Influence of Agricultural Lime in Alleviating Acidity Level of Various Acid Soils


Authored by Dipendra Chaudhari



Influence of agricultural lime in acidity level, macro-nutrients (P&K) mineralization and plant growth in various acid soils were investigated inside glass house in French bean (Phaseolus vulgare). The experiment underwent from 24th July to 8th October 2017. Liming of five different acid soils (Pine Forest Soil, Black Soil, Red Soil, Swampy Soil and Cultivated Soil) were done as per the doses recommended by SMP buffer method. Plant height was measured, and the soil was sampled to 15 to 25cm depth, initially and then at interval of 15 days till 75th day of treatment application. The experiment was carried under Completely Randomized design (CRD). Data of soil parameters (soil pH, P & K availability) and plant parameter (plant height) at different times were critically analyzed for significance test at 5% level of significance. Desirable pH range for crop cultivation was achieved after 30 days, however desirable soil pH range was only achieved after 45-60 days of lime application. Most significant increase in pH of Red soil was observed after 15 days of treatment application (from pH 4.9 to 6.2) and gradually increased up to 7.3 in 75 days, highest among all other soils. mineralization of soil K in swampy soil was statistically significant and superior among all types of soil/treatment considered for study followed by black soil cultivated soil as most superior in terms of P-mineralization for all cases followed by black soil French bean seemed much responsive to Normally Cultivated Soil while the least responsive to Pine Forest Soil.

Growth Response of Heterobranchus Longifilis Fingerlings Fed Diets Supplemented with Moringa Oleifera Leaf Meal as Replacement of Soybean Meal Authored by Ibiyo Lenient MO Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of the world‘s animal production with an annual increase of about 10% [1]. To sustain such high rates of increase in production, a matching increase in fish feed production is imperative. Because fish meal is a limited primary source and plants are widely available and reasonably priced, the use of plant protein sources in aqua feeds should be considered [2]. Therefore, in order to attain more economically sustainable, environmentally friendly and viable production, research interest has been directed towards the evaluation and use of non-conventional sources of plant and animal protein. Soybean meal is one of the most nutritious of all plant protein sources because of its high protein content, high digestibility, and relatively well-balanced ami no acid profile [3]. Owing t...
