Continuous use of chemical fertilizers without organic sources poses soil health issues whereas organic manures using alone without inorganics could not be able to fulfill the requirement of high nutrient demanding crops due to the bulk and slow-acting nature of these organic fertilizer sources. However, neither organic fertilizers nor inorganic fertilizers alone can maintain productivity. The major yield limiting factors in crops production in Indian soils are NPS deficiencies.

Soil erosion depletes the productive layer of soil which is an ultimate resource for all agricultural activities. Since erosion rate varies with watershed characteristics, a study of soil and water dynamics at a watershed level can facilitate a scientific approach toward their conservation and management. The study involves obtaining peak runoff and input parameters (K,LS,C & P) of Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) integrating GIS platform to estimate soil loss...

The use of resource management technologies such as zero tillage, which can affect the soil properties, can restore soil health that is degrading at a rapid pace due to intensive agriculture, inefficient and imbalanced use of fertilisers, high-yielding crops, the use of heavy machinery, excessive tillage, etc. The health of the soil can be measured by the capacity of microorganisms that can act as early warning signals. To improve soil quality, zero tillage is recommended globally and has significant effects on soil microbial communities.

Rice residues are important natural resources, and recycling of these residues improves the soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Management of rice straw is a major challenge as it is considered to be a poor feed for the animals due to high silica content. A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 to review the suitable rice residue management practices and nutrient dynamics by using combine harvester operated rice field after cultivating rice.

Geoinformatics is application of information technology for study and management of earth resources. The salt affected soils of Gohana were mapped and evaluated using visual interpretation of IRS-P6 satellite false colour composite (FCC) image with ground survey and laboratory analysis. A total of 72 soil samples across the study area were sampled based on the quality of groundwater used for irrigation at four depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-45 and 45-60 cm). Long-term irrigation with salt affected water results in soil quality decline.

The present study deals with the application of remote sensing and GIS for mapping of land resources of Nagenahalli watershed in Bangalore rural district of Karnataka. Base maps, google earth images, toposheets and satellite imagery (1:12,500 scale) collected from Karnataka State Remote Sensing Application Centre, Bangalore have been used in the study. Maps on various themes, viz., land use, drainage, soil, slope, depth etc. have been generated using aforementioned satellite data coupled with ground truth.

Groundnut production depends on the genetic potential of the cultivar and the cultural practices to which the crop is subjected. There are several constraints in groundnut production viz. fertilizer, plant protection and weed management often pose serious problems. Therefore, present study was carried out to focus on such limiting factors individually or in combination which may cause more yield reduction under resource constraint. The study was formulated on lateritic soils of konkan at Agricultural Research Station, Shirgaon, Tal. Dist.

The by-products obtained from the coconut industry goes out as waste and pollute the environment, if not properly managed. In order to convert these by-products such as coir pith and coco peat into a natural organic resource, it is processed and utilized as an economical input in agriculture as well as in horticulture. Processed coir pith is used as an excellent soil amendment because of its favourable physical properties in maintaining soil health.

Planning strategies for sustainable land management require solid base line data on natural resources (soils, physiography, climate, vegetation, land use, etc.) and on socio-economic aspects. Extensive and reliable information on soil and land resources are prerequisites for efficient and effective management planning of these vital natural resources. Generation of large-scale spatial database on soil and land resources by conventional method is a time consuming and highly expensive process.

Adverse climatic changes and increasing demand of agro produces are forcing abuse of natural and artificial resources resulting not only in deterioration of soil health but also reduction in crop yields. In addition, rainfed crops add to the adversity. In presence of these issues, to increase the yield of majorly grown crops in Yavatmal and Amaravati districts, an effort has been made by following sustainable and integrated crop management practices in two subsequent years i.e. 2016-17 and 2017-18.

Supply of good quality and adequate quantities of fodder play an important role in improving the health and productivity of animals. Green and dry fodders are cheaper sources than concentrate feed, hence its inclusion would curtail the cost of feed purchase. Unfortunately, in our country there is acute scarcity of green and dry fodder mainly due to very less area available for its cultivation. In future also there are less chances to increase area under forage cultivation because of heavy pressure of burgeoning human and livestock population on meager land.
