward trend in the plots, on which EM were applied. Ramakrishnaiah and Vijaya (2013) reported the positive effects of bio-preparations on the concentration of N, P and K in soil. An increased accumulation of K in the soil after the use of bio-inoculants was also proved by Bohrer et al (2003) and by Radkowski and Radkowska (2018).…”

A b s t r a c t. The experiment was conducted in 2016 and 2017 in the vegetation hall of the Faculty of Environmental and Agricultural Development, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin.The main goal of the study was to assess the influence of the biological preparation of effective microorganisms (EM), mineral and natural fertilization on: the yield of buckwheat (Fagopyrum Mill.) and millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), the SPAD index (leaf greenness index), the content of macro-and microelements in grain (N,

The rising concern about the spread of obesity and diabetes, and a growing awareness about healthy foods in western societies have stimulated, in the last years, a strong interest toward stevia sweeteners as alternative of sucrose and artificial intensive sweeteners. The worldwide demand for purified steviol glycosides from stevia is steadily increasing, and it is expected that in the future the agricultural production capacity will be lower than the market demand. This provides a strong incentive to explore the possibilities to cultivate stevia and to produce leaves and extracts, beyond the traditional production zones. The cultivation of stevia might represent a formidable opportunity for the growers, in order to diversify the cropping systems and to meet the increasing market demand for high-quality and traceable raw material. In addition, several legislative initiatives, such as the steviol glycosides approval as food additive in several countries, represent favorable factors for the development of a stevia-based agro-industry. To foster the introduction of this novel species, a significant improvement of its cultivation should be achieved and a modern agronomical blueprint defined. It is, in fact, imperative to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable crop production systems through the integration of site-specific agronomic techniques and efficient mechanization technologies for the production and processing of a higher quality product. Several agronomic aspects require still to be optimized (e.g., choice of the cultivar, propagation and transplanting, sustainable weed management, nutrition, irrigation, harvesting), in order to improve, not only the leaf yield, but also its quality in terms of steviol glycosides and bioactive compounds. Traceability and crop quality control along the production chain are the strongest points, in order to obtain a certification that will provide to the farmers preferential market access and to sell the raw material at a differential price. The present chapter, therefore, aims to provide updated scientific information regarding the most important agronomic factors in order to foster stevia cultivation and attain maximum yield and quality.
