| dc.description.abstract | Field experiment, “Studies on Coffee Effluent waste compost and its effect on growth and yield of Paddy”, was conducted at ZARS, GKVK, Bangalore during kharif 2011. The experiment comprising of eight treatments namely Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) + Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 5 t ha-1, RDF + Coffee effluent waste compost (CEWC) @ 5 t ha-1, RDF + 25% FYM + 75% CEWC, RDF + 50% FYM + 50% CEWC, RDF + 75% FYM + 25% CEWC, FYM @ 5 t ha-1, CEWC @ 5 t ha-1, and RDF 100:50:50 NPK kg ha-1, were laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The results revealed that application of 5 t CEWC with RDF improved soil physical properties such as bulk density (1.38 g/cc), water holding capacity (32.45 %) and also soil chemical properties like soil pH (6.00), Electrical conductivity (0.10 dSm-1), organic carbon (0.58 %), available nitrogen (321.23 kg ha-1), phosphorous (34.23 kg ha-1) and potassium (147.63 kg ha-1). Further the same treatment improved soil urease (225.20 μg NH4 N g-1 soil 2 h-1) and acid phosphatase (28.41 μg PNP g-1 h-1) enzymatic activity. The same treatment recorded significantly higher grain (5.09 t ha-1) and straw yield (6.57 t ha-1) and also higher net returns (Rs 43150 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.76) which was attributed to higher number of productive tillers (29.27 hill-1), total dry matter (105.15 g hill-1), number of grains (74.20 panicle-1) and 1000 grain weight (23.15 g), as compared to other treatments. | en_US |
