transplanting of Vegetable seedlings
Transplanting of winter vegetable seedlings involves lifting seedlings from the nursery and planting them in the main field to provide better growing conditions. Some key crops transplanted include tomatoes, cabbage, and brinjal. Transplanting provides benefits like healthier stockier plants, uniformity, and better land use. However, it also involves greater expenses and the risk of transplant shock. Seedlings should be hardened off before transplanting through methods like limiting water and exposing them to sun. The ideal time for transplanting is early morning or late evening and seedlings should be at the 4-6 week stage with a good root system.
methods of sowing Of crops
There are several different sowing methods for planting seeds, each with advantages and disadvantages. The main methods discussed are broadcasting, drilling or line sowing, dibbling, transplanting, and putting seeds behind the plough. Broadcasting involves scattering seeds over a prepared field by hand, while drilling places seeds in rows using an implement. Dibbling positions seeds individually using a dibbler. Transplanting involves growing seedlings in a nursery and then transplanting them. Putting seeds behind the plough drops seeds into furrows made by a plough. Factors like the type of crop, soil moisture, and costs determine which sowing method is best.

Manure Application Method and Timing Effects on Emission of Ammonia and Nitro...
Proceedings available at: http://www.extension.org/67611
We conducted a field study on corn to evaluate the effect of liquid dairy manure applied pre-plant (injection or surface broadcast with immediate or 3-day disk incorporation) or sidedressed at 6-leaf stage (injected or surface-applied) on emission of NH3 and N2O. Manure was applied at a rate of 6500 gal/acre, which supplied an average of 150 lb/acre of total N and 65 lb/acre of NH4-N. Ammonia emission was measured for 3 days after manure application using the dynamic chamber/equilibrium concentration technique, and N2O flux was quantified using the static chamber method at intervals of 3 to 14 days throughout the season. Ammonia-N losses were typically 30 to 50 lb/acre from pre-plant surface application, most of the loss occurring in the first 6 to 12 hours after application. Emission rates were reduced 60-80% by quick incorporation and over 90% by injection. Losses of N2O were relatively low (1 lb/acre or less annually), but pronounced peaks of N2O flux occurred from either pre-plant or sidedress injected manure in different years. Results show that NH3 emission from manure can be reduced substantially by injection or quick incorporation, but there may be some tradeoff with N2O flux from injection.
Fertilizers v/s Manures
The document compares fertilizers and manure. It states that fertilizers contain nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus that are added to plants to maximize crop yields and health. However, fertilizers can have harmful environmental effects if overused. Manure is organic matter from animal feces that is also used as organic fertilizer. While manure provides beneficial nutrients, its overuse risks contaminating surface water and groundwater. The document recommends using manure as compost to fertilize plants and avoid burning them.
Fertilizers vs manures
This document compares fertilizers and manures. It defines fertilizers as materials that supply plant nutrients, and notes the main types include sodium nitrates, ammonium salts, and compounds with nitrogen in amide form. Manures are organic materials derived from animal feces or green plants that provide nutrients. The document lists advantages and disadvantages of both, such as fertilizers providing high nutrients but potential harm, while manures improve soil structure but can spread weeds. It concludes by comparing key differences between fertilizers being mineral and giving rapid response versus manures being organic and taking longer to decompose.
Fertilizers & nutrients (1)
This document discusses plant nutrients and fertilizers. It describes essential macronutrients and micronutrients that plants require. It provides details on the functions and deficiency symptoms of primary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), secondary nutrients (calcium, magnesium, sulfur) and micronutrients (iron, copper, zinc, etc.). The document also discusses different types of fertilizers including organic vs inorganic, soluble vs insoluble, and methods of applying fertilizers such as banding, sidedressing, topdressing, and fertigation.
