Physical indicators of soil quality in relation to erodibility were evaluated the submontaneous tract Punjab (India). A field experiment was conducted with both natural and simulated rainfall conditions under four land uses—barren, cultivated, grassland, forest. Sustainability index approach (Gomez, Kelly, Syers, Coughlan, 1996 Gomez , A. D. E. S. Kelly J. K. Syers Coughlan . Measuring sustainability agricultural systems at farm level pp. 401 – 410 W. Doran Jones eds., Methods for Assessing...
The trend analysis of historical rainfall data on monthly, annual and seasonal basis for three locations in lower Shivaliks Punjab, viz., Patiala-ki-Rao (1982-2015), Ballowal Saunkhri (1987-2015) Saleran (1984-2017) has been done the present study using linear regression model, Mann Kendall test Sen’s slope. Further, rainy days also analyzed quindecennial basis, i.e., period 1986-2000 2001-2015. showed that region ranged from 1000 to 1150 mm. shows monthly is decreasing at Saleran, however,...
Repeated puddling for rice cultivation and extensive tillage during wheat in the north-west of India has adversely affected soil health. Adoption resource conservation technologies (RCTs) is required long-term sustainability conventional rice–wheat systems. However, behaviour these site-specific. A field study was conducted 2016 to evaluate medium-term impact residue retention on physical biological characteristics. Four treatments were imposed 2011: conventionally-tilled (CT) followed by CT...
Abstract To evaluate soil erodibility under different land uses and to study the applicability of nomograph for estimation a field experiment was conducted both natural simulated rainfall conditions four viz . barren, cultivated, grassland, forest in sub‐mountainous tract Punjab (India). Measured ( K ) values varied from 0·33 0·67 0·23 0·40 conditions. Among uses, measured order barren > cultivated grassland soils. The estimated by were very low as compared observed values. trends also...
Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are essential plant macronutrients responsible for mitigation of biotic abiotic stresses as well enhancement in yield maize. In rainfed maize, low productivity due to imbalanced use fertilizers, erratic rainfall periodic dry spells major constraints. Hence, a field experiment was conducted rainy season during 2015, 2016 2017 on an Inceptisol optimize the levels K Mg The consisted four K; control, @20 kg ha−1, K@30 ha−1 40 Mg; Mg@15 Mg@30 Mg@45 ha−1....
Long-term tillage and nitrogen management are useful for determining how crop strategies affect soil sustainability productivity. The long-term impact of practices [conventional (CT), reduced (RT1) + herbicide application (RT2)] sources [100% recommended dose (RDN) through compost (N1), 50% RDN urea (N2) 100% (N3)] in maize-wheat system was evaluated properties, nutrient uptake results highlighted that RT2 significantly resulted 10% higher organic carbon (SOC), 13% phosphorus 5% bulk density...
The weather forecasts received from India Meteorological Department (IMD), Chandigarh and actual data recorded at Agrometeorological observatory of Regional research Station, Ballowal Saunkhri were compared to check the validity accuracy forecast during 2017-18.The usability analysis for parameters was done using skill scores critical values error structure different seasons.The ratio derived between forecasted observed post-monsoon winter seasons be relatively higher as those monsoon...
