A field trial was conducted with twelve treatments to test the effectiveness of poultry - carbonaceous wastes compost on the soil properties, growth and yield attributes of sunflower (Var - CO1). Application of compost improved the soil fertility by adding humus and nutrients. Compost along with 100% (60: 45: 45 kg NPK ha-1) and 75% (45: 33: 33kg NPK ha-1) recommended NPK increased the growth and yield of sunflower. Among the composts (Poultry droppings and coir pith, poultry droppings and paddy straw, poultry droppings and coir pith with rock phosphate), the coir pith, rock phosphate mixed poultry compost performed well. The coir pith and rock phosphate added poultry compost along with recommended levels of NPK recorded higher yield which was at par with the results of coir pith mixed poultry compost along with 75 per cent levels of recommended N, P and K. Compost application improved the crop yield, soil fertility status and saved 25 per cent of fertilizer.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted with twelve treatments to test the effectiveness of different poultry - carbonaceous wastes compost on the soil properties, growth and yield attributes of maize (Hybrid - Samrat). The application of compost improved the soil fertility by adding humus and available plant nutrients. Compost application along with 100 per cent and 75 per cent level of recommended NPK increased the growth and yield of maize. Among the different compost (Poultry droppings and coir pith, poultry droppings and paddy straw, poultry droppings and coir pith with rock phosphate), the compost prepared by mixing poultry droppings, coir pith and rock phosphate performed superior over others. The maize crop recorded high yield when grown using coir pith and rock phosphate added poultry compost along with recommended levels of NPK which was at par with the results of coir pith mixed poultry compost along with 75 per cent levels of recommended N, P and K. The present study confirmed that the compost application not only improved the maize yield but also the fertility status of soil and saved 25 per cent of fertilizer.Keywords

Storage of seeds enhances the longevity of the seed for sowing in the following season. Seed quality is the prerequisite condition that affects the germination and yield of any crop plants. The studies were carried out to determine the effects of three botanicals on greengram seeds storage. Laboratory studies were conducted with leaf powders of three plants to show the preservative effect for maintaining the quality of greengram seeds in storage. After processing and drying, seeds were preserved with different botanicals such as Albizia amara, Azadirachta indica, Phyllanthus emblica at a dose of 10g/kg and halogen mixture @3g/kg stored in gada cloth bags. At the end of six and twelve months, the germination percentage and the changes in the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase were determined in the treated seeds. The results revealed that, the botanicals and halogen mixture treatments were significantly effective in controlling and maintaining higher seed quality throughout the storage period when compared to untreated control. Among the botanicals, the Albizia amara was found better by recording significantly higher germination percentage and enzymatic levels were retained when compared to untreated control seeds during storage. From this study, it is revealed that uses of different botanicals are less costly, easily available to the farmers and safe to handle.Keywords
