Dryland practices

Currently there is a significance interest and emphasis on the shift to the conservation and no-tillage methods for the purpose of controlling erosion process (Adugna, 2019). Tillage is an effective farm activity to improve soil tilth and soil physical conditions (Khan et al., 2010).

Water stress periods are common in rainfed agriculture therefore the activities aimed at conserving the rainwater should be adopted for improving the productivity of dryland crops. The major crops in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra are cotton, soybean and sorghum. It was observed that the drought situation may arise during crop growth period which may result in partial failure of crops. It was therefore felt worthwhile to adopt the proper methods of in-situ moisture conservation so as to partially meet out the adverse effect of water stress in standing crop.

Dryland horticulture constitutes major part in horticulture crop production. Moisture stress is one of the major limiting factor in production of mango in dryland horticulture, since the rainfall is highly erratic and it is not possible to utilize available rainwater efficiently. Mango is one of the major crop grown in Ramanagara district covering an area of 22172 ha. Due to poor soil and water conservation practices in mango moisture retention is low in the soil that affects productivity.

Adoption of improved agricultural practices among the farmers is one of the most critical factors for development of the country. Adoption of improved agricultural practices is a dynamic and complex process. Scientists, extension workers and various other agencies contribute to accelerating the adoption of improved agricultural practices. Each of them has a distinct role in promoting the adoption of improved agricultural practices. Nevertheless, it is the farmers who occupy central position in this scheme because it is they who take the decision to adopt or reject.

The study was conducted in Gulbarga district of North Karnataka. 66.60 per cent of the respondents were observed with medium level of knowledge on cultivation practices in dryland areas of Karnataka. However, majority (50.00%) of the respondents belonged to young age and the respondents had low farming experience (54.20%), followed by medium (40.80%), majority of the respondents had medium perceived attributes (54.10%), of which 54.20 per cent respondents had small farm size, but maximum number of them had medium socio-economic status (54.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2018 at S.V. Agricultural College, dryland farm, Tirupati to test the effect of potassium and zinc on yield and quality of greengram with eight nutrient management practices viz., Control (T1), application of Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) (20-50-0 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 ) (T2), soil application of 40 kg K2O ha-1 along with RDF (T3 ) 25 kg of ZnSO4 ha-1 along with RDF (T4) 40 kg K2O + 25 kg of ZnSO4 ha-1 along with RDF (T5) Foliar application of either KNO3 @ 1.0 % (T6) ZnSO4 @ 0.2 % (T7) along with RDF and KNO3 @ 1.0 % and ZnSO4 @ 0.

Field studies were carried out during the growing season 2015-16 at Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra) to study “Effect of different nutrient management practices and zinc fertilization on various growth and development stages of maize (Zea mays L) under dryland condition”. The treatments were laid out in a randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications.

The present piece of research work was carried out at the field of Dryland (Karewa) Agricultural Research Station, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir during kharif 2017 to determine the effect of planting density and nutrient management practices on the performance of maize hybrids. The experiment comprised of three factors with two maize hybrids viz. Kanchan-101 and Bio-605 as mainplot treatments and two plant geometries viz. 60×20 cm (83,000 plants ha-1 ), 60×15 cm (1,11,111 plants ha-1 ) and three nutrient management practices viz.

Cement manufacturing is an energy-intensive process due to the high temperatures required in the kilns for clinkerization. The use of alternative fuels to replace conventional fuels, in particular coal, is a widespread practice and can contribute to improving the global warming impact and total environmental footprint of the cement industry.

Pesticides are used to protect crops from insects, weeds and diseases both in dryland and irrigated crop production in Viet Nam. However, reliance on pesticides in crop production system has the potential to cause environmental problems due to contamination of waterways and of produce, adversely affecting the Vietnamese environment and human health.
