Staggered sowing

Effect of date of sowing and cutting schedule on fodder yield and quality of oats was studied at two location during rabi 2016-17. Treatments comprised of 4 sowing dates (10th & 25th of Oct. and Nov.) and two cutting schedules (one cut 50/60 DAS). Results revealed that crop sown on 1st and 2nd date gave similar fodder yield but significantly higher than the later dates. Cutting the crop 65 days after sowing produced higher fodder yield than cutting 50 DAS, though with slight deterioration in quality.

Hybrid rice has been a successful and widely adopted technology that has increased rice production in China since early 80’s of the last century. But in India inspite of development of several successful hybrids the technology has not been widely adopted and is cultivated in select regions only. West Bengal is the largest producer of rice. But hybrid rice is cultivated in a very limited area. There is urgent need to adopt the hybrid rice technology to enhance the production level to meet the ever increasing food demand.

A field experiment was carried out during Kharif 2016 at the Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to investigate the effect of staggered sowings and application of additional dose of nitrogen to late parent on synchronization of male and female parents of pearl millet hybrid BPMH-3. The field experiment comprised of twelve treatments with three replications in split plot design.

A field experiment was conducted during 2016 and 2017 at Agricultural Research Station, Malagi, UAS, Dharwad to know the effect of seeding interval and transplanting age on seed yield and seed quality in KRH-4 hybrid rice. The results revealed that, the transplanting of seedlings at the age of 18 days recorded the highest number of productive tillers (9.47 and 10.52), highest seed yield per hectare (838 kg, 888 kg) whereas, the early sowing of pollen parent by 2 days ensured better synchrony with higher seed set per cent (18.11 %, 18.54 %) and seed yield per hectare (1170 kg, 1225 kg).
