Crop residues, the byproduct of crop production, are valuable natural resources that can be managed to maximize different input use efficiencies. residue management is a well-known and widely accepted practice, key component conservation agriculture. The rapid shift from conventional agriculture input-intensive modern agricultural practices often leads an increase in production residues. Growing more food for ever-increasing population brings chance fast generation. Ecosystem services...
It is critical to understand nutrient dynamics within different plant parts correctly fine-tune agronomic advices, and update breeding programs for increasing use efficiencies yields. Farmer's field-based research was conducted assess the effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) levels on dry matter accumulation, partitioning, remobilization in three popular maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids (P3522, P3396, Rajkumar) over two years an alluvial soil West Bengal, India. Experimental...
In the present two-year study, an attempt was made to estimate grain yield, nutrient uptake, and oil quality of three commonly grown maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids fertilized with varied levels nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) potassium (K). Results obtained from both experimental years indicated that application 125% recommended dose fertilizer (RDF) recorded maximum yield (10.37 t ha-1; 124% higher than control). When compared 100% RDF, reduction omission 44% for N omission, 17% P 27% K omission....
India's oldest documented manure, most commonly referred to as Kunapajala , has a long history of over 1,000 years in crop cultivation. is primarily an - situ decomposition technology animal waste and can potentially provide eco-friendly pipeline for recycling bio-waste into essential plant nutrients. This traditional addition, also contains dairy excreta (e.g., feces urine), products milk ghee), natural resources honey), broken seeds or grains, their non-edible by-product waste. Here, we...
In the coastal zone of Ganges Delta, water shortages due to soil salinity limit yield dry season crops. To alleviate shortage as a consequence stress in saline ecosystem, effect different water-saving (WS) and water-conserving options was assessed on growth, use tomato; two field experiments were carried out at Gosaba, West Bengal, India consecutive seasons during winter 2016–17 2017–18. The experiment laid randomized block design with five treatments viz., surface irrigation, irrigation +...
This study compares thirteen rice-based cropping systems in the coastal part of West Bengal, India terms productivity, profitability, energetics, and emissions. Information on crop management practices these was collected 60 farms through a questionnaire survey. Rice-bitter gourd system observed to have highest yield (49.88 ± 4.34 tha−1yr−1) followed by rice-potato-ridge (37.78 2.77 rice-potato-pumpkin (36.84 2.04 systems. The rice-bitter also recorded benefit:cost ratio (3.92 0.061). lowest...
Field experiment was conducted on clay loam soil during winter season of 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 at the Research Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal to study influence sulphur (S) levels irrigation quality yield mustard (cv. Varuna, T-59). Results revealed that attributes crop were highest with 60 kg S/ha, mostly par 45 S/ha. Double flower initiation (30 days after sowing (DAS)) siliqua development stages (60 DAS) best respect growth, attributes, yield, S uptake oil...
The present study assesses the response of hybrid rice (variety Arize 6444) to potassium (K) application during rainy (wet) seasons 2016 and 2017 in coastal saline soils West Bengal, India. was conducted at Regional Research Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kakdwip, Bengal. soil is clayeywith acidic pH (5.91), (Electrical conductivity/EC 1.53 dS m−1) high K fertility (366 kg ha−1). experimental plots were laid out a randomized complete block design with five (5) treatments (0, 30,...
SUMMARY The area under hybrid maize cultivation is increasing rapidly across South Asia. However, information regarding the proper nutrient management for modern stay-green hybrids in India not adequate resulting low productivity. Existing practices are able to capture momentum change scenario of soil supply capacity and plant demand achieving higher yield target. present study aims at establishing site-specific (SSNM) package an inceptisol (West Bengal, India). Soil indigenous use...
Upscaling sustainable intensification (SI) technologies is crucial to enhancing the resilience of fragile farming systems and vulnerable livelihoods smallholder farmers. It also critical shape future land-use land-cover changes in a region. Zero-tillage potato cultivation (ZTPC), introduced as an SI intervention parts Indian Sundarbans, has demonstrated promises rapid upscaling, thus, seasonal pattern This study aims understand socioecological complexity comprehend how nascent stage ZTPC...
A 2-year field trial was conducted in processing grade potato cv. Kufri Chipsona-3. The treatments comprised recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) (200:150:150 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha−1) with or without boron (B) application (soil and foliar). results revealed that B fertilization significantly increased tuber number yield. Three sprays 0.1% boric acid (at 40, 50 60 days after planting) produced the maximum yield tubers enhanced uptake tuber, haulm as well total plant accounting 85.8, 182.0 169.8%...
In direct seeded rice (DSR) cultivation, weed is the major constraint mainly due to absence of puddling in field. The yield loss interference huge, may be up 100%. this perspective, present experiment was conducted study efficacy selected herbicides, and predict using artificial neural network (ANN) models. dry weight density weeds were recorded at different growth stages consequently herbicidal evaluated. Experimental results revealed that pre-emergence (PRE) herbicide effectively...

 In order to develop weather-based yield prediction models for rice and grass pea in coastal saline zone of West Bengal, the experiments were conducted with (cv. CR 1017) Bio L 212) rainy winter seasons, respectively 2016-17 2017-18. Rice was sown nursery bed on six different dates starting from June 15 July 19 at weekly interval both seasons two land situations viz. medium upland lowland. Likewise, just before harvesting rice. It observed that early resulted higher grain took more...
Given the confluence of water scarcity, declining area under wheat and continuing increase in population, raising productivity has become a serious concern to scientists. Yield contribution from irrigation is more significant wheat. Increase management levels for probably relevant easier improve productivity. But transplanted seems high requiring economically less feasible. Seedlings have usually poor survival rate, are often fragile than rice seedlings at two leaves stage. Besides plants do...
In the present study, seven fertilizer treatments [T1, 50% NPK; T2, 100% NPK (Recommended dose of fertilizer, 200–65.4–124.5 kg N-P-K ha−1); T3, 150% T4, PK; T5, NK; T6, NP and T7, control (zero NPK)] with four replications were assessed in new alluvial soil zone (Entisols) West Bengal, India. The objectives study to generate information on potato productivity, profitability, indigenous nutrient supply net gain/loss post-harvest soil. Plants grown under higher resulted tuber yield there...
