ArticleItem Open Access Studies on organic production of guava (Psidium Guajava) Allahabad Safeda(Acta Horticulturae, 2007) R.A.Ram; Bhriguvanshi, S.R.; Pathak, R.K.Experiments were laid out on 3 yrs-old plant of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda and maximum fruit number and yield (92 & 13.69 kgtree-1 and 283 & 40.11 kgtree-1) were recorded consistently for 2 years in the trees, applied with 20kg FYM and inoculated with Azotobacter. Fruit quality parameters TSS (14.13° Brix) and vitamin C (242.40mg100g-1 fruit) were improved with application of 20kg FYM + BD-500. Leaf nutrients, N, P, K, Ca, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe levels were found optimum with the application of different organic treatments. Improvement in microbial property of the soil was also improved after the application of different organic treatments. Bacterial count was maximum (5.1x106 cfu g-1soil) in rhizosphere soil with application of 20 kg FYM + ceilrich while yeast and mould was better (1.2x104 ) with FYM 20kg+BD-500.ArticleItem Open Access Response of on farm produced organic input on soil, plant nutrient status, yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava) cv Allahabad Safeda(ICAR, New Delhi, 2014-08) R.A.Ram; Singha, Atul; Bhriguvanshi, S.R.A field experiment was conducted during 2008-09 to compare the efficacy of different organic inputs in the production of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv Allahabad Safeda. The highest number of fruits (363/tree) and yield (41.45 kg/tree) was recorded by application of 250 g rhizospheric soil of Ficus bengalensis + 5% Amritpani + organic mulching followed by 328 fruits/tree and yield of 31.76 kg/tree by biodynamic compost (30 kg/tree). Maximum TSS (11.7 °Brix) in fruits was recorded through application of biodynamic compost fortified with BD-500 (30 kg/tree) and cow pat pit (100 g/tree) followed by 11.3 °Brix with of vermicompost (30 kg/tree) + Azospirillum culture (250 g/ tree) + PSB (50 g/tree). The treatments did not affect acidity, ascorbic acid and reducing sugars significantly. Microbial analysis of different organic inputs indicated that cow pat pit contained maximum load of Azotobacter sp (1.5 × 106 cfu/g) and Azospirillum sp (1.3 × 106 cfu/g). Rhizospheric soils of Ficus bengalensis contained maximum number (1.5 × 105 cfu/g) of Azotobacter and (1.4 × 107 cfu/g) Azospirillum as compared to mango (2 × 104 cfu/g and 1.2 × 104 cfu/g, respectively). After two years of experimentation, maximum organic carbon (0.818%) was recorded in the basin soil of treatment biodynamic compost fortified with BD-500 (30 kg/tree) and cow pat pit (100 g/tree). On the other hand, highest build of available P (67.6 ppm) was maximum with application of biodynamic compost @ 30 kg/ tree, while available K (384 ppm), Zn (14.12 ppm), Cu (11.20 ppm) and Fe (15.7 ppm) were maximum with application of biodynamic compost fortified with BD-500 (30 kg/tree) and cow pat pit (100 g/tree), compared to initial soil nutrient status. Improvement in leaf nutrient status was also noticed and maximum leaf N (1.68%), P (0.244%), K (1.74%), Ca (1.49%), Zn (33.8 ppm) with application of rhizospheric soil of Ficus bengalensis @ 250 g/tree + 5% Amritpani + organic mulching, Mg (0.63%); with vermicompost (30 kg/tree) + Azospirillum culture (250 g/tree) + PSB (50 g/tree), Cu (78.7 ppm) and Mn (195.1 ppm) were recorded with FYM (30 kg/tree as compared to control (1.21%, 0.212%, 1.23%, 1.33%, 0.21 ppm, 27.5 ppm, 46.4 ppm and 167.6 ppm, respectively).JournalItem Open Access Effect of controlled-release fertilizers on growth, yield and fruit quality of guava cv. sardar in Ustochrepts(ICAR, DKMA, NEW DELHI, 1999) R.A.Ram; Rajput, M.S.; Bhriguvanshi, S.R.ArticleItem Open Access critical review of indigenous technologies for organic farming in in horticultural crops(Organic farming news letter, 2010-06) Pathak, R.K.; R.A.Ram; Garg, N.; Kishun, R.; Bhriguvanshi, S.R.; Sharma, S.
