Abstract In India, the number of farmers converting to organic farming has increased in recent past despite lack government support providing knowledge and extension farmers. The aim this article is investigate perceived relevance, benefits barriers a conversion agriculture three different Indian contexts—in Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh Uttarakhand states. each state, 40 from both conventional systems were interviewed. findings indicated that producers identified production marketing as main...
Abstract This study compared farm production, crop yield, input cost, and income in organic conventional farming systems three states of India: Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu. The results showed that reduced the cost without affecting net margin all states. Total food production was found to be comparable for two While yield rice wheat generally lower under systems, from intercropping crops higher. number agro-ecological methods percentage farms practicing different were higher than...
In eastern India, the rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) faces challenges like poverty, fragmented landholdings, and resource overexploitation, with smallholder farmers prioritizing short-term gains through excessive water nitrogen use. To address these issues, our study combined field experiments DNDC crop simulation model to evaluate resilience, viability, environmental sustainability of RWCS under conservation agriculture (CA) varying irrigation methods rates at International Rice Research...
In the Indian state of Odisha, rice-based system productivity is poor due to: (i) low rice yield in monsoon (wet) season (2-4 t ha-1 compared to 6-8 Punjab or Haryana); and (ii) limited cropping during post-monsoon (dry) (59% wet area left fallow dry season).Our study identifies strategies for increasing through: alternative crop establishment methods (Dry-Direct Seeded Rice DSR, mechanical puddled transplanted PTR-M) traditional such as broadcasting followed by post-emergence tillage...
The technology for the production of neem oil coated urea (NOCU) developed by Indian Agricultural Research Institute is in pipeline adaption several fertilizer industries. Use nitrification inhibitors one methods improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) nitrogenous fertilizers agriculture. However, standard specifications as a raw material NOCU are desired. Accordingly, present study was undertaken to evaluate 25 samples oils comprising 11 expeller grade (EG) oils, 8 cold-pressed (CP) 3...
The nitrogen (N) fertilizer-use efficiency (20–50%) is low in rice fields India. neem-oil coated urea can increase N-use lowland rice, but the desirable thickness of coating onto not known yet. Therefore, field experiments were conducted during kharif (rainy) season years 2004 and 2005 at Research Farm Indian Agricultural Institute, New Delhi to know suitable on prilled (PU) for increased yield. treatments comprised twelve combinations four N sources (PU with 0, 500, 1000 2000 mg kg−1 PU)...
Zinc (Zn) is increasingly recognized as an essential trace element in the human diet that mediates a plethora of health conditions, including immune responses to infectious diseases. Interestingly, geographical distribution dietary Zn deficiency overlaps with soil deficiency. In South Asia, malnutrition high due excessive consumption rice low content. Interventions such diversification, food fortification, supplementation, and biofortification are followed address malnutrition. Among these,...
<p>There is an increased understanding that the challenges of producing enough food and biomass while preserving soil, water biodiversity necessary for ecosystem services can not be solved by prevalent types conventional agriculture agro-ecological approaches ecological intensification fundamental our future production. FAO has stated “Ecosystem sustain agricultural productivity resilience” advocates production through management. Terminologies such as agro-ecology ecological/...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a cutting-edge technology that holds the promise of revolutionizing conventional tasks carried out in realm agriculture. On global scale, UAVs are gaining prominence for pesticide applications, particularly with focus on utilizing low spray volumes. Nevertheless, there remains notable gap research concerning impacts employing volumes herbicide efficacy. Hence, multi-location field studies were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar...
Abstract The millions of food insecure people in India are not solely due to inadequate production, but also because some simply too poor buy food. This study assessed how a large-scale conversion from conventional organic production would impact on the economics marginal and small farmers Tamil Nadu Madhya Pradesh, total these states. considered situation where fertilizer subsidies be discontinued, with having carry full cost fertilizer. Results show that improved economic although was...
Abstract The fertilizer nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in lowland rice is quite low (20–50%) India. Coating of nitrification inhibitors, such as neem cake or oil, onto prilled urea may improve NUE. Hence, a field experiment was conducted at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, during wet seasons 2005 and 2006 to study effect coated with varying doses major oil components on grain yield NUE scented rice. Sixteen treatments comprised combinations five (free fatty acid, pure...
Variable climate resulting in floods, and labor-intensive manual rice transplanting are the major challenges cultivation Assam, India. Our study aimed to improve rice-rice systems productivity through submergence-tolerant varieties (STRVs) mechanical puddled transplanted (MTR). On-farm experiments were conducted four seasons over two years (2018-19 2019-20) 15 districts where is dominant cropping system. We evaluated best management practices (BMPs- a combination of STRVs MTR) against...
The utility of neem (Azadirachta indica A Juss) oil coated urea as a value-added nitrogenous fertilizer has been now widely accepted by Indian farmers and the industry. In present study, expeller grade (EG) hexane-extracted (HE) oils, two most common commercial grades, were used to prepare (NOCU) various doses, for which mineralization rates assessed in four soils at three incubation temperatures (20, 27, 35 °C). Neem dose-dependent conservation ammonium N was observed NOCU treatments all...
