Practice Name:

Increasing Soil Fertility

Details

Category	Crop Production
Crop	Banana
Crop Family	Musaceae
Scientific Name	(Musa paradisica)
Vernacular Name	Kela
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Sugar, clarified butter, honey, Cured, milk, water
Details Of Innovation	About 50 g sugar, 100 g clarified butter, 200 g honey, 400 g curd, and 800 g of milk is mixed and churned together. Thereafter, 50 g water is added in this mixture. Fertility of soil increases by spraying this mixture. Similarly resistance power of crop also increases . According to farmers, unnecessary tilling of land is not advisable. Waste like dry leaves fallen sub branches are placed around trunk of tree or plants. Using this technique, each banana (Musa paradisiacal) plant yields on an average a bunch of 30 kg. Use of this practice also increases sweetness and yield of grapes (Vitis vinifera).

PAS 1	"In the present investigation, tomato (Lycopersicumesculentum Mill.) was grown in garden soil amended with increasing concentrations (0%, 1%, 2% and 3%) of composted de-oiled seed cake of Pongamiapinnata (karanj) in order to study the effect on morphological (length of plant, leaves per plant, number of flowers and fruits and fruit yield), chemical and nutritional (moisture, total soluble solids, acidity, Vitamin C, protein, reducing sugars, lycopene and pectin) properties of the tomato. The results revealed that adding composted Pongamia cake to soil has a significant positive influence on yield for 35 days and 60 days of transplant. Substantially, high yields were obtained in soils mixed with 3% composted Pongamia cake. Such effects could not be attributed solely to the chemical and physical properties of the composted de-oiled cake but there must be synergistic effect of karanjin. The application of composted de-oiled cake of Pongamia provides good basal dressing manures in tomato crops. [ShivaniChaturvedi, Vishal Kumar & Santosh Satya (2009) Composting effects of Pongamiapinnata on tomato fertilization, Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, 55:5, 535-546, DOI: 10.1080/03650340802516473 ]" https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340802516473
PAS 2	"Soil application of Pongamia pinnata L. leaf biochar (PLB) (at the rate of 2%PLB + FF or 2%PLB + HF) increased plant yield traits I ncluding stem and root lengths, and fresh and dry weights of aboveand below-ground biomasses of Pisumsativum L. exposed to nutritional stress (p < 0.05). Increases in all studied plant pigments including chlorophylls a, b, and total, and carotenoids and anthocyanin (except lycopene), were also observed (p < 0.05). Therefore, we suggest that the soil addition of PLB increases plant yield traits values in Pisumsativum L.; however, the underlying soil–plant nutrient exchanges should be thoroughly investigated in comparable studies in future.
