Intensive agriculture is based on the use of high-energy inputs and quality planting materials with assured irrigation, but it has failed to assure agricultural sustainability because creation ecological imbalance degradation natural resources. On other hand, intercropping systems, also known as mixed cropping or polyculture, a traditional farming practice diversified crop cultivation, uses comparatively low improves agro-ecosystem. Intensification crops can be done spatially temporally by...
Wheat is one of the world’s most commonly consumed cereal grains. During abiotic stresses, physiological and biochemical alterations in cells reduce growth development plants that ultimately decrease yield wheat. Therefore, novel approaches are needed for sustainable wheat production under changing climate to ensure food nutritional security ever-increasing population world. There two ways alleviate adverse effects stresses production. These (i) stress tolerant cultivars by molecular...
In modern days, rapid urbanisation, climatic abnormalities, water scarcity and quality degradation vis-à-vis the increasing demand for food to feed growing population necessitate a more efficient agriculture production system. this context, farming with zeolites, hydrated naturally occurring aluminosilicates found in sedimentary rocks, which are ubiquitous environment friendly, has attracted attention recent past owing multidisciplinary benefits accrued from them agricultural activities. The...
Agricultural productivity is constantly being forced to maintain yield stability feed the enormously growing world population. However, shrinking arable and nutrient-deprived soil abiotic biotic stressor (s) in different magnitudes put additional challenges achieving global food security. Though well-defined, concept of macro, micronutrients, beneficial elements from a plant nutritional perspective. Among various selenium (Se) essential small amounts for life cycle organisms, including...
Intercropping, an age old agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at time is generally adopted for production by utilizing available growth resources. Choice very important to reap a better harvest from intercropping. The selection suitable intercropping system sort complicated issue as success depends much on interactions between component crop species, proper management practices and favorable environmental conditions. Intercropping has huge potential...
Cowpea is a climate-smart crop that can be grown in various conditions, such as drought and sandy soils it one of the important grain legumes tropical subtropical regions world. In legume crops like cowpea, N, P, K, sulphur zinc play crucial role plant metabolism. Sulphur essential for synthesizing amino acids proteins, bolstering defence mechanisms against environmental stresses heat. Zinc physiological functions, including enzyme activation protein synthesis. Considering above facts,...
Increasing productivity of maize while decreasing production costs and maintaining soil health are emerging challenges for the rice–maize system in South Asia. A range integrated nutrient weed management practices were tested winter their effects on yield, profitability, health. The treatments a partial substitution nitrogen with bulky (Farmyard manure; vermicompost) concentrated organic manures (Brassicaceous seed meal, BSM; neem cake), whereas compared chemical controls only versus an...
Intensive tillage coupled with imbalanced nutrient management in maize–wheat systems low-carbon calcareous soils often results poor productivity vis-à-vis degradation soil health. Conservation viz. permanent bed planting (PB) and zero (ZT)/direct seeding residue retention precision might improve properties yield of crops. Concerning this, a long-term experiment was conducted from 2014–2015 to 2020–2021 cropping system at TCA, Dholi farm RPCAU, Pusa. Treatments consisted three main plots...
Micronutrient deficiency in soil and crops is a critical issue that contributes to what known as hidden hunger. Hidden hunger refers the lack of essential vitamins minerals people diets, often due poor nutrient content staple crops, which can lead significant health problems despite adequate caloric intake. Micronutrients are required small amounts but crucial for various physiological functions plants, including cereals enzyme activation, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, synthesis vital...
Sustainability and climate change are the two major challenges to agricultural production system. The trade-off between them is essential for higher profitability. energy assessment judging sustainability vulnerability of a Besides, nutrient management weed equally imperative sustainability. Thus, present study was executed assess balance, key indicators profitability rice–maize–green gram system under different practices. Application Brassicaceous seed meal (BSM) along with mineral...
