Nangasai basin is a semi-arid watershed where agriculture the main source of economy. In present day, increasing population demands increase in food productivity which leads to use fertilizers and chemical pesticides agriculture. These on other hand mix up with groundwater pollution, affects human health adversely. So, for controlling contamination risk proper water resource management assessment vulnerability extremely important. Total 7 hydrogeological parameters have been considered this...
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...
Agriculture in the Indian Sundarbans deltaic region primarily depends on a rice-based monocropping system during rainy season, with subsequent season often remaining fallow. To mitigate this issue, series of experiments using zero tillage and straw mulching (ZTSM) potato cultivation were conducted over eight consecutive years (2017–2024) across various islands Delta, West Bengal, aimed to intensify cropping ensure betterment land use pattern climate-smart agricultural practices. In initial...
The field experiments were conducted for evaluation of Dinotefuran, a third generation neonicotinoid insecticide, against brown planthopper (BPH) in farmer's at Sahebganj village (Block- Bhatar, Dist. – Burdwan), West Bengal, India during kharif, 2008-09 and 2009-10. Seven treatments contained four doses dinotefuran 15, 20, 25 30 g ai./ha, imidacloprid ai./ha acephate 400 along with an untreated check tested following randomised block design (RBD) three replications. crop was raised plots...

 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...
Identifying productive, profitable, and less risky cropping systems is pivotal for ensuring sustainable farm–based livelihoods in the context of climatic uncertainties market volatility, particularly many developing nations. Conventional field crop research often identifies best or optimal solutions based on treatment replicates at a specific point time without considering influence volatility uncertainties. To address this gap, we conducted an assessment productivity profitability climate–...
Field experiments were conducted for two successive years with grass pea (cv. ‘Prateek’) sown on nine dates at weekly interval Instructional Farm (22°58´ N, 88°31´ E), Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India to investigate the impact of agroclimatic factors pod filling pea. Results showed that percentage (PFP) increased delay in sowing dates, attaining highest value (96.7 %) crop 30th November, beyond which it decreased gradually further sowing. Maximum and minimum...
Due to seasonal dry-season salt accumulation in the coastal saline zone (CSZ) of West Bengal, India, cultivation winter crops (following summer rice) is rare. To address this issue, field experiments were conducted over two years (2016–18) CSZ study feasibility cropping system intensification through incorporating grass pea into dominant rice-fallow rotation. The experiment was strip plot design with factors namely, Factor A: Six dates rice sowing (at one-week intervals—2nd week June 3rd...
IntroductionLathyrus (Lathyrus sativus L.), also known as grass pea, chickling khesari dal etc. is an important pulse crop of a great economic significance in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Ethiopia.The genus Lathyrus has 187 species (Alkin et al., 1983) among which only one L. widely cultivated food (Jackson Yunus 1984).Lathyrus multi-purpose grain legume food, feed fodder mainly grown residual moisture.Lathyrus can be adverse weather conditions such drought, excessive rainfall...
Agricultural research and extension projects aimed at socio-economic ecological development in the coastal saline zone (CSZ) often face serious operational challenges. Crop management practices these stressed ecosystems confront stiff climatic (cyclonic storms, extreme high low rainfall, prolonged hot dry spells), edaphic (soil salinity during winter summer months, excess soil moisture rainy season lack of season), production (growing long duration paddy varieties consequent delay sowing...
Aims: The current study's objective is to compute the forest cover dynamics using Land Use and Cover (LULC) change detection. Place Duration of Study: North Eastern Ghat Zone (NEGZ) Odisha, India over 1990 2020. Methodology: Through use Landsat images Supervised & Unsupervised technique classification, five main categories were established under LULC, viz., Agriculture, Barren Lands, Forest, Settlements, Water Bodies. Results: results infer that reduced by 20%. On contrary, settlements...
