Keeping in view the role of plant nutrition, research trial was led to determine various rates of P 0, 25, 38, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 P2O5 kg ha -1 on yield, uptake, P utilization efficiency of Mungbean. For this, randomized complete block design was arranged with three times. The outcome showed that Phosphorus...

The result showed that addition of urea, palmyra sap and their mixture had a significant effect (P<0,05) on the value of pH, NH3 and lactic acid. Treatment T2 had the lowest values of pH and NH3 but had highest lactic acid. Additionally, the use of urea, palmyra sap and their mixture had a signi...

Furthermore, fermentation reduced the phytic acid content to 90.83% at 1.5% Na-glutamate and 15% red oncom mushroom level. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that the quality of cassava-tofu dreg mixture can be enhanced through fermentation using red oncom mushrooms enriched with Na-glutamate. This approach can increase the sustainability of feed availability and red...

...rthy of notice that when phosphorus was decreased or nitrogen increased, in combination with the other elements at their recommended levels, the nematode reproduced well and folded several times. Also, population dynamics of juveniles and cysts of H. zeae under the stress of a cropping sequence regime revealed that the average number in each stage greatly fluctuated. The density of juveniles or cysts gradually increased with the favorable host (Giza 2 corn) to...

Soil variability mapping was done using ArcGIS ver. 10.7. through IDW interpolation. The results reveled that majority (40%) of soils were clayey in texture, followed by clay loam and silty clay loam (16% each). Slightly to moderately medium-textured soils were dominant, followed by heavy clays. Majority of soils had high to excessiv...

The dose of B. amyloliquefaciens had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the water content, dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, and calcium. In addition, the dose of B. amyloliquefaciens and fermentation time did not affect crud...

The site which is occupied by millipede (site I) showed remarkably high quantity of nitrogen (2.14%), phosphorus (23.10%), potassium (0.24%) and calcium (0.83%) than the site without millipedes (site II) during the month of November 2016. Similarly, an ideal C/N ratio (20.05) was observed in site I which favours the plant growth, in turn increases the quantity of le...

Nine isonitrogenous, isocaloric and isolipidic diets with three Ca levels (0, 1 and 2%) combined with three P levels (0, 1 and 2% P) were prepared. Results showed that silver carp fed the diet supplemented with 1% Ca and 1% P level yi...
