The objective of the experiment was to develop cropping sequence modules for round year green fodder production feeding 50 dairy cattle under irrigated conditions in North-West Himalayan region. Various were initiated at Research Farm Instructional Livestock Centre, R.S. Pura, FVSc. & A.H., SKUAST-Jammu during 2016 an area 2.5 ha. experimental data collected after fully establishing unit 20...

the experiment was conducted in order to evaluate of competitive and economic indices in canola and pea intercropping at different rates of nitrogen fertilizer at shahrekord university research farm during 1390 - 1391. intercropping and sole cropping treatments (100% canola; 66% canola + 33% pea, 50% canola + 50% pea; 33% canola + 66% pea; 100% pea) were evaluated as the first factor and nitrog...

Twenty-two cover crops were evaluated for their ability to reduce damage by root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, to taro, Colocastia esculenta, in a tropical cropping system. Cover crops were grown and incorporated into the soil before taro was planted. Barley, greenpanic, glycine, marigold, sesame, sunn hemp, and sorghum x sudangrass DeKalb ST6E were poor or nonhosts to the nematode as me...

A study on nutrient uptake by different legume crops was carried out at two locations–one at Bangladesh Agricultural University farm Mymensingh and another at Regional Agricultural Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Jamalpur. The objective was to find out the optimum concentrations of different nutrient elements and its uptake by legume crops in a Wheat-Legume-T. Am...

ABSTRACT: One of the biggest challenges in intercropping two or more crops is to maintain their productivity as that sole counterparts. In order obtain sustainable systems a semi-arid environment, this study evaluated agro-economic advantage and sustainability intercropped carrot cowpea, optimizing green manuring spatial arrangements. Experiments were conducted period from July October 2017 201...

This paper discusses the effects of intercropping and tree pruning on root distribution and soil water depletion in an alley cropping system with Acacia saligna and Sorghum bicolor in northern Kenya. Root distribution was determined by destructive sampling, and the soil water suction was measured with tensiometers and gypsum blocks, both up to 150 cm depth. The root systems of the intercropped ...
