    (2016) Anju Singh; VijayaLakshmi, A
    A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of composted coirpith, composted pressmud, farmyard manure and NPK on soil enzyme activities and nutrient status of post harvested soil of clusterbean. The experiment consisting of twelve treatments (T1- Control,T2- Composted coirpith (I2.5t ha ", T3- Composted pressmud (12.51 had ), T4- Farmyard manure (12.5t had), T5- NPK (100%), T6- Composted coirpith (12.5t had ) + 50% NPK, T7- Composted pressmud (I2.51 had ) + 50% NPK, T5- Farmyard manure (12.5t hi') + 50% NPK, T9- Composted coirpith (12.51 ha d) + 25% NPK, Tio- Composted pressmud (12.5t hi') + 25% NPK, T11- Farmyard manure (I2.5t hi') + 25 % NPK. T12- Composted coirpith (6.5t had ) + Composted pressmud (6.5t had ) + Farmyard manure (6.5t hi') was laid in a pot having 7kg soil (per pot) with three replications. Dehydrogenase and the urease enzyme activity of the soil with different treatments used for the productivity of cluster bean was high in all the treatments but the maximum was found in T12 (Composted coirpith (6.5t had) + Composted pressmud (6.5t had ) + Farmyard manure (6.5t hi') followed by T9 (Composted coirpith (12.5t ha"') + 25% NPK) when compared to the control T1. pH of the post harvest soil of cluster bean was maximum in Ts (Farmyard manure (12.5t hi') + 50% NPK), while all other nutrients (electrical conductivity (millimhos cm-'), organic carbon (%), available nitrogen (Kg had ), available phosphorus (Kg hi '), available potassium (Kg had ), sulphur (ppm) and available micronutrients (copper (ppm), zinc (ppm), iron (ppm) and manganese (ppm)) were maximum in T, 2(Composted coirpith (6.51 had ) + Composted pressmud (6.5t had) + Farmyard manure (6.5t had) when compared to the control T, in post harvest soil of cluster bean.

    Effect of Composted Coirpith, Composted Pressmud and Farmyard Manure Application on Soil Enzyme Activities and Leghaemoglobin Content in Nodules of Green Gram
    (2013) Anju Singh
    An experiment was conducted at Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (India) for assessing the effect of composted coirpith, composted pressmud and FYM on leghaemoglobin content in nodules of green gram-and enzymatic activity (dehydrogenase and urease) of the soil sowned green gram (Vigna radiata L.). There was an increase in leghaemoglobin content from 25 to 45 DAS and its goes down gradually upto 55 DAS .The treatmentT12 (composted coirpith + composted pressmud + farmyard manure) showed increased leghaemoglobin content followed by T9 (composted coirpith + NPK) as compared to the control T i . Soil enzymatic activity dehydrogenase and urease activity increase upto 45 DAS and then declined gradually in 55 and 75 DAS. T12 (composted coirpith + composted pressmud + farmyard manure) treatment shows more dehydrogenase and urease activity followed by T9 (composted coirpith + NPK) against the control (T1 ). Hence composted coirpith; composted pressmud and farmyard manure increased the leghaemoglobin content of the nodules of green gram and also the enzymatic activity of the treated soil.

    Effect of Inorganic Fertilizers and Herbal Leaf Extracts on Biochemical Parameters of Black Gram
    (2013) Gayathri, V; Prabha Sherlina, F; Anju Singh
    Green manures play a key role in providing subsequent crops with nutrients, maintaining soil quality, and helping to control weeds and pests . The most important features of a green manure are large dry matter production and high ability to fix nitrogen. Green manure can be used directly or after composting as a nutrient input that will, after decomposition, be taken up by crops to produce biomass and grain. The effectiveness of green manuring as a soil fertility management technology depends on the stage of crop during incorporation, placement (incorporated or surface placement), nutrient ccntent and carbon to nitrogen ratio of material which influences decomposability and mineralization. In the present study, the efficacy of certain organic and inorganic fertilizers on the biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, protein and carbohydrates were analyzed. It was found that the Di ammonium phosphate and leaf extract either singly or in combination showed higher biochemical activity.

    Influence of Different Chemical Fertilizers and Leaf Extracts on Growth and Yield Parameters of Black Gram, Vigna Mungo L
    (2013) Prabha Sherlina; Anju Singh
    Manures enrich the soil and nutrients used by crops. The word "Manure" most often refers to any kind of fertilizers. The benefit of using green manure by organic farmers (and other farmers) is that, it adds organic matter to the soil by releasing important plant nutrients, including nitrogen and helps to increase crop yield. Thus, the use of manures that supply nutrients to the soil is needed for plant growth. An experiment was conducted to study the influence of chemical fertilizers (DAP and superphosphate) and leaf extracts (Ocimum basilicum and Lantana camara) singly and in combination on the germination, growth and yield parameters of black gram (Vigna mungo L.). The effect of chemical fertilizer and leaf extracts on the seed germination of black gram was recorded and higher germination percentage was noticed in T5 (Ocimum basilicum and Lantana camara). The yield parameters also increased when combination of chemical fretilizers and herbal extracts were used.

    Integrated effect of farm yard manure and sugarcane trash on seedling growth of greengram
    (2012) Vijayalakshmi, A; Anju Singh
    Agro-wastes have been used to benefit crop production by improving soil fertility, increasing soil organic matter and reducing the incidence of plant disease. Various combinations of agro-wastes were used in the present studies to analyze the effect of farm yard manure (FYM), sugarcane trash, NPK, ligno-cellulolytic fungi and urea. The sugarcane trash was composted alongwith Pleurotus sajor caju (150 g), Trichoderma (150 g) and 5 kg urea. The seeds of Vigna radiata were soaked at different concentrations of compost extract and farm yard manure (FYM) for 12 and 24 h. The root iength of the greengram seedlings was markedly increased with 10% FYM in 12 and 24 h treatment. The shoot length increased significantly in 25% composted sugarcane trash in treatment 12 and 24 h. The higher numbers of lateral roots were recorded in 10% composted sugarcane trash and 10% FYM. A significant increase in dry and fresh weight of the seedling was noted with 25% FYM and composted sugarcane trash combination.

    Residual Effects of Integrated Nutrient Management With Farmyard Manure, Coirpith and Pressmud Compost on Cluster Bean
    (2013) Anju Singh; VijayaLakshmi, A
    An experiment was conducted on sandy clay loam soil to study the effect of coirpith, pressmud and farmyard manure on the vegetative and yield parameters of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. (taub) var. Pusa Navbahar). On the 25th day a significant increase in root length and shoot length was observed in TI1 (FYM + 25%NPK) treatment. An increase in plant fresh weight was observed in T6 (composted coirpith + 50% NPK), number of nodules in T8 (FYM + 50% NPK), plant dry weight in T12 (composted coirpith + composted pressmud +FYM) treatment. On the 45'h day an increase in root length was observed and shoot length was observed in TI 1 (FYM + 25% NPK) treatment. Number of nodules was increase in T9 (composted coirpith + 25% NPK) and dry weight in T2 (composted coirpith) On the 55th day the root length was increase in T5 (100% NPK) and shoot length, number of nodules, plant fresh weight and plant dry weight in T11 ( FYM + 25% NPK) treatment. An significant increase in number of fruits was observed in T12 (composted coirpith + composted pressmud + FYM). The yield parameters such as weight of pods, pods fresh weight, pods dry weight and length of pods was increased in T11 (FYM + 25% NPK) treatment, number of seed per pod was increased in T6 (composted coirpith + 50% NPK) and weight of seeds per pod was increase in T7 (composted pressmud + 50% NPK) treatment. The use of composted coirpith, composted pressmud and farmyard manure showed increasing trend in respect of biometric and yield parameters.
