Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the raining seasons of 2016 and 2017 at the Kogi State University Teaching and Research farm to evaluate the effect of cow dung and mineral NPK (15:15:15) on the growth and yield performance of Corchorusolitorius The experiment, a 2*4 Factorial Experiment with four replications consisted of two nutrient sources (Organic and inorganic) as well as four levels of cow dung (0 ton/ha, 2 ton/ha, 4 ton/ha and 6 ton/ha) and four levels of mineral fertilizers NPK 15-15-15 (0 kg/ha, 50 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, and150 kg/ha). The seeds were immersed in hot water at 97 oC for 10 seconds and then allowed to dry overnight before direct seeding on flat top ridges. Generally results obtained showed significant (P≤ 0.05) response of Corchorusolitorius to increasing rates of either cow dung or NPK 15:15:15 for plant height, leaf number, stem girth, number of branches, number of pods, pod weight per plant and total leaf harvest, compared to the control.

Effect of sulphur and zinc fertilization on yield, uptake and nutrient-use efficiency of sesame (Sesamum indicum) || PINKY YADAV1, S.S. YADAV2, KAMAL GARG3, L.R. YADAV4, S.K. YADAV5 AND RAM KRISHNA SHEKHAWAT6 ||A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture Jobner, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during the rainy (kharif) season of 2018, to study the effect of 4 levels of each sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg sulphur/ ha) and zinc (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg zinc sulphate/ha) fertilization on yield, uptake and nutrient-use efficiency of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Results showed that progressive increase in level of sulphur up to 30 kg/ha, being at par with 45 kg, significantly increased the most of the yield-attributing characters of sesame and increased N, P, S and Zn uptake. It also recorded significantly higher seed (712 kg/ha), stover (2345 kg/ha) and biological yield (3056 kg/ha) of sesame over control and 15 kg S/ha. The maximum sulphur-use efficiency was recorded when its level was raised from 0 to 15 kg/ha and various levels of sulphur brought significant effect on zinc-use efficiency. Successive increase in level of zinc sulphate up to 20 kg/ha significantly improved most of the yield-determining characters and N, P, S and Zn uptake by sesame over lower levels and found at par with 30 kg/ha. It also recorded significantly higher seed (725 kg/ha), stover (2307 kg/ha) and biological yields (3032 kg/ha) over the control and 10 kg/ha, and found at par with 30 kg zinc sulphate/ha. Raising the zinc level from 0 to 20 kg/ha and 0 to 10 kg/ha, registered the highest sulphur- and zinc-use efficiency, respectively. Application of 30 kg S/ha in conjunction with zinc sulphate at 20 kg/ha (S30 Zn20), was the most effective treatment combination for obtaining higher seed yield (802 kg/ha), nutrient uptake and net returns (`48,970/ha) in sesame. ||Key words: Nutrient uptake, Nutrient-use efficiency, Sesame, Sulphur, Yield, Zinc.
