A field experiment was carried out at the Horticultural Research Farm of the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University during the Rabi season of 2012–2013. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments, replicated thrice and one branch was taken as a unit. Observations were recorded on growth, physical and quality characters of guava. The maximum fruit set percent (67.43) and fruit drop percent (58.71) were recorded maximum with foliar application of zinc sulphate + borax 0.6% and zinc sulphate+copper sulphate + borax 0.5%. Therefore, zinc sulphate + borax 0.6 percent and zinc sulphate + copper sulphate + borax 0.5% may be recommended to guava growers for obtaining better yield and quality during winter season crop of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda under Lucknow conditions.Keywords

The present experiment was carried out on the planting dates and forms of sulphur on chemical characteristics of 'Pusa Red' cultivar of onion (Allium cepa L.) during Rabi season of 2013-14 at three different dates, viz., 15th November 2013, 15th December 2013 and 15th January 2014 and three doses of elemental sulphur and gypsum each 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha at Horticultural Research Farm of the Department of Applied Plant Science, School for Bio science and Biotechnology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The data clearly revealed that higher TSS, ascorbic acid content in bulb were recorded in early planting (15th November with 60 kg/ha and 40 kg/ha), respectively and significantly higher reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and total sugars were obtained with early planting i.e., 15th November with 20 kg/ha of elemental sulphur, while higher content of pyruvic acid was found in late planting (15th January with 60 kg/h of elemental sulphur) of the crop.Keywords

An investigation was carried out to assess the integrated use of inorganic, organic (FYM, pressmud, poultry manure and vermicompost) and bio-fertilizers (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and phosphate solubilizing bacteria) on yield, nutrient uptake byonion and nutrient pool of the soil during Rabi season of the year 2013-14. There was a significant effect of various treatment found on the yield, nutrient uptake and soil nutrient reserve. Maximum yield per hectare were found in 50 per cent recommended NPK + 50 per cent vermicompost while minimum yield was observed in control. Maximum uptake of nitrogen and potassium was obtained in treatment combination 50 per cent recommended NPK + 50 per cent vermicompost whereas maximum uptake of phosphorus was found in treatment combination 50 per cent recommended NPK + 50 per cent pressmud. Among different treatment combination highest nitrogen and potassium reserve in soil was found in treatment combination 50 per cent recommended NPK + 50 per cent vermicompost while maximum value for organic carbon percentage was in sole vermicompost application.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season to find out the effect of organic manures, biofertilizers and micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of onion cv. NHRDF Red - 2. There were 13 treatments viz., T0 (Recommended dose of fertilizers), T1 Poultry manure, T2 vermicompost, T3 Azotobacter, T4 VAM, T5 Azotobacter+RDF (50%)+zinc, T6 Azotobacter+RDF(75%)+zinc, T7 VAM+RDF(50%)+boron, T8 VAM+RDF (75%)+boron, T9 RDF (25%)+VAM+poultry manure (50%)+Azotobacter+boron, T10 (RDF (25%)+VAM+vermicompost (50%)+Azotobacter+boron, T11 RDF (25%)+VAM+poultry manure (50%) Azotobacter+zinc, T12 RDF (25%)+VAM+vermicompost 50% Azotobacter+zinc and the experiment was laid out under RBD with three replications. The study clearly revealed that there were significant effects of various treatments on the growth, yield and quality attributes of onion. The number of leaves per plant (12.15), plant height (73.02cm), neck thickness (22.00mm), bulb length (6.46 cm), bulb diameter (7.20cm), yield (398.36 kg/ha-1) were recorded maximum in treatment T12 whereas T.S.S (14 °B), vitamin C (12.11mg/100g), total sugars (10.52%), reducing sugar (6.23%) and non-reducing sugar (4.28%) were found maximum in T10 treatment as compared to other treatment. However, T12 was good for higher yield improvement and T10 was the best for quality improvement among the all treatments under study, the application of T12 (RDF (25%)+VAM+Vermicompost 50% Azotobacter+Zinc) may be suggested for successful cultivation of onion in Lucknow.Keywords
