The relation between agriculture and energy is very close. Agricultural sector itself is an energy user and energy supplier in the form of bio-energy (Alam et al., 2005). It uses large quantities of locally available non-commercial energies, such as seed, farmyard manure and animate energy, and commercial energies directly and indirectly in the form of electricity, diesel fuel, chemical fertili...

The developed IFS model is having different components which comprise of arable crops (1.04 ha), horticulture (0.22 fishery (0.10 mushroom (0.02 poultry (10 birds), vermicompost ha) and kitchen garden (20 m2). overall productivity was 174.04 tonnes/ha/year in terms sugarcane equivalent yield (SEY) during the representative years (2013–18). farmyard manure (FYM) together with other farm-based by...

in order to investigate effects of optimum use of manure and nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of corn single cross 704 (late maturing, non-prolific and dent) in different levels of irrigation water. a field study was conducted in 2005 year in agriculture experiment station of college agriculture, arak university (34o 32′ n, 50o 31′ e; 1759 m above mean sea level). design of exp...

in order to study the effects of farm yard manure (fym), sulfate of potassium (sop) and boric acid on quality and quantity of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted in split plot factorial with four replications during 3 years (1999-2001) in bardsir- kerman. the fym was the main plot in 3 levels: 0, 10 and 20 ton.ha-1. sop was applied at levels, 0 ,75 and 150 kg.ha-1  and boric acid at levels ...

The multi-faceted benefits of growing crops under protected cultivation are gradually establishing it as a promising technology for vegetable in India. However, the adoption successive cropping patterns soil-based closed structures is leading to buildup soil-borne pathogens and pests, which becoming major hindrance sustainable production these crops, particularly northern plains. Root-knot nema...

abstract methods of tillage and organic matter affect root growth and distribution and therefore nutrient uptake by plant and its growth. this study was performed consecutive two years. tillage treatments included disk harrowing + two disk harrowings as reduced tillage (15 cm plowing depth) and moldboard plowing + two disk harrowings as conventional tillage system (30 cm plowing depth). also, t...

In cotton and cereals production systems, the most important cause of soil fertility degradation is the inappropriate crop residues management. In a long-term experiment carried out from 1982 to 2012, the effects of crop residues management (CRM) during 30 years on soil chemical properties and crops yields were evaluated in a cotton-cereals rotation. The experimental design was nonrandomized bl...
