Abstract:

This paper reports the design, fabrication and testing of a low-cost PVC-based manual fertiliser applicator (MFA) for the placement of granular and powdery fertilisers (organic and inorganic) at a required soil depth and plant spacing. The MFA consists of a spring-loaded trigger mechanism, a connecting tube and a knapsack plastic tank for the fertiliser storage, holding between 8.0–12.0 kg of fertiliser depending on the fertiliser's characteristics. The MFA was tested using four common fertilisers (NPK, SSP, Urea and organic manure) at different fertiliser moisture contents (3, 4, 5 and 6% w.b

Abstract:

This article examines total fertiliser use in India as well as the distribution of fertiliser subsidies granted by the Indian government to its farmers. The paper primarily studies the consumption of fertilisers (NPK) from 1950-51 to 2020-21. However, the information related to the distribution of fertiliser subsidies covers the period from 1980–1981 to 2021–2022. The author further went on to analyze the fertilizer subsidy distribution concerning the agricultural GDP and the overall GDP figures of the nation to get an idea of the effectiveness of investment on the fertilizer subsidies in Indi

Abstract:

Application of Mg fertilisers has been suggested as a means of reducing the incidence of Mg deficiency of forest trees in New Zealand and Europe. The objective of this study was to determine the rates of dissolution of a range of Mg fertilisers applied to a pumice soil (Typic Udivitrand). The rate of fertiliser dissolution was little influenced by whether the fertiliser was applied directly on to the soil surface (litter removed) or on to the litter layer in a Pinus radiata plantation. Twenty-seven months since fertiliser application the mean (with and without litter) percentage of Mg dissolve

AbstractPasture-based livestock agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O). Although a body of research is available on the effect of urine patch N or fertiliser N on N2O emissions, limited data is available on the effect of fertiliser N applied to patches of urinary N, which can cover up to a fifth of the yearly grazed area. This study investigated whether the sum of N2O emissions from urine and a range of N fertilisers, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) or urea ± urease inhibitor ± nitrification inhibitor, applied alone (disaggregated and re-aggregated) approximat

Abstract:

Fluoride (F) is an impurity in phosphatic fertilisers and significant amounts of F will be added to soils with long-term application of phosphatic fertiliser to soil. There is a risk that F concentrations in soil may increase to levels toxic to plants or grazing animals. If F added to soil remains in the upper soil profile, due to high reactivity with soil, grazing animals could increase their intake of F through inadvertent ingestion of F-enriched soil. This study determined the distribution of F in the soil profile of medium (>8 years) and long-term permanent pastures (>50 years) where

Modern agriculture faces a major challenge in maintaining high productivity while preserving the environment. In recent decades, the use of synthetic chemical fertilisers has become a common practice worldwide to increase crop yields (Sari, 2023). This research aims at analysing the effect of organic fertiliser use on plant and soil quality. This research uses a quantitative method with a field experimental approach. This approach was chosen because it allows researchers to directly measure the effect of organic fertiliser use on soil quality and plants under environmental conditions. From the

Abstract A possible way to increase the operating speed and field capacity of a cultivator-fertiliser is to modify its configuration scheme. According to our hypothesis, placing the fertiliser hopper directly on the tractor frame could reduce the traction resistance of the cultivator-fertiliser and consequently increase its operating speed and field capacity. Validating this hypothesis requires a comparative evaluation of the existing configuration schemes for cultivator-fertilisers. However, there are currently no such comprehensive studies available.

Robusta coffee cultivation in Pagar Alam City has not been carried out optimally because most farmers do not practice precision farming patterns in the use of production inputs to increase coffee plant productivity, including the use of unsubsidised coffee-specific fertilisers.

For this reason, the study aims to: (1) determine farmer perceptions of nutrient content, ease of use and quality of fertiliser, (2) determine the value of farmers’ willingness to pay f

Grass-legume mixtures are commonly cultivated to increase grassland productivity while reducing the need for nitrogen (N) fertiliser. However, little is known about the effect of this increase in productivity on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in grass-legume mixtures. The aim of this study was to investigate interactions between the proportion of legumes in grass-legume mixtures and N-fertiliser addition on productivity and GHG emissions. We tested the h

Therefore, this study describes the impact of different types of nutrients on plant growth. The response of the pak-choi plant growth upon the number of leaves per plant, plant height and leaves diameter were measured.

Sugarcane crops typically have a high fertiliser nitrogen (N) input, with low N recovery efficiencies. Nitrogen is essential to crop productivity, but excess application can have negative environmental consequences.

The objective of this study was to establish which sugarcane crop components should be included in these evaluations given their impact on N mass accumulation and on fertiliser N recovery efficiencies
