“…practices, such as fertilizer management, irrigation, and pest control, can also influence grain quality by affecting the availability of nutrients and other resources for crop growth and development. Adequate and balanced fertilization is essential for ensuring optimal grain quality, as nutrient deficiencies or imbalances can lead to reduced growth, altered nutrient composition, or increased susceptibility to pests and diseases [7].…”

The field experiments were carried out during Rabi seasons of 2021-22 at Student’s Instructional Farm (SIF), Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur, to study the Effect of FYM, Vermicompost and Fertility levels on growth and yield of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The results revealed that at 30, 60, 90 & 120 DAS the treatment (T14) 100% RDF+ 50% N through Vermicompost recorded significantly higher plant height, Leaf Area Index, Crop Growth Rate and Relative Growth Rate followed by 100% RDF + 50% N through FYM (T10) in both year and pooled also. The highest Grain Yield (24.63 q. ha-1) with highest Harvest Index (28.40 %) was recorded over treatment (T14) 100% RDF + 50% N through Vermicompost of mustard followed by Grain Yield (23.70 q. ha-1) with Harvest Index (27.70 %) of 100% RDF + 50% N through FYM (T10) in both year and pooled also.

A field experiment was conducted at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during Kharif season of 2021, to evaluate effect of different doses of Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment was laid down in the Randomized block design with ten treatments which was replicated three times. At 45, 60 and 90 DAS among different herbicidal treatments maximum plant height was observed in Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC) @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1. Among the herbicidal treatments, highest cob length (15.67 cm), grain rows per cob (13.26), grains per row (26.93) and grains per cob (370.83) was observed in the treatment T4 (Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC) @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1) followed by treatment T3 (Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC) @ 0.875 kg a.i. ha-1). Data from experiment revealed that significantly highest grain yield was recorded in weed free plot (35.65 q ha-1). While among herbicidal treatments, application of Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 (35.18) resulted in significantly higher grain yield followed by (T3) Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC @ 0.875 kg a.i. ha-1 (34.38 q ha-1). Among all the treatments all the parameters of crop growth and yield was highest in the weed free treatment (T9).

The rapid expansion of Indonesia's agricultural sector has led to a surge in fertilizer demand. Dolomite lime shows potential as a promising alternative material to enhance fertilizer quality. This study aims to synthesize and characterize a Ca-Mg-NH4-PO4 composite using dolomite as a precursor through precipitation. The synthesis was successfully achieved through several stages, beginning with dolomite preparation, dissolution in 5N phosphoric acid, and subsequent precipitation with ammonium hydroxide at pH 8, 30°C, with a stirring speed of 450 rpm. The resulting composite was analyzed using various analytical techniques to evaluate its structural, morphological, and elemental compositions. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results indicated the formation of struvite crystals at positions 2θ = 20.828°, 30.539°, 33.234°, brushite crystals at position 2θ = 11.650°, and impurity compounds that appeared during the synthesis process. Impurities affecting crystal purity were detected but could be minimized through washing. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a monoclinic crystal morphology with particle sizes ranging from 4.32 μm to 579 nm. X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis verified the presence of Ca, Mg, NH₄, and PO₄ components in the composite. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that the composite has P-O-C functional groups at 949 cm⁻¹, 972 cm⁻¹, and 1027 cm⁻¹, and N-H functional groups at 1466 cm⁻¹. Overall, this Ca-Mg-NH₄-PO₄ composite derived from dolomite demonstrates promising characteristics as a multi-nutrient fertilizer, offering a high-quality option to support sustainable agricultural practices.
