Application of superphosphate increased the organic phosphorus contents. There was the maximum increase in organic phosphorus on the 30th day of decomposition in soils treated with young (60 days old) plants, while this occurred on the 60th day of decomposition in soil treated with mature (75 or 90 days old) plants. The trend of changes was almost similar in S. aculeata and M. alba treated soils.

This species exemplifies the critical role of water in agriculture and the need for efficient irrigation practices due to its characteristics, cultivation requirements, and geographic diffusion. In this study, we investigated the effects of drip irrigation and mulching on the vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality attributes of pomegranate. The experiment involved three irrigation regimes (100% of evapotranspiration, 80%, and 60%) and three mulching treatments (no mulch, plastic mulch, and organic mulch) in a factorial combination. Both irrigation and mulching had significant positive influences on the yield and fruit quality attributes. Specifically, deficit irrigation strategies showed a negative impact on the fruit yield per tree, with a greater effect observed as the severity of the irrigation deficit increased. Mul...

A total of 45 litchi trees were included in this experiment. The treatments consisted of four doses of paclobutrazol at 1.0 g a.i. (20 ml/tree), 2.0 g a.i. (40 ml/tree), 3.0 g a.i. (60 ml/tree), and 4.0 g a.i (80 ml/tree) per meter canopy diameter. The doses were applied on three dates, September 15, October 15, and November 15, through soil drenching in the years 2016 and 2017, subsequently. Plain irrigation water was applied in the basins of trees which served as control. The results show that application of paclobutrazol at 3.0 g and 4.0 g a.i. Per meter canopy diameter during 2016 and 2017 were the most effective in suppressing vegetative growth as compared to control. Higher doses of paclobutrazol p...

It is the fourth most important fruit of India, with an area, production and productivity of 2.360 Mha, 3.198 MT and 13.6 MT/ha, respectively (Anonymous, 2013). It is rich in pectin, vitamin C which is 25 times more than fresh orange juice. The effects of macro and micronutrient deficiencies are visible in terms of stunted growth, low yield, dieback and even may result in plant death. Moreover, foliar application of these nutrients may produce better results. Foliar fertilization of nutrients has advantage of low application rates, uniform distribution of fertilizer materials and quick response to applied nutrients. Application of nutrients through foliage can be from 10 to 20 times more effective than soil application (Zaman and Schumann, 2006). The fruit quality of rainy season guava is poor which can be improved by better...
