“…A significant increase in crop growth and yield attributes under T 4 might be attributed to ameliorative effect of treatments in mitigating sodicity in experimental soil over a period of 2 years (Yaduvanshi & Swarup, ). Because the combined treatment improved the soil properties in 2 years, which supported better vegetative growth and higher yield consequently (Shafi et al , ). The increase in yield and seed quality of wheat crop might also be due to an increase in nutritive effects of the soil (Gopinath et al , ).…”

A novel bioaugmented organic amendment (SF OA ) [consisted of vermicompost (pre-enriched with plant growth promoting fungi) mixed with pressmud and Azadirachta indica (A. Juss.) seed cake] was developed to reclaim sodic soil and support wheat production. A field trial of the SF OA application with/without chemical fertilizers conducted in completely randomized design with four replications to compare growth, yield and seed protein contents of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on sodic soil. The favourable changes occurred in different properties of amended soils were studied. A combined application of chemical fertilizer and SF OA significantly (p < 0·05) increased the number of spikelet per plant (63%) and weight of grains per ear (65%) in the amended soil compared with the control. Likewise, the grain yield, weight of 1000 grains and seed protein contents of wheat were significantly (p < 0·05) increased in the combined application compared with other treatments. The expression of protein bands with molecular weights of 36, 52 and 66 kDa were higher in seeds of wheat under the combined treatment. The improvement in wheat production was attributed to significant favourable changes in different soil characteristics such as bulk density, total organic C, alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase, dehydrogenase and cellulase activities that were increased by 234%, 181%, 234%, 176%, 189% and 150%, respectively, in case of amended soil under the combined treatment compared with the control. The tested SF OA may be recommended as soil amendment for reclaiming sodic soil and supporting wheat cultivation with better crop growth and yield in combination with chemical fertilizers on sodic soil.

An experiment was conducted during winter season of 2021-22 on berseem (BL 10) crop. The experiment comprised of 12 treatments viz. T1 (Control), T2 (100% RDF), T3 (FYM 17 tonnes ha -1 ), T4 (VC 1.3 tonnes ha -1 ), T5 (PM 3 tonnes ha -1 ), T6 (Rhizobium trifolii + PSB (seed inoculation), T7 (75% RDF + FYM 11 tonnes ha -1 ), T8 (75% RDF + VC 1 tonnes ha -1 ), T9 (75% RDF + PM 2.0 tonnes ha -1 ), T10 (75% RDF + FYM 5 tonnes ha -1 + PM 2.5 tonnes ha -1 ), T11 (75% RDF + VC 1.2 tonnes ha -1 + Rhizobium trifolii + PSB (seed inoculation), T12 (75% RDF + FYM 5 tonnes ha -1 + VC 1 tonnes ha -1 + Rhizobium trifolii + PSB (seed Inoculation). Randomized Block Design was used with three replications. The results revealed that the significantly highest plant height (cm), number of shoots per m 2 , number of plant population per m 2 , leaf: stem ratio and green fodder yield (q ha -1 ) were observed with the application of treatment (75% RDF + FYM 5 tonnes ha -1 + VC 1.0 tonnes ha -1 + Rhizobium trifolii + PSB (seed Inoculation) fallowed by (75% RDF + VC 1.2 tonnes ha -1 + Rhizobium trifolii + PSB (seed inoculation).

“…Phosphorous is required for energy transfer system and many enzymatic reactions in plant. The combination of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) with chemical fertilizer like rock phosphate improved crop yield (Shafi et al, 2012). Application of phosphorus significantly increased the fodder yield, leaf area per plant, plant height, number of leaves per plant and stem diameter (Munir et al, 2004).…”

P ROPER nutrient management in crop production not only improves and stabilizes the yield, but also improve the environmental health. The productivity of berseem affected by nutrient imbalances and Poor soil fertility. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of various levels of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the forage and seed yield of berseem. The experiment was laidout in 3 X 4 factorial arrangement in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The P levels used were 40, 60 and 80kg ha -1 and K levels were 0, 15, 30 and 45kg ha -1 . The statistical analysis data showed a significant (P< 0.05) effect on growth parameters like Crop Growth Rate (CGR), Lead Area Index (LAI) and Leaf Area Duration (LAD) of berseem in optimized fertilizer practices compared to traditional farming practice. Results recorded revealed that highest crop growth rate (5.20g m -2 day -1 ), Leaf Area Index (2.17) and Leaf Area Duration (125.10 days) were estimated in T8 where PK were applied @ 60:30kg ha -1 compared to all other fertilizer doses. Similar results were recorded in yield and yield attributes. The results of the study showed that maximum plant height (76cm), No. of seed per capsule (46), 1000 seed weight (1.77g), fodder yield (82tons ha -1 ) and seed yield (617kg ha -1 ) was obtained in T 8 . The combination of fertilizer gave maximum potential seed yield and other parameters rather than fertilizers alone.
