Rice is the staple food for more than half of world’s population. In South Asia, rice farming systems provide to majority population, and agriculture a primary source livelihood. With demand nutritious increasing, introducing innovative strategies in imperative. this regard, intensification intricately linked with challenges water scarcity, soil degradation, vagaries climate change. Agroecological like System Intensification (SRI) have been proposed as water-saving sustainable ways...
A research trial was conducted at Agronomy Farm (SKUAST-K, Wadura, Jammu & Kashmir), during kharif 2017 and 2018 to evaluate nutrient removal in rice under various establishment methods weed control measures. The study comprised of two factors: techniques {Transplanting (TPR); Direct seeding (DSR) System intensification (SRI)} as main plot treatments measures {Butachlor @ 1500 g a.i ha−1 (B); Penoxsulam 22.5 (P); Pyrazosulfuron ethyl + Pretilachlor 15 600 (PP); Bensulfuron methyl 60...
Efficacy of new and native species entomopathogenic nematode (EPN), Heterorhabditis casmirica SKUAST-K 104 was evaluated against gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera in laboratory conditions. Larval mortality directly proportional to time period as well but inversely larval size. H. applied @ 50, 100, 150 200 IJs per 2nd instar larva resulted pest by 0.00, 8.33, 16.66, 25.00 cent, respectively at 24 hours they were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) from each other. At inoculum level,...

Boron is a micronutrient essential for plant growth and sexual reproduction. Plant requirements boron are critical but only small amounts needed to provide adequate growth, hence it categorised as micro nutrient. Of the mineral nutrients frequently considered have minor role that does not diminish importance of boron. Considerable research has been directed highlighting in crop production. In this regard an effort made spotlight improved on plants.
Higher demand and cost of labor water shortage have forced the farmers to look for an alternate method cultivation in rice as a substitute existing conventional transplanting. Dry direct seeding emerged better alternatives over transplanting method. These methods not only result saving, but also significant saving rice. are important adaptation strategies impending climate change. However, is confronted with severe weed infestation yield losses if weeds managed well. Against this backdrop,...
A two year study was conducted during rabi seasons of 2009-10 and 2010-11 at Research Farm Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology Kashmir to find out the influence sowing dates, fertility levels cutting management on growth, yield quality oats. The results revealed that September 30 recorded significant improvement in green fodder over October 10 sowing. Crude protein content highest sown crop, whereas crude fibre 20 crop. level 150:70:40 (N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1)...
Abstract Due to increased demand, labor costs, and water scarcity, farmers look for an alternative way of rice cultivation under prevailing conventional transplanting. Direct‐seeded Oryza sativa system intensification (SRI) have been developed as superior substitutes However, if weeds are not controlled properly, the direct seeding method faces serious weed infestation yield losses. In this context, a field study was undertaken during kharif growing seasons evaluate growth O. various crop...
A field experiment was conducted at Mountain Research Centre for Field Crops, Khudwani, SKUAST-Kashmir, during Kharif 2012 and 2013 to evaluate the effect of nutrient management on scented rice growth productivity. Pusa Sugandh-3 recorded significantly higher values parameters, yield attributes grain as compared Mushkbudj. Application RFD + 5 t FYM 2.5 Vermicompost ha- 1 registered with sugandh-3, whereas, Mushkbudji highest 75% ha-1.
A field experiment entitled, “Effect of land configuration and weed management on mungbean productivity under temperate conditions Kashmir” was conducted during Kharif seasons 2014 2015 AICRP MULLaRP. The soil the experimental silty clay in texture, low organic carbon medium nitrogen, phosphorus potassium. consisted two treatments viz., Flat Bed Method (FBM) Ridge method (RM) main plot four Weedy check, Pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg a.i/ha PE, Imazethapyr 10 % SL 55 g/ha at 15 – 20 DAS 30 EC PE fb...
Transplanting rice appears to pose many problems, including depletion of freshwater reservoirs and competition for labor. Conversely, direct seeding allows us overcome shortcomings associated with conventional transplanting. Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient needed plant growth yield. Therefore, this study was executed analyze the influence nitrogen on performance genotypes grown by in wet soil. The experiment comprised various cultivars, i.e., Shalimar Rice-1, Rice-3, Rice-4, Jhelum, (N)...
Agriculture conservation practices such as minimal soil disturbance, permanent covering by crop residues or cover crops, and rotations leads to higher farm productivity. Although agriculture has been adopted in India since its inception, it now successfully used Indo Gangetic Plains irrigated rice-wheat cropping systems recently made known parts of central India. In agricultural system, crops play an important role weed control, but their adoption level is still limited Changes tillage...
Field experiments were conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, SKUAST-Kashmir, Wadura, Jammu and Kashmir during kharif seasons 2017 2018 to assess effect crop establishment methods weed management practices on yield attributes rice (Oryza sativa L.) under temperate conditions Kashmir. The experiment comprised three in main plots [transplanting (TPR), direct seeding (DSR) system intensification (SRI)] seven [butachlor @ 1500 g a.i. ha-1, penoxsulam (@ 22.5 ha-1), pyrazosulfuran ethyl +...
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of age a seedling and sources nutrients on growth yield sweet corn at SKUAST-K during Kharif-2020.

There has been considerable increase in establishing the orchards on elsewhere paddy fields from last few decades and change soil properties are obvious to witness with this land use change. In order ascertain possible survey was carried out three apple growing districts Baramulla, Pulwamma Shopian. Soil samples depths (0-30, 30-60, 60-90 cm) were taken both conventional converted orchards. The texture varied Clay loam silty clay loam. mean of bulk density, porosity, aggregate stability,...
