Authors | : | Oroka Frank Oke |
ABSTRACT: A field trial was conductedduring the dry season of 2012 in the Research Farm of the Agricultural Education Unit (Department of Vocational Education), Delta State University, Abraka (latitude 50 46'N and longitude 60 5'E) within the humid forest of Southern Nigeria. The trial was aimed at assessing the growth and yield of flutedpumpkin in response to application of liquid organic manures made from water hyacinth and various animal manures.The experiment was a randomized complete block design. Five treatments which were replicated three times were used namely; control (P1), water hyacinth alone (P2), water hyacinth + pig manure (P3) , water hyacinth + cow dung (P4) and water hyacinth + poultry manure (P5). Liquid manures made from mixture of animal manure with water hyacinth significantly increased the vine length, branch number and leaf number, shoot fresh marketable yield and dry weight of pumpkin.

ABSTRACT: Cotton yield is mostly associated with sowing date and also interlinked with yield contributing traits. The main object of present study was to evaluate the effects of sowing dates on cum varietal trial of different cotton genotypes and its interlinked traits, in 2014. During this experiment four different sowing dates were applied, those were (1st April, 20th April, 10th May and 30th May, 2014) against three cotton cultivars (TH-84/99, TH-8/99 and CRIS-134), using a three replicated Randomized Complete Block Design under climatic conditions of Tandojam Sindh Pakistan. The results revealed that cotton sown on 20th April proved to be an optimum sowing date and differences in the values of all the traits between 1st April or 20th April sowing were non-significant (P>0.05). The 1st April sowing date resulted 150 cm plant height, 1.62 monopodial branches, 18.73 sympodial branches, 38.39 productive bolls, 26.80 mm staple length, 112.95 g seed cotton yield plant-1, 34.72% G.O.T. and 2385.82 kg of seed cotton yield ha-1.

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Y. Sunil Kumar || A. K. Patibanda |
ABSTRACT: Among the eight fungicides evaluated in vitro using poisoned food technique at five different concentrations, hexaconazole, tebuconazole+trifloxistrobin, carbendazim and mancozeb recorded 100% inhibition in the growth of S. oryzae at all the five concentrations tested. Isoprothiolone, kasugamycin, tricyclazole and validamycin varied in their inhibitory effect on S. oryzae at different concentrations. Among the six plant extracts tested with five concentrations each, bulb extract of Allium sativum was most effective in inhibiting the growth of S. oryzae (63.4%), while leaf extract of Ocimumbasilicum recorded least inhibition (3.9%). Inhibition in the radial growth of S. oryzae due to extracts of Eucalyptus, Curcuma, Aloe vera and Allium cepa was in between Allium sativum and Ocimumbasilicum. None of the seven isolates of Trichoderma and eight isolates of Pseudomonasfluorescensshowed significant antagonistic effect on the growth of S. oryzae.
