A field experiment was conducted during 2016–17 to 2017–18 at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, study productivity and profitability of baby corn (Zea mays L.)-based cropping system under various systems with different nutrient-management levels. The laid out in a split-plot design 3 corn-based (CSs) main plots, viz. CS1 , rainy season corn-winter corn-summer (RBc – WB...

Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana) is one of the most popular summer growing cereal fodder, yet with comparatively low level chemical constituents. The quality this fodder can be improved through better by cultivation management including sowing dates and mixed cropping legume. main objective study was to determine forage as reflected major constituents pure stands teosinte binary mixtures commonly ...

fumigant toxicity of various doses of essential oils (185.2, 370.4, 555.5, 740.7, 925.4, 1111.1, and 1296.3 µl/l water) from five officinal plants, including rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis), lavender (lavandula vera), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), tarragon (artemisia dracunculus)and summer savory (satureja hortensis)on two stored products pests, cowpea weevil (callosobruchus maculatus) and red...

Laboratory, growth chamber and multiyear field studies were conducted with prominent cropping systems of the subtropical northwestern states of India including rice–wheat, rice–mustard, rice–rapeseed, soybean– wheat, soybean–rapeseed, groundnut–wheat, and groundnut–sunflower by including legumes (moongbean, cowpea, sesbania, pigeon pea) to investigate the role of integrated nutrient management ...

in order to study the intercropping effects of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed biomass, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, payamenoor university of nagadeh,west- azarbayjan, iran during growing season of 2009-2010. the experiment was laid out as randomized complete block design with three rep...

A field experiment was conducted on deep vertisols of Bhopal, India to evaluate the manural potential of three organic manures: farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), phosphocompost (PC) vis-a-vis 0%, 75% and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer-NPK and to find out the most productive cropping system at various combinations of organic manures and chemical fertilizers. The seed yield of inte...

A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of College Agriculture, V.C. Farm, Mandya, Karnataka from 2017–18 to 2019–20 study efficient cropping system alternate Rice (Oryza sativa L.) under Cauvery Command area for higher productivity and profitability. The laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting 12 crop sequences with 3 replications. Initial final soil sample...

in order to study yield and yield components of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill) – fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l.) in different patterns of intercropping and sole cropping, an experiment with use replacement and additive intercropping based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, ira...

although the physiological and morphological differences between intercropped species caused a higher wue possibly, most researches on multiple cropping systems have focused on yields and the resources use efficiency (water, light and nutrients) has been less investigated. in addition, optimal use of nitrogen is important to attain sustainable agriculture due to its role in wue improvement. the...
