The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2013-14 to evaluate the effect of different fertility level and micronutrients on nodulation and nutrient uptake of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to fertility levels and micronutrients. Twelve treatments combinations was comprised with three fertility levels -F1:40 kg P2O5ha-1, F2:60 kg P2O5 + 20 kg S ha-1and F3:80 kg P2O5 + 40 kg S ha-1 and four micronutrient levels- M0: control, M1:3 kg Zn ha-1, M2:0.3 per cent B spray ha-1 and M3:3 kg Zn + 0.3 per cent B spray ha-1 were laid out in Spilt Plot Design. The maximum growth, yield, nodulation and nutrient uptake were recorded with higher level of fertility application F3: 80 kg P2O5 and 40 kg which was significantly superior over lower level of fertility F1 and statistically at par with F2. The minimum response was recorded with the application of lower fertility level F1 with micronutrient application.Keywords

A study was undertaken to characterize the soils of Faizabad district, Uttar Pradesh in order to assess their land capability. The soils were described in the morphology, characteristics. Themorphological properties of soils were studied and later on analyzed in laboratory for their physical and chemical properties. Thickness of Ap horizon was less in pedon number 1(20 cm), pedon number 2 and 3 (22 cm) and pedon number 4 and 5 (25 cm). The solum depth of all the profiles ranged from 85 to 100 cm. The colour of surface soil of pedons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were light gray (10 YR 7/1 and 10YR 7/2) when dry and light yellowish brown (10 YR 6/4) when moist.The soil colour of sub-surface horizons was strong brown (7.5YR 5/6). Surface soil structure of the pedon was fine prismatic while it was fine sub-angular blocky of other pedons. The consistency of surface and sub-surface soils varied from slightly hard to very hard, friable to extremely firm.It was non-sticky, non-plastic to sticky, plastic in dry, moist and wet conditions, respectively in all the pedons.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Station, Masodha under Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad, (U.P.) during Kharif season 2008-2009 to evaluate the productivity and quality of aromatic/basmati rice variety under different nutrient parameters which included the application of nutrients through only chemical fertilizer, only organic source and combination of organic manure and fertilizer, besides the foliar spray of a plant growth retardant (Cycocel) in combination with inorganic fertilizer to reduce plant height. An improved basmati variety vasumathi, a traditional culture, tarori basmati and local non-basmati aromatic rice, Kalanamak were included as a test variety. A significant response of different nutrient resources @ 100:50:50 kg NPK ha-1 on rice production and their quality was observed. Use of inorganic fertilizer with cycocel produced maximum grain (3.77 t ha-1) and straw (5.93 t ha-1) yield followed by inorganic fertilizer alone treatment which recorded 3.68 grain and 5.32 straw yield t ha-1. Organic sources applied alone produced minimum grain (3.31 t ha-1) and straw (4.94 t ha-1) whereas integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizer treatment significantly improved grain (3.60 t ha-1) and straw (5.03 t ha-1) over organic treatment alone. Among varieties, the improved basmati (Vasumathi) recorded higher grain (3.76 t ha-1) and straw (4.62 t ha-1) yield than traditional tarori basmati which recorded 2.30 t grain/ha and 4.04 t straw/ha. Whereas maximum grain (4.01 t ha-1) and straw (5.18 t ha-1) yield was produced by non-basmati aromatic variety Kalanamak. The influence of nutrients sources on grain quality was significant for kernel dimensions, amylase content and gell consistency. Organic sources in general, were superior to fertilizers in improving grain and the quality parameters and recorded maximum hilling (78.6%), millimg (67.79%), KL (6.74mm), KB (1.84mm), amylase content 26 per cent and gell consistency (61.6 mm). Among varieties, improved basmati (Vasumathi) recorded maximum hilling (79.5%) and milling (68.6%) fallowed by Kalanamak which recorded 78.2 per cent hulling and 67.6 per cent milling. The minimum grain quality parameters were recorded by traditional tarori basmati grown in Inceptisol of Eastern U.P.Keywords

Periphyton is an entire community of organisms and its productivity is quite significant in relation to total primary production, which is often equal to or exceeding as biomass (ash free dry weight) in terms of phytopigment content (chlorophyll-a) to assess water pollution. Productivity is caused by increased nutrient enrichment due to sewage and agro-industries. Periphyton is useful as biological indicator of water pollution. Several biotic and abiotic environmental factors are affected due to periphyton growth. Its growth depends upon some factors such as temperature, light, pH, DO and nutrients (N and P). Productivity is often limited by nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability as periphyton use N compounds and phosphorus for their growth. Chlorophyll-a alone is an inadequate predictor of the relative contribution of different algal communities to the total primary production. Periphyton production is associated with various factors and can be evaluated by physico-chemical, chlorophyll and biomass estimation and causes several deleterious effects to water quality.Keywords
