“…Organic mulch resulted better than un mulched plots in fruit yield, the reason being, besides weed control, straw also acted as manure resulting in increased soil fertility. Similar results were also reported by Dhaliwal et al, (2017) where total higher yield of tomato under black polythene mulch was the result of increased temperature, net radiation andbetter development of roots, vegetative growth and better nutrient uptake [16]. The resultswere found conformity with Rao et al, and Nair [17,18].…”

A field experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field at Ratanpur village of Marshaghai block of Kendrapara district of Odisha to assess the effect of different mulching practices on weed population, moisture content in soil, growth and yield of tomato. The experimental field in an adopted village of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Kendrapara where National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) Project activities are being undertaken. The experiment consists of five mulching treatments like black polythene mulch, black and silver polythene mulch, transparent mulch organic mulch and without mulch as control. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five replications. Results revealed that higher moisture content in soil (14.2 %) at 7 days after planting when black with silver colour polythene mulch was used for tomato cultivation. Black with silver colour polythene mulch showed low weed density and dry weight (0.7/ m2 and 0.4 g/ m2) at 20 and 40 days after planting as compared to other treatments. The same treatment gave significantly higher yield per plant (2.27 kg) and yield (56.5 t/ha). Organic mulch was also found a better treatment with respect to yield per plant (1.84 kg) and yield (48.4 t/ha). Higher return obtained by the farmers when black with silver colour polythene mulch was used for tomato cultivation. Black polythene mulching and organic mulching practices was also found good in soil moisture content, weed population in field and yield of tomato.

“…The data was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using generalized linear model procedure of SAS (Version 9.2; SAS Inst., Cary, NC, USA). The two mushroom genera, concentration of the chemical/NP formulation used and hours of incubation were analyzed as per the split plot design [19]. The treatment differences were determined using Fisher's protected LSD method at p 0.05.…”

Alterations in Growth and Morphology of Ganoderma lucidum and Volvariella volvaceae in Response to Nanoparticle Supplementation

Use of nanoparticles (NPs) in several commercial products has led to emergence of novel contaminants of air, soil and water bodies. The NPs may exhibit greater ecotoxicity due to nano-scale dependent properties over their bulk counterparts. The present investigation explores the effect of in vitro supplementation of TiO 2 , silica and silver NPs on radial growth and ultrastructural changes in the hyphae and spores of two mushroom genera, Ganoderma lucidum and Volvariella volvaceae. A concentration dependent decrease in radial growth on NP amended potato dextrose agar medium was recorded. However, in comparison to control, there was decrease in radial diameter on supplementation with TiO 2 NPs while an increase was recorded for silica and silver NPs amendments as compared to their bulk salts at same concentrations after 48 h of incubation. Optical microscopy studies showed decrease in the number of spores while increase in spore diameter and thinning of hyphal diameter on NPs supplementation. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of fungal growth showed presence of deflated and oblong spores in two fruiting strains of Ganoderma while Volvariella exhibited decreased sporulation. Further, hyphal thinning and branching was recorded in response to NP amendments in both the test mushrooms. Enhancement of protein content was observed on NP compared to bulk supplementation for all cultures, concentrations and hours of incubation except for TiO 2 NPs. Likewise, bulk and NP supplementations (at 100 mg L À1) resulted in enhanced laccase activity with occurrence of laccase specific protein bands on SDS-PAGE analysis.

“…With the adoption of the modern technology, chili farming is expected to contribute more to the rural economy of Indonesia. Previous studies show that adoption of hybrid seeds (Manea, 2017), foliar fertilizers (Agarwal et al, 2017) and silvery polyethylene mulching (Dhaliwal et al, 2017;Mukherjee et al, 2018) increase the productivity of vegetable farming, and thus this study paid a particular attention to these types of technology.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of microcredit and agronomic technology on farm households’ prosperity, and to determine important factors affecting farmers’ access to microcredit and technology adoption in Indonesian intensive farming. Design/methodology/approach The focus of the study was farmers engaging with chili-based agribusiness in rural areas. Data for this study were compiled from a survey that interviewed 250 farm households. Samples of the study were randomly selected from chili farming community in three regions of Java during 2013–2014. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings Microcredit provided positive direct and indirect impacts on household prosperity. Microcredit indirectly impacted the well-being through the mediation of technology adoption. Farmers’ characteristics and agribusiness environment determined farmers’ decision to access microcredit and adopt advanced technology. Microcredit and technology have enhanced farmers’ well-being through pathways that enabled farmers to develop farming scale. Practical implications The government should offer more alternatives to advanced technology and flexible procedures of access to credit at the same time to ensure sustained pathways of rural economic growth in Indonesia. Originality/value This paper applied a SEM to a proposition of simultaneous causal interrelations among microcredit, technology and farmers’ prosperity.
