Diagnosing Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Crop Plants
Nutrient deficiency occurs when an essential element is not available in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of a growing plant. These nutrient deficiencies are often manifested as visual symptoms on plant parts that help recognize specific nutrient deficiencies. Early detection of a nutritional disorder by recognizing these symptoms can help to prevent major loss of yield by application of the required nutrient through fertilizer sources. >more
 Adopt appropriate nutrient management to improve yield and quality of vegetables
Vegetables have become an integral part of cropping systems in the country. Despite being the second largest producer in the world, the productivity of vegetables in India is quite low . Vegetables have high nutrient demands and adequate supply of all limiting nutrients is required to ensure higher yield and quality of produce. >more
Potassium improves yield and quality of tomato in the red and lateritic soils of West Bengal with low inherent fertility
Considering the role of potassium in yield and quality of tomato, the effect of different levels of potassium on yield and quality of tomato, cv. S-120 were explored in a soil where the inherent potassium content is low. The experimental results clearly showed that application of adequate potassium is essential to improve yield and quality of tomato. This experiment also shows that the current state recommendation of 180:90:90 kg/ha of N:P2O5:K2O for tomato may prove inadequate to sustain and improve yield in the depleted red and lateritic zone of West Bengal. >more

 High potassium fertilization required for good fruit yield
In most fruit crops, a 1:1 ratio of N and K(mango, pineapple, litchi and guava) or a higher K in the ratio (papaya and banana) is necessary for a good harvest. >more
 Nutrient mining in Assam
In Assam, nutrient mining is stripping the soil of its inherent productivity potential. >more
 Balanced Fertilization of Fish Ponds Improves Fish Yield
Results of an on-going PPIC sponsored research project on "Fish pond fertilization in red and lateritic soil zones of West Bengal" shows that proper and adequate plant nutrient fertilization of fish ponds considerably improves yield. >more
