A field experiment was conducted at C.C.S. HAU, Regional Research Station, Bawal to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and sulphur fertilization on fodder yield and quality of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). There was significant increase in green and dry fodder yield with increase in S levels from 0 to 40 kg/ha. Similarly, with increase in P2O5 level from 0 to 60 kg/ha, there was significant increase in green and dry fodder yield of cowpea. Application of 60 kg/ha P2O5 with 40 kg/ha S resulted in maximum green and dry fodder yield of cowpea as compared to other treatment combinations. Crude protein, ether extract and ash content were increased with each increment of P2O5 and S levels while crude fiber and nitrogen free extract showed reversed trend.Keywords

The influence of sewage-sludge and inorganic fertilizers (NPK) on growth, yield and quality of mustard was assessed from a field experiment on loamy soil in Rabi season of 2010-11. The levels of sewage sludge and inorganic fertilizers (NPK). The plant height (cm), seed yield (q ha-1) and content of oil and protein were significantly increased by the application of both sewage-sludge and inorganic fertilizer. The maximum growth and yield was obtained by the sewage-sludge application @12 t ha-1 and by the 75 per cent inorganic fertilizer. The interaction between sewage-sludge and inorganic fertilizer was found significant and the maximum increase in the growth, yield, oil (%) and protein (%) was obtained by applied sewage-sludge @ 12 t ha-1 and 75 per cent NPK. Four level of sewage-sludge (@ 0, 4, 8 and 12 t ha-1) through city waste and four level of inorganic fertilizers (@ 0, 50, 75 and 100 per cent of recommended dose were evaluated.Keywords

Water is the most important natural resource which needs to be properly and scientifically utilized for improving the productivity, environment and economic condition of the rural area. The present study was conducted to canal water quality status in district of Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, for irrigation purpose. The canal water samples were analyzed for their chemical properties total salt (electrical conductivity), pH, anions (Cl, HCO3, SO4, NO3, F, B), cations (Ca2++Mg2+, Na+, K+). In water samples total salt (EC) ranged from 0.20 to 0.64 dSm-1, pH7.2 to 8.1, potassium 1.95 to 12.12 mg L-1, sodium 2.80 to 65.55 mg L-1, Ca+Mg 22.80 to 96.40 mg L-1, bicarbonate 82.96 to 269.01 mg L-1, chloride 12.60 to 44.38 mg L-1, sulphate 12.81 to 105.71 mg L-1, nitrate 2.50 to 25.42 mg L-1, fluoride 0.21 to 0.86 mg L-1 and boron 0.10 to 3.51 mg L-1. Correlation was also works out between different parameters. The correlation co-efficient (r) among nine canal water quality parameter namely total salt (electrical conductivity), pH, anions (Cl, HCO3, SO4, NO3, F, B), cations (Ca2++Mg2+, Na+, K+) were calculated for correlation analysis which showed chemical facies of canal irrigation water samples. The EC showed good positive correlation with chloride, sulphate, Ca + Mg, nitrate, bicarbonate, potassium, sodium and negative correlation with pH. The Muzaffarnagar district is safe for irrigation purpose.Keywords
