The trails were conducted on cash crops i.e. sugarcane and cotton. In cotton integrated weed control and in sugarcane Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) technology was popularized among farmers. Horticultural crops covered under study were onion and pomegranate. In the same way in onion crop to reduce the cost of cultivation integrated weed management and in pomegranate to protect the fruits from sun scorching PP Non woven bag technology was demonstrated at farmer’s field.

Jhum or shifting cultivation, which is widespread in the North East India and some parts of Orissa, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh, is a primitive practice of cultivation. It involves clearing vegetative/forest cover on land/slopes of hills, drying and burning it before onset of monsoon and cropping on it thereafter. After harvesting is over, the land is left fallow and vegetation regeneration is allowed on it till the plot becomes reusable for the purpose of cultivation in a cycle.

Linseed and mustard are the most important prehistoric crops in the world, usually cultivated as major rabi oilseeds in India. The major constraints for low productivity are inadequate supply of nutrients and poor production practices. Technological demonstrations on linseed and mustard were conducted at 58 locations covering 24.4 ha area in participatory mode using improved linseed cultivar JLS 9, JLS 23 and mustard (pusa mahak) during 2007-08 to 2011-12.

India is the largest cotton producing country, covers an area of approximately 36 % area representing about 11.3 million hectares under cotton. It also consumes considerable amount of herbicides and pesticides which are biologically active compounds which may lead to the significant changes in the soil microorganisms. Hence, in this study the herbicides viz., pyrithiobac, pendimethalin and pyrithiobac + quizalofop are sprayed as pre-emergence herbicides and the soil samples were collected at squaring, flowering, boll formation and at harvesting stage.

Green house is a polyhouse or plastic house covered with polythene sheet. It is light in weight, easy to handle and cheaper in cost, resistant to hail, frost, over heating as well as very suitable for off-season vegetables cultivation. Vegetable growers can substantially increase their income by cultivation of vegetable under protected condition during off season as the vegetables produced during their normal season generally they do not found good returns due to availability of these vegetables in the market.

Although Green gram is the third important pulse crop, it only covers 3.77 million ha land and having a production of 1.52 million tons which is very low compared to other crops. The pulse is widely used as a protein source and fodder crop. The area covered and production is low due to different factors i.e. unavailability of nutrient rich soil, lack of quality seeds, unsuitable climatic factors, traditional cultivation practices, improper weed management, poor postharvest management etc.

Cowpea [Vigna sinensis (L.) Savi] is an ancient legume crops and major source of protein. The cowpea is affected by various fungal diseases. Among those Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a seed and soil borne fungus causing the anthracnose disease in Cowpea. Most of the promising cowpea cultivars are under a great threat for profitable cultivation due to the attack of Fungi, bacteria, virus and nematodes. The major losses of cowpea are covered by fungi, in which anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is more important.
