Improving Soil Fertility and Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Productivity through Precision Nutrient Management in North Bihar, India | Chapter 9 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 2

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important agricultural crop growing throughout the world. Over the past few decades, fertilizer consumption in India has increased appreciably. Application of fertilizer nutrients by the farmer without knowing the soil fertility status and nutrient requirements of the crop affects soil quality and production crops adversely. Therefore, the aim of the study is to improve wheat productivity through effective nutrient management strategies. The objective of nutrient management strategies was to achieve the required crop yield in an efficient, economical, and sustainable manner. An on-farm trial was conducted during the Rabi seasons of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 at farmers’ fields in pre-selected ten locations of Muzaffarpur district in North Bihar, considering farmers as replication, in order to assess the fertilizer application based on soil testing for the yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in North Bihar, India. The experimental field had an average soil pH of 8.60, EC of 0.35 dSm^-1, organic carbon of 0.63 percent, nitrogen of 221.33 kg ha^-1, phosphorus of 51.71 kg ha^-1 and potassium of 149.98 kg ha^-1. The results revealed that nutrient management based on soil testing has a statistically significant impact on yield attributes, yield, and economics. The study also confirmed that soil test-based fertilizer application is not only effective in increasing wheat productivity but also in maintaining soil health and optimizing input costs. The highest grain yield of 34.66 and 30.08 q ha^-1 was found significantly in the soil test-based fertilizer application compared to the Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) (N120-P60-K40) and Farmers Practice (FP); (30.08 q ha^-1). The maximum net return (Rs. 27750 ha^-1) and the B: C ratio (2.61) were found in the fertilizer application based on soil test relative to RDF (N₁₂₀-P₆₀-K₄₀) and FP. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term impact of soil test-based fertilizer (STBF) application on soil health, nutrient balance, and microbial activity across multiple cropping cycles.

A Study on Crops Breeding with It’s Varity | Chapter 8 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 8

 Crop rearing is the art and science of reconstructing important land plants for the benefit of humankind. Crop breeders work to make our fare, fiber, scour, and industrial crops more productive and healthy. First, it was determined by means of what breeding practices and expanding germplasm complement each one. In particular, transformation deoxyribonucleic acid breeding was able to use the superfine genes of living belongings on the planet and produce germplasm money that could not be obtained through normal breeding. The beginning of utilization germplasm expanded from only utilizing variation in a variety to between families, that had an even wider scope. Secondly discrepancy and its evolution between ecological and yield skill character, with yield ability characters or environmental characters endure all; this verified that ex- plaining all of wonder was “net system of integrity composition of yield performance”, “hypothetical genetics and rearing science of crops” theory arrangement setting up by author. Thirdly new ideas, closed training and open breeding were put forward on action of relationship of un- ity of obstruction among above characters (genes) and furnishing way of essential energy in cha- racter expressThe idea of terminated and open breeding was a inference of the key distinction for various rearing methods, in addition to the theoretical foundation for an correct assessment of these. It forced family to reject fictions based on the premise that relying on terminated breeding keep produce greater yield varieties, and it compulsory people to abandon the desire that tradition only had variation and the invention of new varieties. It was certain by openness to sexual mix, etc., that it would always assert a footing in an unbeatable position, expand continuously, and be having another in its place by no other breeding means.

A Critics on Nuclear Theory of Cultivation Science of Crops | Chapter 12 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 7

 The purpose concerning this work was to explain the study fabrics and the nuclear belief system of crop cultivation learning on the basis of the current situation and crop help science's problems, practices in crop result, and some hypothetical perspectives. In this work, it was argued that a hypothetical system for Chinese agricultural help science manage not be developed without too showing and describing all of the culture practices. Due to influence of scientific concept of situated or toward the west scholars, belief of this applying subject only blocked on level of point obtaining from contacts usually terms between things, lacked very summarizing and abstraction, but fillings of this subject act basis of big farming conception, ecological farming, it embodied idea that admitting crop production only from general interests, higher layer, grown range, including handing well friendship both between all of ecological systems and middle from two points planting industry and ranching, could well resolve problem of meal. Cultivation science of crops had itself distinguished study field, mainly were relationship 'tween community and individual, contradiction with factors of society yield and its movement, science regularity of high- flexible. Putting forward new concept of Cultivation Science of Crops, it was science studying contradiction change among yield factors of crop (extreme-yielding) community and evenness of regulation and control method. This concept emphasized the subject's basic characteristics and features in addition to its differences from nearby materials. Comparing them to the current education materials used in land colleges, we developed relative nucleus hypotheses and specific constituents of better crop cultivation science established demands of the growth of ecological farming, practices of crop production, and existent difficulties. Finally, the issue of the advancement of land cultivation science was elevated.

Organic Manure on the Crop Yield of Corn (Monoculture in Association with Cowpea) in Ngandajika Region in Central Democratic Republic of Congo: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 6 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 3

 The present study highlights to compare the two coprolites Tithonia diversifolia and club stool in both monoculture systems as association that's used by tropical directors inSub-Saharan Africa, particularly the DRC, with the variety of QPM. This logic includes the artistic association system, which is used by small growers and the maturity of growers inSub-Saharan Africa. still, this system faces the same limitations as the conventional system, similar as the lack of readily available organic fertiliser despite input from the most accessible agrarian patron in tropical areas. Tithonia diversifolia and stool- club organic emendations can be set up in the tropics, with the club parentage ways producing club stool that have just been developed. Both diseases may well contribute to the development of husbandry, not only because of their uproariousness in nutrients, but also their vacuity. A study was conducted in the region Gandajika by testing, both organic diseases in monoculture sludge( QPM variety) and in association with cowpea. The organic ordure can be recommended to growers in their product systems in tropical regions, especially those in the read Ngandajika region.

Determining Wheat Crop Acreage Based on Remote Sensing and GIS Technique in Jabalpur, India | Chapter 6 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 3

 Using satellite photos to map and classify a crop is a difficult operation that can reduce the complications of field visits. Sentinel-2, a recently launched satellite with thirteen spectral bands, a short revisit time, and determination at three different resolutions (10 m, 20 m, and 60 m), as well as free picture access, makes it an excellent candidate for vegetation mapping. The goal of this research is to categorise crop using single date Sentinel-2 photos in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. Unsupervised Classification was used to perform the classification. Sentinel-2's Near Infrared, Red, Green, and Blue spectral bands were layered for classification in this study. The area of wheat crop corresponds to 83.07 percent, Gram/ Pulses 14.64 percent, and other crop 2.28 percent, according to the results. Overall classification accuracy and Kappa Statistics utilising Sentinel-2 imagery are 85.71 percent and 0.819 percent, respectively. As a result, this study discovered that Sentinel-2 had a lot of promise for remote sensing mapping of Jabalpur's farm areas. The study showed that utilising multi-date vegetative growth stage Sentinel data and digital unsupervised classification, district-level wheat acreage could be reliably approximated.

Net System of Genetic Characters of Yield Performance of Crops and Explanation for It | Chapter 9 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

How was the plant or crop yield established? In thirty years, the Net System of Genetic Characters of Yield Results, the theory system of 'Theoretical Genetics and Breeding Science of Crops' was first solved by this great difficult problem of basic research. This net system was a new synthesis of living bodies using subject theories of all plant organs or organisations, functions and metabolism, etc. All factors shaping yield output on individual and community layers were included in this net system. It highlighted that China's theoretical analysis of genetics and crop breeding was at the world's leading level. It included three sections of composition, the fundamental contradiction of yield efficiency, the theory of ecological adaptability and the theory of yield potential (including theory of plant type). The net scheme has been clarified in detail in this article. In practise of breeding, development and scientific studies and all relative theory points, the highest and most basic point of plant genetics and breeding theory, this theoretical method was touchstone testing and measuring all kinds of both phenomena, not only genetics, biology, physiology, but also most basic molecule genetics and molecule biology. This broke the point of error that looked at genetics and crop breeding as applying technique analysis, not both basic study and academic value. Mastering this theory method also mastered the general inheritance and crop breeding situation, also the right initiative, could reform and change appearance, establish a first-class system of crop breeding technology and new variety. Only this theory method was really mastered, could really ensure correctness, initiative and predictability of all ties of work and practise in crop breeding.

Predicting the Water Use Demand as a Climate Change Adaptation Solution for Rice Planting Crops in the Context of Climate Change | Chapter 2 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol.2

 

This work investigates the impacts of climate change (ICC) on water use demand of rice planting
crops in the Long Xuyen Quadrangle (LXQ). Crop model was selected to evaluate the irrigation water
demand, actual evapotranspiration (ETc) and effective rainfall (ER) of rice planting crops based on the updated report on emission scenarios which are issued by Vietnam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for three future time scales (2016-2035, 2046-2065 and 2080-2099) of
Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios.
The results showed that the winter-summer and summer-autumn planting crops need more irrigation
water demand in the growing and developmental stage for time scales of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5
scenarios. Comparing current climate condition the tends to decrease of irrigation water demand in
the initial and development stages of autumn-winter planting crop with arranging from 2.9-12.9% and
10.0-18.2%, respectively corresponding to time scales of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios is found and
a significant downward trend in the late stage approximately 5.8-20.0% and 13.6-20.7%, respectively
for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios also recorded

Thripidae (Thysanoptera) Species Collected from Common Plants and Crops in Peninsular Malaysia: New Perspectives | Chapter 12 | Current Research in Science and Technology Vol. 4

A list of 66 species of thrips recorded from crops or plants in Peninsular Malaysia is presented. Most of the specimens came from a substantial survey of cultivated plants and one-third were from the genus Thrips. The specimens were collected by beating vegetation (that is, either the flowers or leaves) over a plastic tray, subjected to a standard dehydration and clearing process before being slide mounted. Slide mounted specimens were then identified using taxonomic keys. This study also recorded another twenty-one species of thrips besides the two former species from Malaysia: Frankliniella schultzei, a polyphagous tospovirus vector and Stenchaetothrips biformis, the rice thrips. The study reveals 66 species recorded as associated with cultivated plants in Malaysia; of these, 43 were found on more than one species of plant.
