The treatments were T0(control), T1(N100P15K45S20 (Recommended dose), T2 (50% NPKS+5 t ha -1 CD), T3 (70% NPKS+3 t ha -1 CD), T4(50% NPKS+4t ha -1 PM ), T5 (70% NPKS+2.4 t ha -1 PM ), T6 (50% NPKS+10 t ha -1 DH) and T7 (70% NPKS+6 t ha -1 DH). The result demonstrated that the grain and straw yields were significantly influenced by the added fertilizers and manure. Application of 50% of NPKS fertilizers plus 10 t ha -1 dhaincha produced maximum grain yield (5085 kg ha -1 ) which was identical to that obtained with 70% of NPKS with 6 t ha -1 dhaincha. In case of straw yield, the treatment T7 (70% NPKS+6 t ha -1 DH) produced the highest yield (5470 kg ha 1 ) and then (5250 kg ha -1 ) yield obtained from T6 (50% NPKS+10 t ha -1 DH) treatment. The grain yield increases over control ranges between 115 to 176%. Grain yield of T. Aman rice was positively correlated with plant height, number of effective tiller, panicle length, filled grains panicle -1 and straw yield. The overall findings of this study indicate that the integrated use of fertilizer and manure should be encouraged to address the deteriorating soil fertility and increased crop yield of T. Aman rice.

The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different sources of nutrient and hormones on the growth and yield of tomato. The study consisted of Factor A: different nutrient sources viz. N0: Control; N1: Cowdung (60 tha-1); N2: Vermicompost (7 tha-1) and N3: Recommended dose (10 ton Cowdung + 550 kg Urea + 450 kg TSP + 250 kg MPha-1) and Factor B: different hormones viz. H0: Control; H1: NAA (30 ppm) and H2: GA3 (30 ppm). The minimum days (32d) required from transplanting to 1 st flowering from N3H2 and the maximum (39d) was needed from N0H0. The treatment N3H2 performed better than other treatments and produced maximum (59.11) number of fruits per plant, maximum (95.82 g) weight of individual fruit and maximum (83.87 ton) yield per hectare. Treatment combination, N3H2, enhanced fruit production by about three times over control (20 fruits plant-1) and individual fruit weight by 1.6 times compared to control (59 g plant-1) resulting maximum fruit yield (83.87t ha-1) which is 2.4 times higher than that of control, N0H0. It appears that the recommended fertilizer dose along with GA3 application may be recommended for tomato production.
