Effect of Homa organic farming on growth, yield and quality parameters of Okra
No full textA field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2012 to study the biochemical efficacy of Homa organic farming practices in okra (Abelomoschus esculentus var. Arka Anamika) and laid out in randomized block design with 18 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments consist of control treatments i.e. conventional control and homa control; homa treatments (Agnihotra and Om Tryambakam homa) and non-homa treatments; and liquid organic manures viz, Panchagavya, Jeevamruta and Gloria Biosol for soil and foliar application. Among the control treatments, organic control recorded highest growth, yield and quality parameters than other controls. Soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol was significantly superior over all the treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes and recorded 20.28% more plant height and 21.41% more yield than organic control treatments. Ascorbic acid and free total phenol content of okra fruits in homa treatments were also significantly superior over all the treat-ments and recorded 15.45% and 5.33% more over organic control, respectively. Thus, it may be recommended that soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol, among all the Homa organic treatments, will give the better crop produc-tivity and its produce quality

No full textThe effect of Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL on soil physico-chemical properties and microflora population on tea soil of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India was investigated over two years (2014 and 2015). Effect of herbicides on bulk density, water holding capacity, moisture content, soil pH, organic matter content, electrical conductivity, as well as total nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium contents were analyzed along with microflora population of rhizosphere soil (total bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments comprised of POE application of Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL at 300, 375, 500, 750 g ha-1 along with standard check Basta (Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL) at 375, 500 g ha-1, hand weeding (at 25 and 45 DAA ) beside untreated control plot. Result revealed that, no significant changes in soil physico-chemical properties were observed due to application of tested herbicides. Herbicidal treatments recorded a decreasing trend on soil microbial counts immediately after application up to 20 DAA. Then the microflora population increased gradually after completion persistency period of Glufosinate Ammonium. Overall there was no long term adverse effect of Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL on the microbial population in Rhizosphere soil of Tea crop
