Weed control poses substantial difficulties for winter season onion ( Allium cepa L.) cultivation in the north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains, primarily due to constrained efficacy of existing herbicides. To address this issue, a 2-year field study was conducted assess pre- and post-emergence herbicides (pendimethalin, ethoxysulfuron, imazethapyr, quizalofop-p-ethyl) individually combination with crop residue mulch weed onion. The results revealed that using or mulches isolation did not...
Presently sugarcane is grown on 0.84 million hectares in Punjab and according to planners’ area under this sweet crop should be enhanced squeeze some from water guzzling paddy, because it considered as important diversification module second vital agro-industrial after cotton. Long waiting period, higher seed cost (‘25000 -‘30000 per ha), delayed payment arrears by millers the farmer, etc. are bottlenecks spread of newer niches. To overcome problem rate unit an idea single bud chip planting...
India is the first country in having a maximum area under cotton crop, second yarn production and third raw world. However, entire picked by human labour involving about 517 man h/ha. A 3-row finger type stripper single row picker have been developed indigenously cost economics has calculated as per standard procedure to determine feasibility economic viability of machines. It estimated that break-even point (BEP) on an basis for was 1255 1543 ha respectively. The payback period year found...
