“…Manures also supply all of the essential major and minor elements. These factors might have helped in improving plant health and thereby reduced the disease incidence (Tamhani et al, 1970). Very slight infection occurred in NPK+ZnSO 4 +Gypsum, PK+ZnSO 4 , MOC (ghani) treated plants.…”

Abstract:The experiments were conducted to explore the possibility of integration of various approaches for control of guava anthracnose during fruiting seasons, 1992-93. The organic manures cowdung at 10 kg/tree, Mustard oil cake (MOC) (ghani), MOC (mill), Sesame oil cake (SOC) at 2 kg/tree and fertilizers urea, Tripple Super Phosphate (TSP), Muriate of Potash (MP), ZnSO 4 , Gypsum at 0.3, 0.3, 0.35, 0.005 and 0.01 kg/tree respectively were applied separately and in six combinations. In another experiment tilt, rovral, Mn, B and Zn at 1000, 500 and 2000 ppm respectively were sprayed separately for three times at 15 days interval starting from early fruit stage. All the sprayed plants received a recommended basal dose of NPK before start of spraying schedule. Disease severity (% fruit infection and % fruit area diseased) was recorded at 15 days interval for continuous 4 times starting 15 days after treatment. No disease developed for the treatment of cowdung, MOC (mill), MP, ZnSO 4 , Cowdung+MOC (mill), K+ZnSO 4 , NPK+tilt spray and NPK+Zn spray. Very slight infections were observed for rovral spray (0.08%), Mn spray (0.08%), NPK+ZnSO 4 +gypsum (0.18%), PK+ZnSO 4 and MOC (ghani) (1.8%). TSP, cowdung+MOC (ghani) were less effective but urea, gypsum, cowdung+SOC, and SOC were ineffective. Results were very promising from the point of environmentally friendly control of guava fruit anthracnose.

“…Similar trends were observed for N, P and K uptake. It may be noted that fertilization increases the cation exchange capacity of roots and thus make them more efficient in absorbing nutrient (Tamhane et al, 1964).…”

A field experiment comprising of twelve treatment combinations was conducted for two years at Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur, India. Crop geometry treatment comprising of two row spacings (60 cm × 10 cm and 45 cm × 10 cm) were allocated to the main plots and six nitrogen management practices namely, Rhizobium inoculation in conjunction with 75 and 50 per cent of recommended N either as basal or split application and recommended N (100 %) were assigned in sub-plots. Wider spacing resulted in significant higher seed yield (7.3%) over close spacing along with superior performance of component traits and nutrient uptake. The split applied nitrogen resulted in better performance of different parameters which together enhanced seed yield by 13.8 per cent over recommended N as basal application. Augmentation of nitrogen with Rhizobium culture positively improved growth and yield parameters leading to net saving of 25 per cent N fertilizers as evident from higher seed yield in treatment comprising 75 per cent split applied N + Rhizobium over recommended N. Interaction effects of split applied N at both row spacings resulted in better performance for seed yield, other related traits and uptake of NPK. Split applied 100 per cent N at wide spacing resulted in 15.5 and 23.6 per cent higher seed yield over recommended N at wider and close spacing, respectively. It could be concluded that Rhizobium inoculation could save 25per cent synthetic fertilizer N. Wider spacing (60 cm × 10 cm) and split applied nitrogen was a better preposition for enhancing productivity of pea in an acid alfisol under north western Himalayas.

“…There is an upper finer layer on top of the inner layer that give base to the painting (layer) with thickness ranging from 10-15 mm at various points. The earthen plaster layers are composed of earth with characteristics very close to soil type available in the surroundings (Tamhane, 1964). In a higher rain fed area of Western Ghats, there is all probability of occurrence of more of a clayey soil for construction work.…”

The historic mud plaster of Bhaja caves dated back to 1 st century BC to 3 rd century AD were investigated for their mineralogical, micro -structural and chemical characterisation. The analytical studies were performed using petrological microscope, thin section analysis, XRF, Laser particle size analyser, FTIR, XRD and scanning electron microscope. The traditional mud plaster is applied in two layers and thickness of inner layer depends on the topography of the basaltic stone surfaces. From the analytical examinations, it appears that in high rain fed regions of India's Western Deccan, fine clayey soil (clay>65%, sand 20-28% and silt 7-15%) has been sourced for the preparation of earliest mud plaster of Bhaja caves and its properties modified by deliberate mixing of slaked lime, sand and proteinaceous adhesive to enhance cementing properties. SEM photomicrographs reveal presence of elongated kaolinitic 'verm' and inter wired filamentous clay ribbons of illite-sepiolite in the plaster. The shrinkage property of the plaster has also been modified by addition of rice husk as vegetal additives. The present study favours methodological approach for preparing compatible mud plaster needed for the restoration of Bhaja caves.
