“…This is attributed to better growth of plants and higher yield by slow release of nutrients for absorption with additional nutrients like gibberellins, cytokinin, and auxins, by the application of organic inputs. These findings are in accordance with the findings of Ola et al, 2013, Ram et al, 2013, Patel et al, 2014and Patil et al, 2013. Previous research on effect of organic manures in enhancing crop and soil productivity have been reported by Pimentel et al, 2005 andPatil et al, 2010.…”

“…They have reported that importance of organic farming is understandable given the important role soil organic matter plays in maintaining soil productivity through multiple functions. These findings are in accordance with the findings of Ola et al, 2013, Ram et al, 2013, Patel et al, 2014and Patil et al, 2013. In light of above evidences, it seems that application of biodynamic preparations in combination with organic manures might have resulted in enhancing yield attributes and yield of groundnut under organic production system.…”

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2013-14 at Dryland Farming Research Station, Bhilwara (Rajasthan) to study the effect of organic nutrient sources on productivity and profitability of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment consisted of eight treatments having three organic sources viz., farmyard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure with or without rock phosphate and spray of vermiwsh was laid out in a randomized block design and replicated thrice. The organic sources comprising combined application of vermicompost @ 1 t ha -1 and 0.35 t Rock phosphate produced significantly higher number of pods per plant (18.33), number nodules per plant (13.11), pod weight per plant (13.43 g), test weight (36.39 g) and shelling percentage (54.06), pod yield (1377 kg ha -1 ), halum yield (2944 kg ha -1 ) of groundnut over the no manure application and superior over rest the treatments. The pod yield increased due to application of vermicompost @ 1 t ha -1 + 0.35 t Rock phosphate to the tune of 61.62 per cent over control. Application of vermicompost @ 1 t ha -1 + 0.35 t Rock phosphate gave highest net return (Rs. 41137 ha -1 ) and B: C ratio (3.19).

“…Similarly the yield losses declined from 5.80 kg/ha/day at 15 days weed free period to 0.95 kg/ha/day at 90 days weed free period. Keeping the crop free from weeds up to 30 DAS or weedy up to 30 DAS and there after removal of weeds gave higher number of plant/m 2 , number of umbel/ plant, number of umbellate/umbel and test weight then weed free up to 15 DAS or weedy up to 45 DAS or more period, these result are in close conformity with earlier finding of Patel et al (2007). The increase weed density (Table 1) and their biomass (Table 2) to such an extreme level under weedy check (T 7 ) might be attributed to uninterrupted growth of weed which ultimately suppressed the growth and yield attributing characters of fenugreek.…”

Background: Weed populations reduce crop yields by influencing the pattern of crop growth and development throughout the season and by directly competing with the crop for limiting precious resources, like light, water or nutrients. A number of the factors that influence magnitude of crop yield losses from weed interference include the timing of weed emergence relative to the crop, weed density, pattern of weed growth and development. Weed management is one among the foremost critical factors influencing crop yield. By providing a window of weed-free growth early within the season, the size advantage that crop seedlings have over weeds can be utilized to reduce the intensity of direct competition for resources at the stages of crop development when yield is being determined. Weeds are identified as a significance drawback since they create biotic stress in realizing the genetic yield potential of this valuable crop.Methods: A field experiment was carried out during the rabi season of 2010-11 to 2014-15 at ICAR- National Research Centre on Seed Spices, Ajmer, Rajasthan to estimate the yield losses because of weed infestation and to work out the critical period for weed control (CPWC) in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). There were 14 treatments comprising of initial weedy periods of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 days after sowing (DAS) and weed free period upto 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 DAS along with weedy till harvest (un-weeded check) and weed free till harvest (weed free check). The treatments were replicated three times in a randomized block design.Result: Maximum pod length (cm), number of pods/plant, number of seed/pod, test weight (g), seed yield (kg/ha), straw yield (kg/ha) and harvesting index (%) to the tune of 9.47, 41.2, 16.67, 12.60, 2297, 4954 and 31.73 were recorded at weed free throughout growth period. Weed infestation up to 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 DAS and weedy throughout growth period reduced the seed yield significantly to the magnitude of 567.3, 801.7, 913.3, 1253.3, 1393.7 and 1736.3 kg/ha. Yield losses in fenugreek increase from 2.95 kg/ha/day at 15 days weed infestation to 12.31 kg/ha/day at 135 days weed infestation. Maximum gross return (`104248/ha), net return (`67018/ha) were obtained at weed free throughout growth period with the B:C ratio 2.80 among the weed free treatments. The employment of response curves with weed free or weed competition period showed that seed yield of fenugreek were the highest with the field free from weeds throughout the growth period and the critical period of weed/fenugreek competition was 32 days after sowing and lies between 30-45 days after sowing. In regression approach for fenugreek seed yield and weed free or weed competition period the quadratic function was fitted to estimate the expected yields which had the high significant with the data recorded and have the highest values of R2. If we predict the seed yield losses based on the quadratic model for weed free period model, it declined from 42.04 at 0 DAS to 0.0% at 135 days. Similarly, weed infestation period model predicted the seed yield losses increased from 0.00 at 0 days weed infestation to 73.42% at 135 days. Critical period for weed competition in fenugreek was found to be 32 days after sowing. The CPWC is helpful for making decisions on the necessity for and timing of weed control.

“…(2014) [4] , Verma et al (2014) [6] and Naher et al (2016) [5] also recorded improvement in soil fertility after crop harvesting owing to integrated nutrient management. Data presented in Table-1 revealed that effect of nutrient management practices on available phosphorus in the soil was significant at harvest.…”

“…This might be due to organic manures on decomposition solubilize insoluble phosphorous fractions through release of various organic acids and increase available phosphorous status in soil. It also forms chelates with essential plant nutrients and fixation of elements which favours availability of nutrient to the crop (Patel et al (2014) [4] . The improvement in soil fertility after crop harvest due to integrated nutrient management was also reported by Verma et al (2014) [6] in fenugreek.…”

The beneficial role of supplemented organic manures and bio-fertilizers in improving soil physical, chemical and biological role is well known, which in turn helps in better nutrient absorption by plants and resulting higher yield demonstrated. A field experiment conducted at College Agronomy Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) to study the effect of nutrient management through organic sources in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) during 2016-17. There were total ten treatments with four replication tested under Randomized Block Design.
