“…Peanut as a winter crop is sown from the second fortnight of November until January. Prevailing low temperatures during the early growth phases have been considered a major obstacle for satisfactory plant development [5]. Additionally, high weed infestations and high soil surface evaporation leading to increased irrigation demand are critical factors that slow crop growth and development in winter.…”

“…Mulch also slows the immobilization of soil nutrients and reduces leaching losses beyond the root zone, thereby facilitating better nutrient availability for crops [8]. Jain et al [5] confirmed that peanut grown under polythene mulching resulted in better growth, yield and quality traits as compared to no mulching. They reported 35.55% pod yield increase in peanut over the nonmulching situation.…”

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is adorned as the one of the important sources of vegetable oil, protein, vitamins and several minerals, which could mitigate the nutritional gap worldwide. However, peanut cultivation in winter suffers from low temperature stress and knowledge lacuna regarding the optimum dose nitrogen. Therefore, the present investigations were carried out during the winter seasons 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 at the district seed farm of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, an agricultural university in West Bengal, India (23°26’ N, 88°22´ E, elevation 12 m above mean sea level) to facilitate the comprehensive study of plant growth, productivity and profitability of an irrigated peanut crop under varied levels of nitrogen: with and without a rhizobium inoculants and with and without polythene mulch. Quality traits and nutrient dynamics were also itemized. Fertilizing with 100% of the recommended dose of nitrogen combined with rhizobium inoculant and polythene mulch significantly enhanced peanut plant growth, yield and yield-attributing traits, while resulting in the maximum fertilizer (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) uptake by different plant parts. The greatest number of root nodules occurred in the treatment that received 75% of the recommended dose of nitrogen with rhizobium supplementation under polythene mulch, while 50% of the recommended dose of nitrogen with no rhizobium resulted in maximum fertilizer nitrogen use efficiency. Applying the full recommended dose of nitrogen with the rhizobium inoculants and mulch resulted in maximum profitability in the peanut crop.

“…Some additional soil is placed over the hole to cover the edges of polythene film. Cultivation under polythene mulch can increase groundnut yield by 20-50% (Nigam, 2006;Jain, 2017). The advantages of this practice include an increase in pod yield, proportion of well-filled pods and oil and protein contents in seeds.…”

“…Para minimizar perdas e aumentar a disponibilidade de água no solo, o gel hidroretentor apresenta-se como uma alternativa viável e economicamente acessível demonstrando grande eficiência (JAIN et al, 2017;FIDELIS et al, 2018;SINGH et al, 2018). De acordo com Felippe et al (2016), efeitos benéficos são obtidos no crescimento e desenvolvimento vegetativo das plantas.…”

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a associação do uso de hidrogel e utilização da adubação nitrogenada na cultura do tomateiro de mesa. Foi conduzido um experimento, no Instituto Federal Goiano-Campus Morrinhos. As plantas foram conduzidas verticalmente utilizando-se fitilhos como suporte e mantendo-se oito cachos por planta. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos com os tratamentos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em parcelas subdivididas duas aplicações (com e sem gel hidroretentor) e quatro adubações nitrogenadas (0; 180; 360 e 540 kg ha-1). As adubações de cobertura foram realizadas aos 25; 40; 55; 70; 85; 100 e 115 dias após o transplantio das mudas, respectivamente. Verificou-se que a fonte de variação hidrogel ocorreu efeito significativos, no diâmetro do caule final, matéria verde e textura do fruto. Para o fator doses de nitrogênio, os resultados apontam incrementos nas características clorofila na região basal, média e apical da planta, diâmetro do caule final, matéria seca e verde, número de frutos médios, peso por quilograma de frutos médios na área útil, taxa de crescimento absoluto par altura da planta e produtividade por hectare. A aplicação do gel hidroretentor não influenciou na produção do tomateiro de mesa cv. Santy. Palavras-chave: Solanum lycopersicum L; clorofila; doses de nitrogênio; pós colheita tomateiro.
