Four cultivars of sorghum were tested under three in situ moisture conservation practices during kharif seasons of 2015 and 2016 at Kanpur. Results revealed that the organic residue mulch @ 4 t ha-1 on soil surface in between the crop rows after 25 days of sowing brought out significant improvement in crop canopy development and yields over ridging and furrowing in between the crop rows at 25 DAS and farmer's practice (control).

The present study investigated the effects of organic and plastic mulching on root development and nodulation related biometric properties of cowpea determined at different stages of crop growth (60 DAS and at harvest after 90 DAS). At 60 DAS and 90 DAS (at harvest stage), majority of the root development parameters such as root length, number of secondary roots/lateral roots, root weight with nodules, root weight without nodules were recorded highest in plants grown under organic mulch treatments with different level of drip irrigation.

An experiment was conducted at Department of Agronomy, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Killikulam to achieve enhanced remuneration and profit margin in irrigated finger millet through intercropping and mulching. Among mulching, the highest gross return (Rs.68,336/- ha-1 ) and B:C ratio of 2.16 was obtained in rice straw mulch (M1) which was followed by M2 (shredded coconut waste mulch) with a gross return of Rs.63,635/- ha-1 and B:C ratio of 2.01. Similar trend in net return was observed because of higher crop yield.

The surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were used for analyzing the soil properties. The soil properties were determined using soil analytical methods given by Jackson (1973). Organic carbon content determined by wet digestion method of Walkley and Black, available nitrogen (N) by Kjeldahl’s method, available phosphorous (P) by Bray and Kurtz method and available potassium (K) by flame photometric method. The data collected on various parameters have been statistically analysed as per the method of Panse and Sukhatme (1978).

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) can be grown best under tropical and subtropical conditions of our country. It is of great importance because its fruits have medicinal value. As it is a warm season crop, factors like high temperature, excessive soil humidity, excessive salinity, water stress adversely affect the crop growth and yield.

In an investigation carried out at the Horticultural Research Station of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar during 2012-13 and 2013-14 banana was tried along with 4 intercrops, Glyricidia maculeata leaf manure and polyethylene mulch to mitigate the effects of reducing soil quality and productivity and improve farm profitability. Green manuring crops in the banana plantation improved soil organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon and available nutrients of the soil besides maintaining overall soil quality.
