Background: Paddy is a very important agricultural crop of Assam occupying 71.59 per cent its total net cropped area. Among paddy, Sali paddy occupies 78.21 area in the state. Ranjit variety developed by Agricultural University found to be proven having yield potential 6 ton hectare farmer’s field. Hence did large scale demonstration across state and results were encouraging. Methods: The prese...

Paddy-upland rotation is an unavoidable cropping system for Asia to meet the increasing demand for food. The reduction in grain yields has increased the research interest on the soil properties of rice-based cropping systems. Paddy-upland rotation fields are unique from other wetland or upland soils, because they are associated with frequent cycling between wetting and drying under anaerobic an...

Phosphorous (P) is an essential element to plant growth and development necessitating P fertilizer applications for agricultural crops better yields. Paddy, the main food crop of Sri Lankans a intensive where phosphorus nutrition achieved via triple super phosphate applications. Since water circulating system paddy fields are connected other bodies this soluble can contaminate nearby waterbodie...

The economic value of irrigation water was determined through Contingency Valuation Method and Crop-Water Production function during wet and dry season of paddy cultivation. Factors namely, area under rice and water requirement influenced the willingness to pay for water by farmers. Social values of farmers’ over water were found to be high. The comparison of the economic value of water estimat...

A mean mechanization index of 0.59 and a total machinery energy of 477.78 MJ/ha were recorded for the direct seeding paddy cultivation in Malaysia. Highest mechanization index and machinery energy were obtained in the harvesting operation (0.99 and 336.81 MJ/ha) while the lowest values were in pesticides operations (0.19 and 3.97 MJ/ha). The benefit-cost ratios for an average farmer with and wi...

[1] Soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland is of great importance to the global carbon (C) balance and to agricultural productivity, but it is highly sensitive to human activities such as irrigation and crop rotation. It has been observed that under certain improved management practices, cropland soils can sequestrate additional C beyond their existing SOC level before reaching the C saturation ...

This study examined the use of soil and water conservation (SWC) practices among rice farmers in Iran. A random sample of 400 rice paddy farmers in the Foumanat plain of Guilan province, who use SWC measures, was drawn from a population of 52 thousand farmers. A two-part questionnaire was used to examine the level of utilization of SWC practices and to profile paddy farmers. Internal consistenc...

The duration of the lockdown measures led us to consider how potential food crops and agriculture play a vital role in this pandemic situation. Except Health services essential services, sector major feeding large population country. (COVID–19) crises prompts changes paddy cultivation. At first, we study about cultivation for human beings scenario at second, it fully covered farmers their chall...
