Rice holds key importance in food and nutritional security across the globe. Nutrient management involving rice has been a matter of interest for long time owing to unique production environment rice. In this research, an artificial neural network-based prediction model was developed understand role individual nutrients (N, P, K, Zn, S) on different plant parameters (plant height, tiller number, dry production, leaf area index, grain yield, straw yield) A feed-forward network with...
Nitrogen management is vital for economic and environmental sustainability. Asynchrony of fertilizer application with crop demand along various nitrogen losses in Eastern India leads to low efficiency Kharif rice. At the same time, direct-sowing gaining popularity due water labor scarcity. In an experiment between 2017–2018 West Bengal, India, main plots represented establishment methods: conventional transplanting, TPR; direct-seeded rice, DSR; drum seeded DRR; while subplots options:...
A field experiment was conducted in a farmers the district of Nadia, West Bengal, India to study management N through leaf color chart (LCC) and soil plant analysis development (SPAD) or chlorophyll meter rice (cv. IET-4094) during Kharif (wet season) 20012002 20022003 by taking treatment combinations based on different levels at fixed schedule LCC SPAD. The experimental (015 cm) had pH 7.33; organic C 0.43%; available 408.70 kg ha −1 ; P 6.92 K 66.31 . results SPAD for show that values...
Nutrient management is critical for rice farming because the crop grown under diverse conditions, and in most cases, existing nutrient practices fail to achieve an attainable yield target. During recent years site specific gained importance a target with maximum use efficiency. Sufficient research work has not been carried out this direction so far rice–rice–pulse (black gram) sequential cropping system red lateritic belt of West Bengal, India. A multi-locational field experiment was...
Rice is the lifeline for more than half of world population, and in India, view its huge demand country, farmers adopt a rice–rice cropping system where irrigation facility available. As rice nutrient-exhausting crop, sustainable productivity greatly depends on appropriate nutrient management accordance with inherent soil fertility. The application an ample dose fertilizer key factor maintaining yields balance soil. Considering above facts, experiment was conducted at university farm...
Nutrient management has played a crucial role in achieving self sufficiency food grain production.Energy crisis resulted high price index of chemical fertilizers.Coupled with limited production fertilizer along escalating cost, reduced soil health and the problem pollution gave rise to interest precision nutrient tools.Field experiment was conducted study effect variety on growth productivity maize under lateritic belt West Bengal during kharif season 2013 at farmers' field located Birbhum...
The present-day agriculture is facing a tremendous problem in achieving the global food security context of climate change scenario with ever-increasing human population. To combat situation, there an urgent need to adopt proven improved technologies that can ensure and nutritional as well agricultural sustainability. In this regard, adoption appropriate cropping system play vital role. age-old practice intercropping has multifaceted benefits for enhancement gross productivity farm income...
A field experiment was conducted at agricultural farm of Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute Agriculture), Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan, West Bengal in rabi season 2022-23 using the pea cultivar IPFD 10-12. The laid out a factorial randomized block design with two factors and ten treatment combinations. first factor consists vermicompost i.e., V1: With vermicompost, V2: Without second INM N1: Absolute Control, N2: 100 % RDF, N3: Liquid biofertilizer consortium, N4: 75 RDF+ consortium N5:100 RDF +...
A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural farm of Visva-Bharati University, Birbhum, West Bengal during Pre-kharif (Summar) season 2012, to study effect foliar spray seaweed extracts (prepared from Kappaphycus alvarezii & Gracilaria crassa) on growth and productivity black gram. The applied thrice different concentrations (0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 15.0% v/v) extracts. Foliar applications significantly enhanced yield attributes. highest grain recorded with 15% Kappaphykus + recommended...
Field and pot experiments were conducted during kharif season of 2002 2003 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to study root characteristics maize as influenced by various phosphatic chemical fertilizers biofertilizers. The experimental design field experiment was randomized block in case it completely design. There 12 treatments where sources applied either singly or combination with nitrogen one treatment only urea no source applied. All these replicated three times....
A field experiment was carried out during kharif season of 2010 and 2011 at Sriniketan Research Farm, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, India. The yield attributes growth parameters were significantly higher in case sole maize intercropping treatments with legumes. maximum total chlorophyll (chlorophyll a + b) observed on maize, which statistically par crop under system. In the middle canopy, highest light interception (%) groundnut (2:4). grain (2.48 t ha-1) stover (5.07 than either its systems...
