...effect of split doses of potash fertilizer on maize and sorghum. Potash fertilizer was applied @ 0, 60 and 120 kgha-1 K2O as single, two split and three split doses at planting, after one month and after two months of planting. The experiment consisted of seven levels (0, 60, 30 + 30, 20 + 20 +20, 120, 60 +60 and 40 + 40 + 40 kgha-1). Grain yield in maize and sorghum showed positive relationship with increase in

... of pruning and doses of potash fertilizer for deep pruning of tea bushes and their subsequent efficient recovery and proper growth. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Mature tea plants (26 year old) of Qi-men variety were deeply pruned (30 cm from the ground level by completely defoliating the bushes) on five different dates i.e., November, December, 2012, January, February and March, 2013 having one month...

...rce includes sulphate of potash (SOP). Potassium (K) was applied to field in such an arrangement that 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 and 0% K was obtained from the organic source and the remaining was balanced form inorganic source for supplying a total K of 80 kg ha-1. Randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement was used. Hybrids were allotted to main plots and K ratios to subplot. Analysis of the data showed that crop phenology, growth, and yield of ma...

...methods for nitrogen and potash at different times was investigated on wheat crop. Wheat was sown as a test crop with six different fertilizer application methods at varying times under RCBD arrangement with three replications. The experimental soil was high in pH, low in fertility status and free from salinity and sodicity hazards. Wheat grains were analyzed for mineral contents. The results revealed that maximum grain yield was obtained from treatment T6 (Ha...

...o K sources, sulphate of potash (SoP), and muriate of potash (MoP), and four different lime content levels (<5, 10, 20 and 30%). The results showed that increasing levels of lime decreased growth parameters viz. shoot height, root length, fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight, fresh root weight, and dry root weight in sunflower seedlings. Similarly, shoot K content was also decreased by 30.44% at increased lime content lev...

...SP), 90 kg/ha muriate of potash (MOP), and watering. The dependent variables were growth and yield parameters of sweet corn. One-way ANOVA was used for analysis, where significant differences between treatments were determined using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) Test (SAS 9.4 software). Results revealed significant differences (p <0.05) in sweet corn that received AE foliar spray in plant height (p = 0.0098), stem diameter (p = 0.0419), leaf area (...
