Soil Carbon Stock Under Different Land Uses of Southern Agroclimatic Zone of Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract: AbstractSoil organic carbon (SOC) has long been identified as a factor that is important to soil fertility as well as to the environment because of huge carbon sequestration potential of soils. Estimating C pools under existing land uses provides baseline data to project C sequestration over time. The present study was undertaken to estimate the SOC stock in dominant soil series under different land uses of Southern Agroclimatic zone of …

Role of Phosphocompost in Comparison with Other Inorganic Fertilizers on Soil Aggregation
Abstract: AbstractPhosphocompost, phosphorus-enriched organic manure, generally improves the crop yield and maintains soil quality by improving various physical properties of the soils including soil aggregation. Sixteen different combinations of treatments including different doses of phosphocompost, inorganic fertilizers and other nutrients etc. were applied to study the effect of phosphocompost on soil aggregation and comparative evaluation among themselves. Soil aggregation was much higher in the soils treated with phosphocompost and simple compost …

Efficacy of Dill, Teak and Arjun Extract Against Sheath Blight of Rice Caused by Rhizoctonia solani
Abstract: AbstractSince many decades practices have been followed to manage sheath blight disease of rice through use of synthetic fungicides mostly due to nonavailability of suitable and effective substitute. The present research was aimed to identify the potentiality or efficacy of natural fungicides obtained from selected plants as an ecofriendly alternative in the management of the disease. In the presented experiment, three plant extracts that is, Teak (Terminalia arjuna Roxb.)-chloroform, Dill …

Integrated Effect of Bioagents along with FYM on Pokkah Boeng Disease of Sugarcane
Abstract: AbstractSugarcane production in various regions of the country is affected by different biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the biotic constraints, there are many diseases such as red rot, wilt, grassy shoot, pineapple disease, smut, leaf scald and pokkah boeng disease. Amongst the foliar diseases, the pokkah boeng disease is becoming a major disease of sugarcane. Pokkah boeng is frequently associated with sett rot or stem rot disease as both are …
