“…They recommended that, NPK elements applied to the plants found to be synergetic to one another and they should be in favor for good vegetative growth. These results also agree with those reported Jagadeeswaran et al, 2005 on Curcuma longa. They recorded that NPK (SRF) significantly enhanced agronomic efficiency, apparent recovery and partial factor productivity.…”

The present study was carried-out during the two successive years of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 at Antoniades Research Branch, Horticulture Research Institute, A.R.C. Alexandria, Egypt. An experiment was established to test the effect of different levels of slow release fertilizers and different growing media on the production of Lilium hybrida cv. "Golden Tycoon". Four growing media 100% sand, 75% sand+25% peat, 50% sand+50% peat and 25%sand + 75% peat moss were used in combination with 0.0, 6.0 and 12.0 g rates of slow release fertilizer (S RF) {El-Ganem15:15:15 (NPK)}. Using the high rate of SRF level at 12.0g with a media of 50%sand +50% peat moss greatly affected the production of lilium flowering production. Intensively fertilized plants gave higher flower fresh and dry weights, flower diameter, bulb fresh and dry weights, total chlorophylls and carbohydrates and each of NPK content in the leaves and bulbs.

“…According to Jagadeeswaran et al (2005), the partial factor productivity of NPK decreased as NPK levels increased. Increased Rutuba levels from 625 kg to 937.5 kg Rutuba/ha raised the agronomic efficiency of nitrogen (AEN).…”

Abstract. Mokaya BN, Chemining’wa GN, Ambuko JL, Nyankanga RO. 2018. Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth yield and nutrient use efficiency of clonal tea (Camellia sinensis). Cell Biol Dev 2: 15-26. This research observed how to boost tea yields in small-scale tea producers using inorganic NPK fertilizers yearly while the cost of fertilizers has been rising, resulting in a decrease in net returns. The influence of different rates of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the soil chemical characteristics, growth, yield, and nutrient usage efficiency of clonal tea was investigated in an experiment. In the 2014/2015 production year, experiments were put up in Kianjokoma, Embu County. Organic Rutuba® and inorganic NPK fertilizers were employed (26.5.5). No-fertilizer control, 625 kg NPK/ha, 937.5 kg NPK/ha, 1875 kg NPK/ha, 625 kg Rutuba/ha + 625 kg NPK/ha, 625 kg Rutuba/ha, 937.5 kg Rutuba/ha, and 1875 kg Rutuba/ha were the treatments. These treatments were repeated three times in a randomized full-block design. Green leaf yield, black made tea yield, leaf length, and leaf breadth were among the crop statistics obtained. The soil data collected at the trial included the pH, exchangeable acidity, organic carbon, micronutrients, and macronutrients. Plant utilization efficiency for nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium were also measured. The cost and net revenue of each fertilizer treatment were calculated as well. The data were subjected to analysis of variance, and the least significant difference test was used to separate the groups at p 0.05. Adding organic Rutuba to the soil raised the pH and the amounts of Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Ca, and Mg. Compared to the no-fertilizer control and farmers' practice, the application of 625 kg Rutuba/ha + 625 kg NPK/ha resulted in enhanced leaf length, breadth, fresh green leaf yield, and made tea yield. According to the findings, the application of Rutuba fertilizer considerably improved agronomic efficiency, apparent nutrient recovery, and partial factor productivity of N, P, and K compared to inorganic NPK fertilizer. The study also found that applying NPK 26.5.5 at rates more than 625 kg/ha did not affect growth, yield, nutrient usage efficiency, or net returns. However, because organic Rutuba has a low macronutrient level, the study indicated that it should not be used alone in tea manufacturing. More research is needed to discover the best NPK and Rutuba fertilizer mix, as well as the influence of organic Rutuba fertilizer on tea quality.

The aim of this work is to assess soil types' effect on the growth and production of Curcuma longa rhizomes. The Rhizome of Curcuma longa was grown in a greenhouse in pots for seven months on different soil types. Physico-chemical analyses of the different soils were carried out. Collar diameter, the height of the plants, and yield of rhizome were measured. Total microbial density, number of spores, and root colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from these soils were assessed. Results show that soils are sandy clay loam, clay sandy, clay, acidic (pH 4.16 to 6.62), and have a C/N ratio from 6.10 to 19.83. Nitrogen (N) is between 0.49 to 2.41 g/kg, available phosphorus (P) between 2 to 16 ppm, Organic matter (OM) from 14.6 to 51.4 g/kg. Total microbial density is between 2 to 16 × 10 6 Cell/mm 3 , number of AMF spores in situ between 4 to 67 spores/g of soil. The frequency of root colonization is between 47% to 78%. The average growth and rhizome production are between 5 to 15 g/plant. All the results obtained show that the soils with clay to sandy clayey loam texture, medium acidity (pH 5.5 -6.6), low C content (7.3 -9.6 g/kg), low N content (0.49 -1.13 g/kg), good C/N ratio (<14), low to medium AMF sporulation (28 -41 spores/g) and AMF root colonization between 55% to 78% are the most suitable for the cultivation and rhizome production of Curcuma longa in Cameroon.
