The study of physico-chemical properties of grains is a basic step in any research and it is important to maintain end product quality and to determine consumer acceptability. Evaluation of nutritional values of different sorghum genotypes help sorghum breeders for improvement of varieties based on nutritional aspects.

The field experiment was conducted the year 2014-2015 on the old long-term fertilizer experiment started since 1983 to assess characterization of humus in soil and it’s relation with physical and physic-chemical properties of soil under the long – term effect of integrated nutrient management in sorghum wheat cropping system. The study showed that there was fraction of humus tended to decrease with depth and use of organics like subabul and FYM in conjunction with NPK fertilizers exerted a remarkable impact on the distribution and built up of humus fractions in soil.

Sorghum grains are mostly used for the roti preparation. The M 35-1 (Maldhandi) a sorghum cultivar is known for its good quality of roti due to having pearly white grain colour, its flour having higher water holding capacity, and good organoleptic taste. However, this cultivar is low yielder. To evolve sorghum high yielding hybrid genotype coupled with good roti qualities, systematic breeding program was planned and executed to overcome this problem.

Sorghum commonly is eaten with the hull (the outer layer of the grain), which retains the majority of the nutrients. Sorghum has excellent chemical and physical properties, which make it a grain of good quality for processing different types of products. The nutrient composition of sorghum grain indicates that it is a good source of carbohydrates, fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. Sorghum contains about 70 per cent starch, so is a good energy source.

A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the biological properties of saline soils grown with different cultivars of sorghum during rabi 2015-2016 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Agricultural College, Bapatla. Soils of different salinity (1.5, 5, 8 and 12 dS m-1 of ECe) collected from Uppugunduru region were tested using three cultivars (Hytech, Laxmi and Mahalaxmi) in completely randomized design with factorial concept replicating thrice.

Mushroom cultivation is gaining popularity in recent times because of its medicinal and nutritive value. Shiitake mushroom which is popularly known for medicinal property is cultivated worldwide and also gaining importance in Indian conditions. The large scale agro residues generated in India is not utilised economically and hence this investigation was carried out on such agro residues.

The laboratory experiment was conducted at seed unit, UAS, Raichur to study the effect of intercropping system and fertilizer dose on seed quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The experiment consists of four intercropping systems viz., sole chickpea, chickpea + sorghum (4:2), chickpea + safflower (4:2), chickpea + linseed (4:2) and three fertilizer doses includes 100 %, 125 % and 150 % RDF. The results revealed that among intercropping systems, significantly highest seed germination (93.44 %), seedling length (30.02 cm), seedling dry weight (518.

A study was undertaken to evaluate eight soil series belonging to Kabirabad 2 microwatershed in Bidar district in Northern Eastern Transition Zone of Karnataka State for sustainable land use planning. Seven soil series were tentatively identified and mapped into eight mapping units using GIS technique. These mapping units were grouped into land capability class II and VI with limitations of erosion, drainage and physico-chemical properties.
