A field experiment was carried out during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Influence Row Ratio Assessment Yield and Economics Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Mustard (Brassica nigra) Intercropping System”. to study treatments consisting with row Proportions wheat mustard intercropping. The soil experimental plot sandy loam in texture, near...

In the North China Plain, groundwater tables have been dropping at unsustainable rates of 1 m per year due to irrigation of a double cropping system of winter wheat and summer maize. To reverse the trend, we examined whether alternative crop rotations could save water. Moisture contents were measured weekly at 20 cm intervals in the top 180 cm of soil as part of a 12-year field experiment with ...

Intercropping, which grows at least two crop species on the same pieces of land at the same time, can increase grain yields greatly. Legume-grass intercrops are known to overyield because of legume nitrogen fixation. However, many agricultural soils are deficient in phosphorus. Here we show that a new mechanism of overyielding, in which phosphorus mobilized by one crop species increases the gro...

Intercropping has been widely used to control disease and improve yield in agriculture. In this study, maize and peanut were used for non-separation intercropping (NS), semi-separation intercropping (SS) using a nylon net, and complete separation intercropping (CS) using a plastic sheet. In field experiments, two-year land equivalent ratios (LERs) showed yield advantages due to belowground inte...

Changes in soil physical and chemical properties were evaluated in several on-farm studies located in rainfed, hardsetting red Al®sols (Ferric Luvisols) and in irrigated, self-mulching Vertisols (Chromic Vertisols) of eastern Australia. The objective of the studies was to evaluate changes in soil physical and chemical properties with time under commercial farming situations where changes had be...

to investigate wheat and wild mustard growth and competition to n levels, an experiment was conducted in ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khouzestan, located at 36 km north of ahvaz. treatments included planting wheat solely, wild mustard solely, and intercropping wheat and wild mustard in pots. these combinations were exposed to n levels including 0, 60, 120 and 180 kg.ha-...

1. Pigs (n 195) between 21 and 49 d of age were given a basal diet containing wheat, wheat gluten and cotton-seed meal which was supplemented with one of nine protein concentrates or free L-lysine. The diets were given ad lib. in two experiments. 2. Increasing the lysine content of the diets from 6.9 to 10.1 g/kg increased the weight gains of the pigs from 89 to 317 g/d in the first experiment....

Yield and nutrient acquisition advantages are frequently found in intercropping systems. However, there are few published reports on soil fertility in intercropping relative to monocultures. A field experiment was therefore established in 2009 in Gansu province, northwest China. The treatments comprised maize/faba bean, maize/soybean, maize/chickpea and maize/turnip intercropping, and their cor...

Alkaline protease producing microorganism Vibrio metschnikovii NG155, isolated from the soil samples of leather industry, having potential application in dehairing of animal skin was used in this study. To enhance the production of protease by this strain, various physical and nutritional factors were optimized using statistical methods like Plackett Burman and Response Surface Methodology. In ...
