Therefore, a comprehensive field trial was carried out to evaluate the potential of biostimulants in growth promotion across four districts of Maharashtra (Jalna, Ahmednagar, Aurangabad and Nasik). The study aimed to evaluate the candidacy of selected biostimulants in improving onion (Allium cepa L.) extracted from proprietary technology involving adaptive molecular re-engineering for plant growth biostimulants category. Three biostimulants were preliminary analyzed for their nutritional content. Compositional analysis revealed the presence of several macro, micronutrients as well as humic, fulvic acid. The concentration of humic and fulvic acid in sediment extract were ranged from 34-38 and 10.5-10.8 g/100g respectively. The organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, and ash contents ranged between 54-57,0.4-0.6, 0.3-0.4, and 3.3-7.2% respectively. Ash and total nitrogen content were the same for the extract 0.2% and 7.8% respectively. Onion crops were treated in three different modes, seed treatment, root drenching and foliar spray. Biostimulants were applied in combination with three different levels of chemical fertilizer 50%, 75%, and 100% RDF and compared with Control (100%RDF without biostimulants). Several qualitative and quantitative parameters such as firmness, pungency, neck diameter, bulb diameter, and yield were analysed. \u0000It was observed that all three biostimulants (Asaava, Somrith, and Yuvaani) significantly(P<0.001) affected all the measured plant traits. In addition to this, overall, we found excess chemical fertilizer imposed adverse effect on plant growth parameters. Moreover, it was concluded that with seed treatment followed by root drenching and foliar spray and optimized dosage scheduling, yield can be further improved. The best effect in overall growth and yield potential of the plants were noticed in Asaava treated plants.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121762122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, gardeners frequently use nonspecific plant population densities for various cultivars, resulting in sub-optimal bulb yields. \u0000Materials and Methods: A field experiment was conducted in 2019 from August to December to study the effects of intra-row plant spacing and levels of nitrogen on yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) variety Nafis under irrigation. \u0000Results: The main effect of intra-row spacing on stand count and both nitrogen levels and intra-row spacing on plant height and the number of leaves per plant was observed. The interaction of nitrogen level and intra-row distance affected days to maturity, leaf length, leaf diameter, bulb diameter, mean bulb weight, marketable and unmarketable bulb yield, and all bulb size categories.

The experiment was a 2 x 3 factorial laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) replicated 10 times. A. flavus was isolated from naturally infected tiger nuts obtained from different sellers at Delta Park, Abuja Park and Choba campus, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The isolation and sub-culturing were done using Malt Extract Agar (MEA). A tiger nut-based-medium (15ml/Plate) was centrally inoculated with 6-day-old inoculums of A. flavus and incubated appropriately. Assessment of fungal growth was done daily for 10 days and mycelia diameter and mycelia growth rate obtained from the data. Result from the statistical analysis showed that the effect of light regime and temperature on the mycelia diameter of A. flavus was highly significant (P<0.001) and the interaction between light regime and temperature was also significant (P<0.0.01). Growth rate also showed significant (P<0.001) main effect of temperature and light regime and the light regimes x temperature was also significant (P=0.03). The highest mycelia growth rate and mycelia diameter occurred in continuous day light, followed by continuous darkness and finally alternating day light and darkness, with all higher at 30oC. Thus, storage of tiger nut under continuous day light and/or at temperature 28oC and above should be discouraged, in order to reduce microbial spoilage caused by Aspergillus flavus.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115870183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
