Viable fertilizer prescription model: Soil test crop response approach for sustained and targeted yield, quality of Coriander
A comprehensive three-year field study was conducted to develop and validate soil test crop response (STCR)-based nutrient prescription equations for coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in Alfisols. The research comprised three distinct experimental phases: a fertility gradient experiment, a main experiment, and a validation trial. Across these phases, over 72 soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed for nutrient content and compositional quality. The fertility gradient experiment established significant variability in soil NPK status using fodder maize as an indicator crop. In the main experiment, coriander plots subjected to varying fertility levels and nutrient management strategies-including farmyard manure (FYM) supplementation-were assessed for yield, nutrient uptake, and key quality metrics (total phenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid). Prescription equations targeting specific yield levels were developed by calculating nutrient requirements and quantifying contributions from soil, fertilizer, and FYM. The validation trial demonstrated that STCR-based recommendations, especially those integrating 7.5 t ha ⻠¹ FYM, substantially improved green foliage yield (up to 56.9% higher), nutrient uptake (N, P, K), and quality parameters compared to generalized recommended doses and soil fertility rating approaches. Enhanced outcomes were observed for value cost ratio, response yield stick, and nutrient use efficiency indices (Partial Factor Productivity, Agronomic Efficiency, Partial Nutrient Balance, Internal Utilization Efficiency). Overall, the STCR approach with integrated nutrient management proved effective in increasing yield, improving quality, and optimizing nutrient use efficiency in coriander, advancing the case for site-specific and balanced fertilizer application in sustainable coriander production.

Chess, Conspiracy and Crime: Unpacking the Intrigue in Ronan Bennet’s Zugzwang
Chess functions as both a powerful metaphor and a structural element. It is more than just a game - it is a layered metaphor in which minds wage an invisible battle within and against one another. In literature, it is used as a metaphor, narrative device, and symbolic tool. It has been incorporated to represent the battle of intellect, power play, and strategic planning. This resonates with entrapments beyond the board, capturing the tensions in character dynamics, narrative pacing, and symbolic representations. This paper explores the intricate dynamics of Chess, Crime and Conspiracy in Ronan Bennett’s Zugzwang. Set in pre-revolutionary Russia of 1914, the narration follows Dr. Otto Spethmann, a psychoanalyst and chess enthusiast who becomes entangled in political intrigues and power plays of various factions. This paper examines the exemplary employment of the chess motif to illuminate the complex tapestry of power politics, moral tensions, and shifting loyalties. It highlights how Bennett uses chess moves to metaphorically intertwine them with crime and conspiracy through impossible choices and dilemmas faced by individuals caught in the machinations of forces beyond their control.
