Lower grain and straw yield

A field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 at Agricultural Experimental Farm of Calcutta University at Baraipur, 24-Paraganas (south), Kolkata to study the effect of micronutrient on yield and yield attributes of hybrid rice under boro cultivation in lower gangetic alluvial zone. NPK (40/120:60:60) + ZnSO4 + Ammonium molybdate + Disodium-tetrahydrateoctaborate as foliar application at active tillering stage and panicle initiation stage respectively of hybrid rice crop growth have profound influence on the yield parameters such as grain yield (6.54t/ha), straw yield (6.

A field experiment was conducted in the premises of Pepsico Pvt. Ltd., near Bengaluru during 2012-13 to study the effect of beverage industry effluent on soil properties, growth and yield of barley with ten treatments replicated thrice using RCBD design. The beverage industry effluent was neutral in reaction, medium in electrical conductivity (1.59 dSm-1 ), BOD (42.2 mg L-1 ) and COD (143 mg L-1 ) but low in plant nutrients content.

An experiment was conducted in Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station (AHRS), Bavikere, Tarikere taluk during Kharif 2016 to evaluate the K uptake Pattern and availability of nutrients as affected by level and time of K application under drill sown and transplanted condition. The factors comprising of two methods of establishment (drill and transplanting), three levels of potassium application (25, 37.5 and 50 kg ha1 ) and two different time of application of potassium (basal and split).

Field studies were performed during rabi seasons of 2013–14 and 2014–15 at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to examine the influence of sowing time and Zn application on productivity and Zn use efficiency of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Fiori & Paol.] varieties. Experiment was carried out in split-plot design and replicated thrice. Two factors sowing times (normal and very late) and wheat varieties (HD 2967, WR 544 and HD 3059) were taken in main-plots whereas third factor i.e. ZnSO4.7H2O application (control, 25 kg/ha soil application, three foliar sprays @ 0.

Field experiment was conducted during Kharif from 2010 to 2015 at GKVK, Bangalore to know the feasibility of cultivation of fingermillet in Melia dubia. There were six treatment combinations comprising intercrop of finger millet planted in different spacings with Melia dubia and finger millet alone as control. Results revealed that, sole finger millet recorded significantly higher grain (26.1 q ha-1 ) and straw yield (5865 kg ha-1 ), which was attributed to higher growth and yield attributes like number of productive tillers (6.17 hill-1 ) and 1000 seed weight (3.69 g).
