Of late, rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola has emerged as a major threat throughout the world due to its adoptable nature, broad host range and ability of causing potential yield loss. The losses caused by M. graminicola may vary from 16-80 %. The daignostic symptoms of root knot disease of rice are, stunted growth, yellowing, and gall formation on the roots of rice plants. The degree of symptom manifestation depends on several factors, viz., time of infection, age of the plants and load of inoculums.

Use of probiotics for the control of post-harvest diseases has opened new avenue in the management of post-harvest plant pathogens and organic farming. Such probiotics has never been used in the crop production or crop protection programme in Agriculture. The post-harvest pathogens particularly Rhizopus, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria can be checked as a post-harvest pathogen by sprays of probiotics under natural field conditions when the load of inoculums of these post-harvest pathogens is less in fruits.

Crop regulation studies were undertaken on Kinnow trees of 8th and 9th year which have started declining due to heavy crop load in the previous year to maintain the tree health and vigour for continuous production. Plano-fix (NAA) was used to thin the fruitlets in 0, 250, 300 and 350 ppm at fruitlets stage after fruit set. The experiment was laid on Randomized Block Design, replicated four times, two trees served as a unit of treatment. Applications of 350 ppm Plano-fix (NAA) decreased crop load via fruitlet thinning. It improved vegetative growth, tree vigour, fruit size & quality.

High yield potentiality of summer rice motivates farmers in West Bengal to grow rice even in summer season. Summer rice receives few fold higher irrigation over other aerable crops. Farmers of this area irrigate 1300-1400 mm water for summer rice. In Nadia district of West-Bengal during summer season, the main source of irrigation water is ground water which contains high amount (0.098-0.345 mgL-1 ) of arsenic which is responsible for higher arsenic concentration in grain and straw.

Proper tillage, precise placement and optimum coverage of seeds and fertilizers in the moist zone of soil are most critical for successful crop establishment. The present work was therefore taken up to study the soil coverage in the furrow with a developed furrow covering device with shovel and shoe type furrow opener. Experiments were conducted in the test soil bin with the three types of furrow openers like plain shovel, shovel with shoe and shovel+shoe+covering attachment with load of 5 kg to determine the performance on soil coverage and draft requirement.

In the present study, highest TSS content was recorded in ferigation treatment F1 (14.32o Brix), pruning treament while it was not affected by pruning and crops load treatments. Among all fertigation treatments, the highest total sugar (9.24 %) was registered in fertigation treatment F1 while highest total sugar was recorded in pruning treatment P1 (8.82 %) and among crops load, C1 treatment recorded highest sugar content (9.14 %).

An experiment was carried out in the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2017-18 in order to evaluate the effect of phosphate solubilizers on the activity of different enzymes and microbial parameters in the soil and its impact on crop growth and yield of test crop tomato var. Vellayani Vijai. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with fourteen treatments and three replications. Treatments were the combinations of four doses of P (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%) along with P solubilizers (AMF, Pseudomonas, and Bacillus.).

Proper matching of implements with any type of tractor and the performance evaluation with its combination is very much important to minimize the expenditure in farming operations. An improper matching of tractor-implement combination produced an under loading of engine and hence higher operating costs and poor efficiency. For small farm holding, large tractors are not economical for cutting of stubbles of crops due to excessive operation cost. The main disadvantage of using large tractor is excessive waste of power and high fuel consumption.

A field experiment was conducted with wheat to study the effect of tillage operations on the changes of the CO2- balance and reflection thereof, if any, on the yield of the crop. The organic sources in the form of decomposed paddy straw and farm yard manure (FYM) were applied in soil and the changes of the CO2-in and CO2-out were observed at the conventional (CT) and zero tillage (ZT) practices. The maximum level of CO2-in (914.06 ppm) and CO2-out (859.43 ppm) were recorded under the CT.
