Field experiments were conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Shenda Park Farm, Kolhapur on Entisol, Sub-montane Zone of Maharashtra during the Kharif seasons of 2014 to 2016 to study the response of finger millet crop to foliar nutrition of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The finger millet was transplanted and fertilized by basal general recommended dose of fertilizer (45 kg N: 22.5 kg P2O5: 00 kg K2O through briquettes) + FYM @ 5 t ha-1. Foliar spray was applied at 50 days after transplanting. The fertilizers used for spray were urea, di-ammonium phosphate, muriate of potash, complex 19-19-19 and calcium nitrate applied @ 2 % foliar spray while combination treatment of urea, di-ammonium phosphate and muriate of potash @ 0.5 % each was applied to the experimental plots.The findings of the field experiments revealed that the application of foliar spray increased the yields of finger millet crop. The highest yield was recorded by the treatment foliar spray of 19-19-19 @ 2% (22.68 q ha-1) over the recommended dose of fertilizer (17.75 q ha-1). It was followed by the treatment urea spray applied @ 2 % (20.86 q ha-1), DAP @ 2.0 % (19.85 q ha-1) and at par with rest of the treatments on foliar nutrition while it was superior over water spray (17.94 q ha-1). The similar trend was observed by straw yield of finger millet crop to that of grain yield. The data on plant uptake revealed that the treatment of foliar spray 19-19-19 @ 2% recorded higher uptake of N, P and K as compared to no foliar spray application. The application of foliar spray 19-19-19 @ 2% recorded significantly highest B:C ratio (1.46). The soil analyses after harvest of the crop revealed that the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in the soil after harvest of the crop did not differ amongst the different treatments.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens on wilt disease of brinjal incited by Ralstonia solanacearum, during three consecutive Kharif seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012 at the experimental farm of Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Sub-montane Zone, Kolhapur (Maharashtra) India. Pooled data of the three years revealed that the wilting was reduced remarkably in the plots, where the plants were drenched with copper oxychloride 40 g + streptocycline 2 g (per 10 L water). This treatment gave outstanding disease control and was the best amongst all the treatments tried, in reducing wilt incidence by 62.77 per cent and yield increase by 71.93 per cent compared to untreated control. However, maximum benefit-cost (B: C) ratio of 3.11 was recorded in the treatment wherein P. fluorescens was inoculated to seed + seedling ischolar_mains + soil. Consequently, on the basis of relative efficacy of P. fluorescens in terms of degree of disease control, additional yield, net profit per hectare and benefit: cost ratio, seed treatment with talc based culture of P. fluorescens @ 10 g kg-1 seed before sowing and seedling ischolar_main dip (2.5 kg of talc based formulation of P. fluorescens in 40 L water) as well as soil application (2.5 kg of talc based formulation of P. fluorescens mixed in 50 kg of FYM acre-1 soil), at the time of transplanting may be recommended to farmers for management of bacterial wilt of brinjal and thereby gaining higher fruit yield.Keywords
