Yield and qualitative evaluation of fodder maize (Zea mays L.) under potassium and zinc based integrated nutrient management

Indian Journal of Animal Nutrition (2020)

Baljeet Sanjeev Kumar Magan Singh Babu Lal Meena Vikas Kumar Meena

Nutritional deficiency, including that potassium and zinc, is one of the critical factors that hinder the quality fodder production in India, which can only be solved with integrated nutrient management approach. This experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2019 to find out the effect of potassium, zinc, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and farmyard manure (FYM) application to the quality aspect of fodder maize. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine treatments with standard (100%) and reduced (75%) rate of the recommended dose of potassium (RDK) along with inclusion and exclusion of zinc foliar spray, PGPR and FYM. The experiment results revealed that application of 100 % RDK+PGPR+ YM (5 t ha−1) + two-time spray of 0.5% Zn resulted in higher green fodder yield (t ha−1), dry fodder yield (t ha−1), dry matter and ash content, increased crude protein (CP) content and yield with a concomitant decrease in fibre fractions over other treatments and control. The conclusion from the experiment can be drawn that the combined application of potassium, zinc, PGPR and FYM can result in quality production of fodder maize.

Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc on growth, yield and economics of teosinte (Zea mexicana) fodder

Indian Journal of Agronomy (2014)

S Venkata Mohan Magan Singh

A field experiment was conducted at Karnal during rainy season of 2012 to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc on growth, yield and economics of teosinte (Zea mexicana L.) fodder. Plant height, plant girth, number of leaves, leaf area index, number of tillers and branches increased with increase in levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc. Green and dry fodder yield and gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio increased significantly upto 160 kg N/ha, 40 kg P2O5/ha and 30 kg Zinc sulphate/ha. The treatment combination of N160 kg/ha, P2O5 40kg/ha and Zinc sulphate 30 kg/ha estimated as advantageous for production of teosinte fodder.

Sangeeta Gupta Magan Singh

The genus Terminalia L. is of great forestry and economic importance, as it includes a number of valuable timbers, gum and tannin yielding species. It comprises of 250 species distributed throughout the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. In India, the genus is represented by 18 species. In this paper a detailed microscopic wood anatomical survey of the 15 species of this genus is presented based on the standard list of features given by International association of Wood Anatomists (lAWA). Numeric key based on IAWA features and species identification key has been developed based on the study. Photomicrographs have been added of microstructure and ultra structure features as seen under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Remarks on systematic positions of species have been presented specially with regards to T. tomentosa and T. chebula group.

Impact of Jharkhand State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation on Socio economic Status of Dairy Farmers

Indian Journal of Extension Education (2022)

Kalyan Mandi Ritu Chakravarty K. Ponnusamy K. S. Kadian A. K. Dixit

The paper assesses the impact of membership of dairy cooperative i.e. Jharkhand State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation (JMF) on the performance of dairy production systems using propensity score matching techniques. Dairy cooperative members differed significantly from non-members in terms of outcome variables. The mean difference value explained that the socio-economic condition of members was better than non-members. The findings revealed that membership of JMF contributes towards improving yields of dairy animals, net dairy income, and also, to household milk consumption. The non-members reaped better price for the milk in the wet market as compared to the members. Nonetheless,the member-producers recorded higher proportion of milk sale as compared to the non-members which also indicated their intensity of market participation. These results indicatetowards the need to improve dairy farmers’ linkages through cooperatives or other such institutions for their socio-economic development.

ENERGY CROPS FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Brijesh Kumar Magan Singh Sandeep Kumar Rakesh Kumar Birendra Kumar

Biofuels (biodiesel and bioethanol) produced from various biobased sources have recently attracted a lot of attention because of their potential to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions while lowering the growing reliance of the globe on fossil fuels. The goal might be to provide biomass-based alternative fuel that is both readily available and economically viable in order to meet both national goals for biofuel blending and the energy deficit. Currently, maize, sugarcane, molasses, wheat, and other grains crops, cassava, sugar beets, palm, soybean, rapeseed, etc. are used for biofuel production. Recent consideration has been given to lignocellulosic biomass as another potential feedstock because of its non-food competition and abundant supply. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to ferment the sugars found in sugar cane and sugar beets as well as those obtained from the starch in corn and other cereals in order to economically produce ethanol from a range of feedstocks. The additional bio-resources, in addition to cellulosic biomass being the ideal substitute for producing bioethanol and non-edible oil containing biomaterials for producing biodiesel for vehicle traffic, might make the energy sector sustainable. The production of biofuels from energy crops is essential to the growth of the global economy and the slowing of climate change. The CO2 released during the combustion of biomass is absorbed by plants to grow. Because the quantity of CO2 emitted during usage has already been fixed during plant growth, no net CO2 is produced when agricultural biomass is used to generate energy

Effect of Phosphorus and Zinc Application on Nutritional Characteristics of Fodder Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

Indian Journal of Animal Nutrition (2015)

Deepak Kumar Rathore Rakesh Kumar Magan Singh Parveen Kumar Nitin Tyagi

An experiment consisting of four phosphorus levels (0, 40, 60 and 80 kg/ha P2O5) and five zinc levels (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg/ha ZnSO4) was laid out in factorial randomized block design to find out the effect on yield and nutritive value of fodder cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). Application of 60 kg/ha phosphorus recorded 27.64 t/ha yield which was 7.50 and 55.6% higher than 40 kg/ha and no phosphorus application, respectively. Application of Zn in the form of ZnSO4 @ 20 kg/ha increased (P<0.05) the green fodder yield (25.89 t/ha). The successive increase in P level from 0 to 60 kg P2O5/ha enhanced CP level significantly (P<0.05) from 15.07 to 17.97%. Zinc application also increased CP content from 15.23 to 17.56% with increase in ZnSO4 level from 0 to 20 kg/ha. The content of NDF and ADF were not influenced due to application of Zn and P. The interaction effects of P and Zn were found to be significant (P<0.05) with respect to P and Zn concentration. P and Zn content in cowpea fodder showed declining trend at application rate more than 60 kg/ha P2O5 and 20 kg/ha ZnSO4. Therefore, a combination of 60 kg/ha P2O5 and 20 kg/ha ZnSO4 could be applied to obtain better yield and nutritive value of fodder cowpea.

Productive performance, body condition score and carcass characteristics of Deccani lambs reared under different farming systems

Indian Journal of Animal Research (2018)

S. A. Kochewad T. Raghunandan K. Sarjan Rao N. Nalini Kumari D.B.V. Ramana

The present study was carried out to assess the effect of different farming systems on productive performance, body condition score and carcass characteristics of Deccani lambs. Thirty-six weaned lambs having 3 months of age were divided into three groups with twelve lambs in each group in under intensive (T1), semi-intensive (T2) and extensive (T3) farming systems. The comparative mean dry matter intake (kg/day) and (kg/100kg BW) was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in T1 group when compared to other groups. T2 group had significantly (p less than 0.05) higher DM intake (kg/day) than T3 group. The mean values of Average daily gains in Deccani lambs were significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in T1 group compared to T2 and T3 groups. The feed efficiency was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in T1 compared to T2, T3 groups. Statistically significant difference was found in BCS at six months of age (p less than 0.05) between T1 and T3 groups. BCS at 9, 12 months and overall BCS, there was a significant (p less than 0.05) difference between T1 and T3 groups. T1 group had higher pre-slaughter weight, hot carcass weight, meat %, fat% and meat: bone ratio thanT2 and T3. The dressing yields were comparable. The weights of other offals (heart, kidney, spleen, testicles, blood, head and lung and trachea) were comparable. The findings of this study indicated that the intensive and semi-intensive system of rearing could be useful for mutton production. In extensive system, which is predominant in India should change its facet by enriching the grazing land resources as well by the supplementation of required plane of nutrition during growth and special life stages viz., gestation, puberty, post lambing and finisher stages for achieving optimum productivity.
