Integrated Crop Management Practices for Achieving Higher Productivity in Chickpea in Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu | Chapter 2 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 1

 Chickpea is an main cool season food legume crop developed during rabi season advantageous soil areas of Dharmapuri District. Allure productivity is curbing day by day due to the differing biotic and abiotic determinants. Particularly, the occurrences of dryness stress and fusarium wilt ailment incidence are the major concern in determining the yield of chickpea. To overcome the above questions, frontline demonstration on chickpea variety JAKI 9218 accompanying integrated crop administration practices was conducted at 10 farmers’ assets of Dharmapuri district all along Rabi season of 2017-18. The results of the demonstration indicated that expression of integrated crop management practices in addition to improved difference recorded higher piece yield of 7.98 q/ha and farmers practice written the lower yield of 6.36 q/ha. The increase in grain yield of chickpea over farmers practice was 22.5 per insignificant value. The extension break of 1.62 q/ha recorded for grain yield middle from two points demonstration and ranchers practice indicated that dissemination of joined crop management practices containing improved variety through show is needed with the chickpea growers for achieving higher yield through income.

A Review on decomposition of Paddy Straw Improved Soil Health in Chatra District, India| Chapter 4 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 The present study accompanied that rice hay could be efficiency used for conservation of soil vitamin under rice ecosystem through correct decomposition methods. ice straw is an ideal amplify agent for fertilizer compost due to allure high C:N percentage, which can help maintain the ideal 25:1 of the fertilizer. This C:N ratio maximizes N stop and substrate adsorption, which minimizes deficits by volatilization and leaching. N deficits from proper make ready to bear may be as low as 13% of the original feedstock N. Front line parade was conducted all the while the years 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 in NICRA adopted suburb Mardanpur in Arra Panchyat of Chatra Block in Chatra district of Jharkhand. The study was attended to assess the effects of breakdown of paddy stable on output and profitability with soil energy in local farming structure as well as extra contamination of the technology to similar calculating farming position. The experiment consisting of two technology alternative TO-I: (Farmers Practice) Burning of paddy stable in field and accumulating paddy stable for use as fuel of cooking and afterwards onset of cyclone field prepare and transplant edible grain (Variety-Abhishek) with N80P60K30 TO-II: Decomposition of paddy constant 4.5q/ha after onset of cyclone in the month of June through rotovator and transplanted edible grain (Variety – Abhishek) with N60P45K23 in RBD design accompanying 20 replication. The result showed that an average piece and straw yield of edible grain was 25q/ha and 74.80 q/ha in farmers practice in technology alternative TO-I where as science option (TO-II) i.e. 28.33 q/ha and 98.84 q/ha individually. Return for rupee spent was further higher i.e. 2.40 knowledgeable-II as compared to peasants practice i.e. 1.85 (TO-I). It is due to (25%) decline of chemical manure in technology alternative (TO-II). The rationale behind selection of science option (TO-II) was distribute scientific recommendations that is decomposition of paddy hay or stable to demonstrate  laborers, convincing the benefit of breakdown in the place of burning paddy straw or resistant in field. The data on soil synthetic analysis before and after breakdown, yield and economic was written.

Determining the Effect of Plant Leaf Mulching in Ginger on Yield and Soil Health at NICRA Village in Chatra District of Jharkhand, India| Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 The study proposed to determine the Effect of Plant Leaf Mulching in Ginger on Yield and Soil Health at NICRA Village in Chatra District of Jharkhand, India. Mulching  is  the  process  or  practice  of top  the  soil/ground  to  make  timely  condition  for  plant growth,  growth  and  efficient  crop  result. The FLD experiment was conducted in 20 copy (Farmers field) in National Innovation on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) village Mardanpur in Arra Panchat of Chatra block in Chatra sector of Jharkhand on three ensuing year 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17. The FLD experiment was administered in randomized block design with 2000 m2 plot intensity for each mechanics option. The two science options are in this manner TO-I: (Farmers Practice) Burning of plant leaf in forest extent and use as cooking material and transplanting spirit in the month of May outside mulching accompanying N100P60K60. TO-II: Mulching of ginger field by plant leaf (5 q/ha) accompanying N75P40K45. The rationale  behind excerpt of technology alternative (TO-II) was disseminate experimental approvals i.e. cultivate land of ginger field to showed famers convincing the benefit of produce in the place of burning leaf in jungle area. For better understanding, data on soil synthetic analyses before and later mulching, yield, and commerce were recorded. On the footing of farmer tests, a matrix rating was performed each intermediary treatment. Participatory country assessment was used to constitute the matrix grade. Farmer’s reaction was measure in five point grade scale. The overall score reflecting the quality of favorable, ominous and neutral to the connected technology invasion (Negative = 2.5, Natural = 2.3 – 3.5 and positive above = 3.5). Result determined that on an average ginger yield was 144.83 q/ha in peasants practice where as in science option (TO-II), it was 187.7 q/ha individually. Return per rupee spent was further raise more in TO-II that is 4.99 as compare to peasant practice i.e. 3.88. Forest plant leaf that is generally secondhand by farmers as a browning material converted as the enrichment of land material in the district. This advice given sector line department NGOs and ATMA for prediction in the similar breeding community.

Maize Based Conservation Agriculture Production Systems (CAPS) Improves Crop Yield, System Productivity and Profitability in Rainfed Uplands of India| Chapter 1 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 Conservation farming production systems (CAPS), individual of the environment companionable approaches, aid in preserving soil quality, output, and farmers pay after deductions. Through a system productivity an d appropriateness study, effects of diminished tillage, intercropping, and cover cropping methods tailored for maize-located systems were assessed over a three-old age period (2011-2014) in rainfed uplands of Odisha, India. Results showed maize piece yield did not disagree significantly over time or with CAPS treatments while cowpea yield was thought-out as an additional yield in intercropping systems. The adequate CAPS implementation had considerably higher system output and net benefit than conventional ranchers practice.
