“…This result indicated that despite the low rate of inorganic fertilizer application, the N, P, and K nutrients were absorbed efficiently by shallot plants. The research by Kumar et al (2017) showed that appropriate crops planting in multiple cropping system could reduce the competition of space between crops and enhance light interception. The competition space could increase effectiveness of solar radiation, water, and nutrient absorption, thereby optimizing plant growth.…”

The intensive application of synthetic/inorganic fertilizer on shallot cultivation tends to contaminate the environment and reduce soil quality. Meanwhile, the decrease of farmland area has been a limiting factor in increasing shallot production. Shallot farmers in Bantul District, D. I. Yogyakarta, commonly combine organic and inorganic fertilizers. Therefore, an alternative technology to sustain the production of shallot is through the application of fertilizer at the right rates and the practice of multiple cropping system. The objective of this research was to determine the growth and yield of shallot as affected by the reduced rates of inorganic fertilizer in multiple cropping systems. This research was conducted from August to November 2016 in Srigading Village, Sanden Sub-District, Bantul District, D. I. Yogyakarta. The research was arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The main plot was cropping system consisting of monoculture system (shallot) and multiple cropping system (shallot – chili). The subplot was fertilizer rates consisting of 100 % as control, 50 %, and 25 %. The results of this research showed that multiple cropping system did not decrease the growth and yield of shallot. Likewise, reducing inorganic fertilizer rates to 50% of control did not decrease shallot yield. However, the inorganic fertilizer rate of 25% significantly decreased shallot yield to 12.15 %.

An Agronomic investigation entitled “Performance of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Based intercropping system in kharif under different row proportion” was carried out at Agriculture College Farm, Nagpur during kharif 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments as T1- Sole sesame, T2 - Sole green gram, T3 - Sole black gram, T4 - Sesame : Green gram in 1:1 row ratio, T5 - Sesame : Green gram in 2:1 row ratio, T6 - Sesame : Green gram in 3:1 row ratio, T7 - Sesame : Black gram in 1:1 row ratio, T8 - Sesame : Black gram in 2:1 row ratio and T9 - Sesame : Black gram in 3:1 row ratio and were replicated thrice. The results of the study indicated that, among all treatments, sole sesame (T1) recorded highest seed yield, straw yield and biological yield. Among the intercropping treatments, sesame with black gram in 1:1 row ratio recorded higher seed yield, straw yield and biological yield. Intercropping of sesame: black gram in 1:1 row ratio (T7) recorded the higher GMR (₹ 87563 ha-1), NMR (₹ 62060 ha-1), B:C ratio (3.43).

Production of complementary food using locally available underutilized materials has become of necessity to overcome the economic effects on importation. This research examined the chemical composition, functional, microbial and sensory qualities of complementary food produced from Rizgah (Plectranthus esculentus), baobab fruit powder (Adansonia digitata), soybean (Glycine max) and crayfish(Cambarus Sp) flour blend. The raw materials used were purchased, processed into flour and mixed in varied proportions of Rizgah: baobab: soybean:cray fish flour(100:0:0:0; 85:10:5:0; 75:15:10:0;70:15:10:;60:20:15:5;55:20:15:10) to produce complementary foods and analyzed for chemical, microbial and sensory qualities. The ash, crude protein, crude fat and crude fibre increased from 9.34 to 16.77, 4.93 to 9.28, 9.48 to 11.50 and 1.57 to 3.53%, respectively, while the moisture and carbohydrates content decreased from 9.42 to 7.77 and 65.38 to 53.71%, respectively with reduction in the added Rizgah flour (100 to 55%). The bulk density decreased from 0.34 to 0.28g/cm3, while the swelling, oil absorption and water absorption capacity decreased from 85.25-66.10%, 25.50-17.50% and 57.50-45.50%, respectively. The vitamin C, vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 increased from 5.7 to 7.50(mg/100g), 0.64 to 3.00(mg/100g) and 0.58 to 1.75(mg/100g), respectively, with increase in the soybean, baobab powder and crayfish. The total coliform count, total heterotrophic bacterial count and total heterotrophic fungi count decreased from 2.8×10-2 to 1.5×10-2, 7.5×10-5 to 2.3×10-5 and 3.1×10-3 to 1.8×10-3, respectively, with decrease in the added Rizgah (100% to 55%). The mineral content of the sample increased from 0.29 to 0.90mg/100g for iron, 0.01 to 0.047mg/100g for sodium, 1.68 to 71.88mg/100g for calcium, 8.19 to 12.50mg/100g for magnesium and 0.96 to 2.75mg/100g for phosphorus with increase in the quantity of crayfish.The anti nutrient content of the sample varied from 5.90 to 5.81mg/100g for tannin, 5.46 to 13.60mg/100g for phytate, 7.81 to 10.91mg/100g for trypsin, 0.82 to 2.04mg/100g for oxalate. The relative increase observed for the anti nutrient content could be due to the added soybean flour. The average mean scores for aroma, colour, texture, taste, and overall acceptability of the complementary food samples varied from 3.50 to 3.60, 3.50 to 3.60, 3.50 to 3.40, 3.70 to 3.50 and 3.10 to 3.40 respectively, the relative increase in the average means score of sensory quality could be attributed to the added crayfish. This study has shown that relatively high quality and safe complementary food can be produced from Rizgah flour with addition of soybean, baobab and cray fish.
