The impact of long term nutrient management practices on soil fertility determinants and performance of upland rice after thirteen years of continuous cultivation on terraced land were studied in a field experiment conducted on the experimental farm of the School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development under rainfed conditions. Twelve treatments involving N, P and K (NPK) fertilizers, FYM, poultry litter, forest litter, Azospirillumand Zn either alone or in combinations were applied for thirteen years and rice crop cultivated continuously. The organic C content, available N, P and K, number of productive tillers, grain and straw yield increased significantly in all the treatments. The highest accumulation of available N, P and K was observed in NPK+ poultry litter, NPK+ FYM and ½N + PK + ½N forest litter treatments, respectively. After thirteen years the rate of build up of available N, P and K in different nutrient management practices ranged from 5.2 to 16.9, 0.33 to 0.80, and 1.96 to 7.03 ha-1 yr-1, respectively. Addition of FYM and poultry litter with NPK increased 28.7 and 25.9 per cent in grain yield and 50.3 and 49.4 per cent in straw yield, respectively as compared to NPK alone.Keywords

The effect of land use on soil physico-chemical properties were studied in four villages, viz., Nongstoin, Kynshi, Umyiap and Maweit in West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, under four land uses, viz., paddy, potato, forest and jhum land, in each village. The soils of the study area were acidic in reaction, high in organic carbon and low to medium in cation exchange capacity. Bulk density and particle density were lower in surface soils as compared to sub-surface soils except in some locations. The water holding capacity was greatly influenced by mechanical composition and organic matter content in soils. The mean weight diameter and per cent aggregation showed similar trend and were significantly correlated. Hydraulic conductivity under potato and jhum land uses was higher than paddy and forest land uses.Keywords

The effect of land use on soil erodibility parameters were studied in four villages, viz., Nongstoin, Kynshi, Umyiap and Maweit in West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, under four land uses, viz., lowland paddy, potato, forest and Jhum land, in each village. The textural class of the soils varied from silt loam to clay with dominance of clay loam texture. Dispersion ratio and erosion index were recorded to be usually higher than the threshold limits. A highly significant and negative relationship of erosion index with clay, silt + clay and highly significant and positive relationship with sand and dispersion ratio were observed. The increase in erosion index with increase in dispersion ratio indicated the susceptibility of these soils to water erosion. Proper soil and water conservation measures need to be adopted to protect the soils from further degradation.Keywords

A long-term field experiment was started in 2001 on newly constructed bench terraces at the Department of Soil and Water Conservation in the experimental farm of School of Agricultural Science and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University (NU), Medziphema, Nagaland to study the long term effects of various nutrients management practices on performance of upland rice and fertility of terraced land under rainfed condition. Twelve treatments involving N, P and K (NPK) fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM), poultry litter, forest litter, Azospirillum and Zn either alone or in combinations were applied continuously for twelve years to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on available N, P and K content and performance of upland rice in a terraced land. The available N and K content increased significantly in all the treatments whereas, available P content increased significantly in all the treatments except Forest litter burned+ ½ FYM over control. The highest accumulation of available N, P and K was found in NPK+ Poultry litter, NPK+ FYM and ½N+ PK+ ½N Forest litter treatments, respectively. The rate of build up of available N, P and K in different nutrient management practices varied from 3.57 to 22.5, 0.19 to 1.09 and 3.35 to 13.3 kg ha-1 yr-1, respectively. Maximum plant height was recorded in NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatment. The number of productive tillers per plant was also highest in NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatment. The highest straw yield was recorded in NPK+ FYM followed by NPK+ Poultry litter treatment. The highest grain yield was recorded in NPK+ FYM+ Zn followed by NPK+ Poultry litter treatment. Compared with NPK, grain yield in NPK+ FYM+ Zn, NPK+ Poultry litter and NPK+ FYM treatments increased significantly and were 38.1, 34.43 and 32.6 per cent higher, respectively. Among different nutrient management practices, NPK+ FYM+ Zn proved to be the best practices followed by NPK+ Poultry litter and can suitably be recommended for use not only to build up available N, P and K levels but also to produce higher grain yield in terraced land under upland rice cultivation.Keywords

An experiment was conducted in the experimental farm at School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Medziphema, Nagaland to find out the impact of continuous fourteen years integrated nutrient management practices on forms of soil N and P on terraced land. Twelve treatments involving N, P and K fertilizers, farmyard manure, poultry litter, forest litter, Azospirillum and Zn either alone or in combinations were applied continuously for fourteen years. The highest NH4-N content was recorded in NPK+ FYM+ Zn followed by NPK+ FYM treatment, whereas the highest NO3-N content was in NPK followed by NPK+ FYM and NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatments. After fourteen years, the rate of build up of available N in different nutrient management practices was 0.5 to 10.3 kg N ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 5.8 kg N ha-1 yr-1 whereas, the rate of build up of total N in various nutrient management practices was 1 2.8 to 16.1 kg N ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 11.2 kg N ha-1 yr-1. The significant increase in organic N in NPK+ FYM, NPK+ poultry litter and NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatments over NPK was 5.7, 5.0 and 5.4 per cent, respectively. The inorganic P in NPK+ poultry litter, NPK+ FYM+ Zn and NPK+ FYM was 5.8, 3.8 and 2.2 per cent higher as compared to NPK, respectively. The rate of build up of available P in different treatments was 0.01 to 0.76 kg P ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 0.49 kg P ha-1 yr-1. On an average, solution P, inorganic P, available P and organic P represented 0.3, 40.6, 3.3 and 59.6 per cent of total P.Keywords

The effect of integrated nutrient management practices on some important soil properties on terraced land under continuous cultivation after a decade were studied in a field experiment conducted on the experimental farm of the School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development under rainfed conditions. Twelve treatments involving N, P and K (NPK) fertilizers, FYM, poultry litter, forest litter incorporated and burned, Azospirillum and Zn either alone or in combinations were applied for 10 years and rice crop cultivated continuously. The organic C content, available K, WHC and per cent aggregation increased significantly in all the treatments whereas, CEC and MWD increased significantly in all the treatments except ½ N+ PK and forest litter burned+ ½ FYM over control. The rate of build up of available N, P and K in various nutrient management practices was estimated to be 0.97 to 24.46 kg N ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 13.51 kg N ha-1 yr-1, 0.07 to 1.60 kg P ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 0.75 kg P ha-1 yr-1 and 2.4 to 8.2 kg K ha-1 yr-1 with an average of 4.7 kg K ha-1 yr-1, respectively. Addition of FYM, poultry litter and forest litter with NPK increased 8.4, 16.7 and 7.6 per cent in aggregates >0.25 mm, respectively as compared to NPK alone.Keywords

Land use effect on soil erodibility parameters were studied in four villages, viz., Tsiesema, Riisoma, Chiephobozou and Botsa in Kohima district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., orchard, shifting cultivation, lowland and forest in each village. The mean textural classes of the soils were clay, clay loam and sandy clay loam. Dispersion ratio and erosion index were recorded to be usually higher than the threshold limits. Dispersion ratio of the soils ranged from 8.16 to 30.53 whereas, erosion index varied between 5.28 and 23.91. A significant negative correlation of clay with dispersion ratio and erosion index was observed. The highly significant and positive correlation between erosion index and dispersion ratio indicated the susceptibility of these soils to water erosion. Proper agronomic and mechanical soil and water conservation measures need to be adopted to protect the soils from further degradation.Keywords

The effect of land use on soil physico-chemical properties were studied from five land uses, viz., banana orchard, bench terrace, contour terrace, forest north-facing and forest south-facing of experimental farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Medziphema Campus, Nagaland University during 2014-15. The soils of the study area were acidic in reaction, varied from 4.33 to 5.00, high in organic carbon and low to medium in cation exchange capacity. Bulk density in banana orchard and forest north-facing was 8.1 per cent higher than contour terrace. Lowest particle density was found in contour terrace. The water holding capacity in forest north-facing was significantly higher over all other land uses and was influenced by mechanical composition and organic matter content in soils.Keywords

Land use effect on soil physico-chemical properties were studied in four villages, viz., Tamlu village, Tamlu town, Kangching and Namsang in Longleng district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., Jhum, lowland rice, forest and orange in each village. The soils were characterised by strong to moderate acidic in soil reaction (4.3 to 6.7), high in organic carbon content. The mean cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged between 13.78 to 31.68 c mol (p+) kg-1. The mean bulk density and particle density ranged from 1.18 to 1.51 g cm-3 and 2.2 to 2.34 g cm-3, respectively which generally increased with profile depth and were influenced by organic carbon content and mechanical composition of soils. Water holding capacity (WHC) varied from 40.20 to 54.20 per cent and was higher in the soils under cultivated lowland rice land use as compared to other land uses. The maximum per cent aggregates (WSA>0.25 mm) and mean weight diameter in surface soils was found under Jhum land use. The bulk density, particle density, WHC and mean weight diameter had significant correlation with organic C.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of simulated erosion and the impact of organic manures on soil physico-chemical properties. The experiment was conducted in split- plot design which comprised of three levels of simulated erosion depths viz., 0, 5 and 10 cm used as the main plot. Organic manures (vermicompost, poultry manure and pig manure @ 5, 3 and 3 t-1 ha, respectively) were used as the sub plot treatment. There was a significant effect on the physico-chemical properties of soil due to erosion. The available nitrogen decreased at a rate of 2.86 and 7.81 per cent; available P decreased at a rate of 9.09 and 17.18 per cent; available K decreased at a rate of 9.52 and 15.12 per cent; organic carbon decreased at a rate of 0.07 and 0.15 per cent; CEC decreased at a rate of 2.81 and 5.48 per cent; water holding capacity decreased at the rate of 4.07 and 7.29 per cent while bulk density increased at a rate of 3.49 and 9.30 per cent and soil pH decreased at a rate of 4.12 and 7.20 per cent, respectively with subsequent removal of 5 and 10 cm topsoil as compared to control. Addition of organic manures improved the soil properties but could not entirely compensate the loss due to simulated erosion.Keywords
