Abstract

This experiment was conducted to assess the effect of Trichoderma harzianum, soil solarization, and biofumigant on southern blight dis-ease of carrot incited by Sclerotium rolfsii isolate CS 5. A series of in-vitro and in-vivo trials laid out to select a virulent isolate of S. rolfsii against the carrot variety New Kuroda and evaluated the mustard, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli leaf extracts for choosing an effec-tive biofumigant against test pathogen. Mustard was the most effec-tive in inhibiting the radial growth, and sclerotia formation (80.37 and 83.37%) of S. rolfsii (isolate CS 5) at 40% level of concentration followed by cabbage leaf extract (62.22 and 68.69%). On the contrary, a total of 10 isolates of T. harzianum were screened against the test pathogen on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium for choosing a dominant isolate of T. harzianum. The isolate Th-6 was found as the most active in inhibiting the radial growth (84.44%) of S. rolfsii fol-lowed by Th-1 (75.56%). In the application of T. harzianum, biofumi-gation, and soil solarization, the treatment appeared to be the most superior in reducing pre- and post-emergence mortality of carrot during secondary field trials. The lowest southern blight disease inci-dence (10.77%), and disease severity (12.78%) were found at the same treatment. Subsequently, the yield of carrot was increased 155.18% which might be due to the reduction of carrot disease as well as the addition of organic materials in the soil.

Abstract

To boost phosphorus (P) availability in soils, adding organic matter like compost, manure, or vermicompost (VC) is a sustainable solution. A field experiment investigated how VC and phosphatic fertilizers affect P bioavailability, plant uptake, and yield response of BARI Soybean-5. Eight treatments i.e., T1 = control (no P), T2 = 100% recommended dose of P (RDP) from triple superphosphate (TSP), T3 = 100% RDP from diammonium phosphate (DAP), T4 = 100% RDP from VC, T5 = 75% RDP from TSP + 25% from VC, T6 = 75% RDP from DAP + 25% from VC, T7 = 50% RDP from TSP + 50% from VC, and T8 = 50% RDP from DAP + 50% from VC were replicated thrice on randomized complete block design (RCBD). T2 treatment generated a maximum seed yield of soybean (1.66 t ha-1), exceeding T3, T5, T6, T7, and T8 treatments with 1.63, 1.54, 1.52, 1.50, and 1.50 t ha-1, respectively. Also, T2 performed the highest P contents in seed, root, and straw (1.27, 0.19, and 0.41%, respectively) and total uptake of P (28.15 kg ha-1) among the treatments. T4 exhibited significantly higher levels of organic C, total N, available P, exchangeable K, and available S. Overall findings revealed that growing BARI Soybean-5 with 100% RDP from TSP (T2) proved a good practice for yield response, but 100% RDP from VC (T4) would be preferable for long-term soil health. This study would be helpful for choosing organic or inorganic sources of P fertilizers for soybean production.

Abstract

Globally, biochar research and its application for soil improvement have attracted the interest of many researchers, primarily environmental and soil scientists, in the last decade. But, a limited number of biochar research studies have been conducted in Bangladesh. Therefore, a comprehensive study on biochar research is necessary to find out the scope and opportunities of biochar application in the soils of Bangladesh. Generally, biochar can improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils. It also has a significant role in greenhouse gas emissions. The contaminated soils can also be remediated through the judicious application of biochar. In Bangladesh, biochar application enhanced soil pH, organic matter, phosphorus availability, and agricultural production while decreasing soil acidification, microbial activity, and heavy metals mobility. Besides that, there were both positive and negative findings regarding nitrogen availability, greenhouse gas emissions, and heavy metal accumulation. However, this review includes the selection of feedstock, the advancement of pyrolysis technology, the characterization of biochar, and the agronomic and environmental benefits of biochar use. This paper also reviews biochar study and application activities in Bangladesh over the last decade. Further research directions have been suggested to ensure the beneficial and safe application of biochar to agricultural property.
