Vertisols occur extensively in centralIndiaand have high production potentials. Because of the high clay content (40-60% or more), high bulk density (1.5-1.8 Mg m-3) and related properties, these soils have high moisture storage capacity. Conversely, these soils become very hard when dry and very sticky when wet. Since last two decades, scientists, farmers and also the policy makers have be...

ground water is the major source of drinking water in rural and semi-urban areas of assam. it contains an excessive amount of iron (1 to 10 mg/l). people living in rural and semi-urban areas of assam uses indigenous household iron filter units – developed using community prepared wooden charcoal (cpwc) and river sand (rs) as filter media. cpwc and rs processed and respectively termed as process...

CROPGRO-Soybean model calibrated for local conditions of Raipur has been used to evaluate the relevance medium range weather forecast relative soybean crop growth period. A procedure that makes use historical data, (mrwf) and current data in conjunction with was developed arrive at a probable distribution predicted yield. series perfect mrwf 5 days were assumed assessing sensitivity management ...

Limited information exists on the impact of addition 28% urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) to 2,4-D, applied preplant (PP) soybean, control multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) Canada fleabane. A total five field experiments were conducted over a two-year period (2020, 2021) in southwestern Ontario determine if MHR fleabane with 2,4-D ester PP can be improved by adding UAN spray solution. Glyphosate + ...

The use of efficient and effective nodulating Bradyrhizobia strains considered as anecologically and environmentally sound management strategy for soybean production. A 2-yr(2009 and 2010) field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of seven indigenousBradyrhizobium strains, one exotic TAL-102 and three N fertilizer rates, i.e., 25, 50 and 100kg N ha-1 on the productivity and N2 fixa...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of pendimethalin applied pre-emergence (PRE) followed by post-emergence (POST) application of imazethapyr + imazamox/quizalofop-p-ethyl for weed control and their effect on conventional soybean injury, yield attributes, and yield. Field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014 in conventional soybean. Herbicide treatments provided ≥9...

Maize (Zea maize L.) is one of the major cereal crop produced worldwide after wheat and rice mainly as food for human animal feed .maize most sensitive to weed competition during its early growth stage control an important management practice production that should be carried out ensure optimum grain yield. Weeds compete with corn plants resources such light, nutrients, space, moisture, water, ...
