|
||||||||||||||||||||
The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing onion in medium black calcareous soil are recommended to apply 75% RDF (56-45-37.5-15 kg/ha N-P2O5-K2O-S) + 1 % (100 g/10 liter water) foliar spray of water soluble fertilizer (19-19-19 N-P-K) and 1 % Banana pseudostem sap both at 45 and 60 day after transplanting for getting higher yield and net return.

Title: Effect of foliar application of water soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and nutrients uptake by Bt. cotton
|
||||||||||||||||||||
The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing Bt cotton in medium black calcareous soil are advised to apply 75% RDF (180-37.5-112.5 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha) + two spray of 2.0 % water soluble fertilizer (19-19-19) at 50 and 75 DAS to Bt cotton for getting higher yield and net return.

Recommendation No. 1
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Title: Soil test based fertilizer recommendation for targeted yield of wheat
|
||||||||||||||||||||
The scientist of soil testing laboratories are informed that the nutrients requirement for production of one quintal wheat grainwas assessed as 3.81, 0.82and 3.40kg; N, P2O5 and K2O, respectively andthe fertilizer prescription equations are: for N: [FN =6.82 x T - 1.01 x SN - 0.27 x FYM], P: [FP2O5 =1.80 x T - 2.25 x SP - 0.09 x FYM] and K:[FK2O: = 3.14 x T - 0.46 x SK - 0.27 x FYM] with FYM10 t ha-1. While, without FYM nutrients requirement for production of one quintal wheat grainwas assessed as 3.52, 0.77and 3.02kg; N, P2O5 and K2O, respectivelyandthe fertilizer prescription equations are: for N: [FN =8.53 x T - 1.19 x SN], P: [FP2O5 =2.61 T - 3.07 x SP] and K:[FK2O: = 5.03 x T - 0.68 x SK].Targeted yield concept could be effectively adopted up to 50 q/ha for site specific fertilizer recommendation to achieve high yields of wheatin the medium black calcareous soils of Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
