Effect of organic manure on soil physicochemical properties under fruit based agroforestry system.
An experiment was conducted under peach based agroforestry system for two consecutive years during 2010 and 2011 in experimental farm of Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and comprised of 10 treatments, which included three different doses of Vermicompost (2t/ha, 4t/ha, 6t/ha) and three different doses of FYM (15t/ha, 20t/ha, 25t/ha) in combination with and without Peach. The results reveled that soil pH was the highest (7.41) under peach where, FYM @ 25t/ha was applied as compared to other doses of organic manures. Soil electrical conductivity was recorded maximum (0.28 dSm-1) under 6t/ha vermicompost, while soil bulk density was the minimum (1.02 Mg m-3) under 25t/ha FYM. Soil organic carbon content at 0-15cm and 15-30cm soil depth was recorded higher 2.16% and 1.75% respectively, under higher dose of FYM (25t/ha) as compared to other doses of organic manures. Available macronutrients were significantly affected by the intercropping of medicinal herbs and the application of organic manures under peach based agroforestry system. Soil nitrogen, phosphorous, sulphur and magnesium were found maximum under peach where, 6t/ha vermicompost were applied as organic manure, while soil potassium were recorded higher where, 25t/ha FYM were applied. The physicochemical properties and nutrient status of soil were comparatively better under peach than in the control.
Effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on biomass distribution, growth and yield of okra
2009
season of 2014-15 to study the effect of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on growth, yield and quality traits of tomato cv. Roma. The seedlings were transplanted in last week of October with a spacing 60cm x 45cm. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with twelve treatments replicated thrice. Result indicated that the maximum height of the plant (21.95, 33.91 and 45.15cm) was recorded at 30, 60 and 90 DAT with 50% RDF+ 50% VC+ PSB application followed by 50% RDF+ 50% VC+ Azosporillum and minimum in control. The number of branches (4.13, 10.09 and 16.03) was recorded at 30, 60 and 90 DAT with the application of 50% RDF+ 50% VC+ Azosporillum, followed by 50% RDF+ 50% VC+PSB and minimum in control. The number of days taken by plants for flowering was less under control (41.52). The maximum number of flowers, flower clusters and fruits/plant were 31.93, 9.09 and 18.00 respectively in 50% RDF+ 50% VC+ Azosporillum. Similarly maximum fruit weight (70.94 gm) and fruit diameter (7.06 cm) were also noticed with the application of 50% RDF+50% VC+ Azosporillum which is significantly superior over control. Same trend was also noticed in yield per plant (0.991 kg), per plot (15.87 kg) and per ha (73.33q) in the same treatment. The maximum titrable acidity 0.72 was in control among fruits of different treatments while minimum titrable acidity (0.56) was found in fruits of treatment received 50% RDF+ 50% FYM+ Azosporillum. The maximum TSS (5.400B) obtained from the fruits given 100% Vermicompost and minimum in control (3.650Brix). Highest vitamin C of fruits has been recorded in the 50% RDF+ 50% VC+ Azosporillum (23.90%) as compared to the control (21.71%).
Effect Organic Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Okra
Field experiments to investigate the effect of different sources organic manure (cow, sheep, poultry and the combination of the treatments i.e SPC Manure) on growth and yield of okra were canned out. Treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RBCD) with three replications. Data were collected on growth and yield parameters (plant height, number of leaf, stem girth, number of fruits and fruit weight).Results obtained indicated that growth and yield of okra were lowest in control treatments which showed that the organic manures used in the study especially poultry manure positively influenced the performance and yield of the okra. Poultry manure positively increased okra plant height by 30.40%and SPC manure increased number of fruit of okra by 9.00% compared to control treatments. Fresh fruit weight was significantly increased by 125.66% with poultry manure compared to control treatments. Based on the findings on the experiments it could be deduced that poultry manure seems to promote higher growth and yield of okra. Thus it is recommended for farmers.

A field experiment was conducted to explore the effects of organic manures and green manuring practices on growth, yield attributes, quality and economics of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus L.) under custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) based agri-horti system. The findings indicated that growth, yield attributes and yield as well as oil composition, soil nutrient status, microbial populations were significantly increased due to the use of both organic manures and green manuring. The significantly higher results were obtained with vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) + Azotobacter, which was found superior over other practices in terms of growth, yield attributes, oil composition and its quality and soil nutrient status as well as economics of crop cultivation.
