The rainfed agriculture plays an important role in Indian economy. The experiment of four planting patterns viz ridge, bed seed drill and broadcast were evaluated during the kharif season of 2009. The objectives were to evaluate the performance of pearl millet as influenced by planting patterns and to understand the relationships of rainfall and wa...

... were conducted at research farm, Rajiv Gandhi South Campus (BHU), Barkachha, Mirzapur during the kharif of 2009. Pearl millet hybrid variety "SBH- 7178" was used as a medium of the trial. A monthly rainfall distribution of study year was presented in Fig. 1. The experiment was laid out in randomized com- plete block design with three replications. Net plot size was 5 m × 13 m. The experiment comprised four treatments viz. ridge, bed, seed drill and broadcast planting. The crop was sown in the 2 nd week of July 009 on a well-prepared plot by rigger method in ridge planting and row to row ...

Pearl millet is a major cereal crop in northwestern India. The crop is grown in very harsh,
arid, dry climatic areas having high temperature and low and erratic rainfall. It’s use as food
is declining but its use as cattle feed, poultry feed and source of starch in the alcohol industry
is increasing. Its fodder is an important source of animal feed...

... Leaf area index at various stages of crop growth was calculated by using the formula suggested by Sestak et al. [29]. [8,32]. Field moisture status was monitored at the plantation, before and after each irrigation and at harvest. ...
An experiment was carried out during 2011 and 2012 at the Gangetic alluvial soils of West Bengal, India to assess the impact of four irrigation schedules and three nutrient sources on productivity, quality, water use efficiency (WUE) and economics of turmeric. The results showed that maximum yield was observed due to the main effects of irrigation schedule at 0.9 irrigation water (IW)/cumulative pan evaporation (CPE), nutrient schedule at 50% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 25% farmyard manure (FYM) + 25% vermicompost and their interactions at harvest stage during both years. The higher fresh (24.61 and 26.81 t ha−1) and cured (5.12 and 5.23 t ha−1) rhizome yield during both years, respectively, were registered under 0.9 IW/CPE with 50% RDF + 25% FYM + 25% vermicompost. The WUE was higher under 0.9 IW/CPE with 50% inorganic + 25% FYM + 25% vermicompost, resulting in a considerable increase in turmeric yield during both years. The irrigation and nutritional schedules (0.9 IW/CPE with 75% RDF + 25% FYM) had significantly higher return per rupee investment than other treatments. This study confirmed that application of irrigation at 0.9 IW/CPE and combine application organic and inorganic nutrient sources improved rhizome yield, WUE, quality and return per rupees investment, could be obtained more precisely from the knowledge of irrigation scheduling and integrated nutrient management.
This study was conducted at Engineering farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, India, during winter 2016-17 using sorghum crop (Sorghum bicolar) to examine the effect of three land leveling (control or unleveled, conventional land leveling and leveling with laser guided land leveler) and three planting systems (ridge and furrow, double row bed planting and triple row bed planting). The laser guided land leveler significantly improved the growth attributes of sorghum as compared to the control whereas the growth attributes were recorded highest under double row bed planting. The highest yield attributes were recorded in laser guided land leveler. The best results of sorghum yield attributes were recorded under double row bed planting. In land leveling, laser guided land leveler significantly improved yield of sorghum (grain and fodder) as compared to control. Whereas, maximum sorghum yield was obtained under double row bed planting over rest planting system. The soil moisture distribution, water saving and water use efficiency were improved under laser guided land leveler with double row bed planting over rest of the treatments. The highest gross return, net return and benefit: cost ratio were obtained under laser guided land leveler with double row bed planting over rest of the treatments.
