Surface and sub-surface soil samples from fourty three locations from maize-gobhi sarson or related oil seed crop representing three agro-climatic zones viz., sub-tropical, intermediate and temperate zones were collected. Besides, a field experiment "Influence of inorganics and organics on soil characteristics and crop yield under rainfed maize-gobhi sarson sequenc...
An experiment was conducted for three Kharif and two intervening Rabi seasons, beginning with Kharif 2006, at WMRC research farm of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Jammu, Chatha, Jammu, to investigate the influence of puddling intensities and organic amendments (nutrient sources) on soil water availability and performance of rice ...
A pot experiment was conductedduring Kharif of 2020,at the Division of Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry to study the effect of differentsoil amendments(biochar and polymer)on soil properties, growth, yield and water productivity of rice (Basmati-370). The experiment was laid out in 2-factorial CRD with three replications comprising two levels of irrigation vi...
A soil survey was conducted at Doda district in the month of April 2016 to assess the various physico-chemical and biological properties of the soil. Composite surface soil samples (185) were collected at a depth of 0-15cm. For microbial analysis rhizosphere fresh soil samples were collected from different land use systems and stored at 4°C in a freezer. The exact ...
The current study “Isolation and characterization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere of french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)” involved isolation, characterization and growth promotion of bacteria showing phosphate solubilizing properties. Soil samples were collected from prominent french bean growing locations of Jammu district i.e., Bishnah (L1...
The present investigation entitled “Long term effect of integrated nutrient management on soil organic carbon and physico-chemical properties of soil in Maize-Mustard crop rotation under rainfed agriculture” was carried out at Dry Land Research Sub-station RakhDhiansar, (SKUAST-J) Jammu. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments rep...
A study was carried out during 2020 to assess the long-term impact of integrated farming system (IFS) on nutrient status and soil organic carbon pools in different allocated land use systems viz crop block, horticulture, fodder block, boundary plantation block and perennial fodder on the dyke of pond under IFS model over the existing farmer’s farming system (crop l...
A study was carried out to assess nutrient status of Kishtwar and Ramban districts located at 32° 53´ to 34°21´N latitude and 75°1´ to 76° 47´E longitude and 33o 14’N to 75o 17’E longitudes and experiences temperate and Subtropical type of climate respectively. Composite surface soil samples from one hundred sixty seven (167) and one hundred fourteen (114) locatio...
