A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the influence of FYM, compost and rock phosphate with PSB on soil nutrient balance under organic cultivation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in vertisol at Agricultural Research Station, Annigeri, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka during Rabi season of 2009-10 and 20010-11. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. There were nine treatment combinations consisting of two organic manures viz., compost and FYM with four levels of rock phosphate(50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and an absolute control treatment for comparison. Soil nutrient balances were worked for major nutrients (NPK) taking the initial soil status, nutrient addition, crop uptake and nutrient left in the soil after harvest. The higher negative N balance was recorded with organic manures applied with higher level of rock phosphate and minimum negative nutrient balance was recorded with absolute control.Keywords

The simultaneous delivery of water and fertilizers to the active ischolar_main zone through subsurface drip fertigation system ensures optimum growth of sugarcane. Field experimentwas conducted at ZARS, V.C. Farm,Mandya during 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons comprising of plant and ratoon cane, respectively. The investigation was conducted to know the performance of sugarcane as influenced by duration and levels of subsurface drip fertigation. Results revealed that fertigation duration upto 9.5 months recorded significantly higher growth parameters of plant and ratoon cane at harvest viz., plant height (330.6 and 296.2 cm), number of tillers m-1 (34.66 and 43.33), leaf area dm2m-1 (87.32 and 118.69), total dry matter production g plant-1 (652.57 and 466.91) and SPAD reading (34.67 and 37.72), respectively. Growth parameters significantly not influenced by fertigation levels. Whereas, the interaction between fertigation duration and levels were significant. Fertigation upto 9.5 months with 125 per cent RDF recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height (332.5 and 299.5 cm), number of tillers m-1 (34.97 and 43.98), leaf area dm2m-1 (89.27 and 121.63), total dry matter production g plant-1 (658.70 and 473.37) and SPAD reading (34.92 and 37.82) in plant and ratoon cane, respectively at harvest. Stastically, at par results were observed with fertigation upto 9.5 months with 100 per cent of RDF and fertigation upto 9.5 months with 75 per cent of RDF. Normal method of sugarcane cultivation with surface irrigation with 100 per cent RDF soil application recorded lower plant height (281.4 and 259.1 cm), number of tillers m-1 (29.2 and 38.15), leaf area dm2m-1 (57.34 and 84.38), total dry matter production g plant-1 (519.69 and 340.36) and SPAD reading (23.39 and 26.47). Thus, results clearly indicated that 25 per cent of the recommended dose of fertilizer could be saved with higher cane growth through sub surface drip fertigation (SSDF) over normal practice of sugarcane cultivation.Keywords

An experiment studying the effects of various levels of fertigation duration and fertigation levels on jaggery quality parameters of sugarcane using the variety CO86032 over two crop seasons (2014-15 and 2015-16) was conducted at ZARS, V.C. Farm, Mandya. Results revealed that jaggery quality parameters like juice extraction per cent, net rendament value, reducing sugars in jaggery and jaggery hardness did not differ significantly due to fertigation duration, fertigation levels and their interaction. Whereas, significantly higher jaggery recovery (13.82 and 13.45%) and jaggery yield (31.92 and 28.19 t ha-1) was recorded with fertigation duration upto 9.5 months in plant and ratoon cane at harvest, respectively. Jaggery recovery and jaggery yield significantly not influenced by fertigation levels. The interaction between fertigation duration and levels were significant. Fertigation upto 9.5 months with 125 per cent RDF recorded significantly higher jaggery recovery(13.96 and 13.55%) and jaggery yield (32.21 and 28.91 t ha-1) in plant and ratoon cane at harvest, respectively. Stastically, at par results were observed with fertigation upto 9.5 months with 100 per cent of RDF and fertigation upto 9.5 months with 75 per cent of RDF. Normal method of sugarcane cultivation with surface irrigation with 100 per cent of RDF soil application recorded lower jaggery recovery (11.87 and 11.10%) and jaggery yield (16.70 and 13.70 t ha-1) of plant and ratoon cane at harvest, respectively. Experimental results clearly indicated that sub surface drip fertigation (SSDF) helps to increase the jaggery quality parameters over normal practice of sugarcane cultivation.Keywords
