The human population on the planet is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050; this requires significant increase of food production to meet the demands. Intensified farming systems have been identified as a viable means to increase grain production. Crop production inputs include carbon investment in the form of energy, for the manufacture and use of farm machinery, synthetic fertilizers, crop protection chemicals such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, groundwater irrigation and the direct use of fuel in farm operations.

The trails were conducted on cash crops i.e. sugarcane and cotton. In cotton integrated weed control and in sugarcane Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) technology was popularized among farmers. Horticultural crops covered under study were onion and pomegranate. In the same way in onion crop to reduce the cost of cultivation integrated weed management and in pomegranate to protect the fruits from sun scorching PP Non woven bag technology was demonstrated at farmer’s field.

The field experiments on green gram was carried out during four consecutive years 2016 to 2019 at farmer’s field of Bikaner districts under cluster frontline demonstrations conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bikaner to evaluate improved technology for enhancing the productivity and economics of green gram crop. Two treatments were evaluated at 25 farmers and comprised of improved technology (i.e. high yielding varieties, seed treatment, timely sowing, recommended fertilizer management, plant protection measures and irrigation management compared with farmer’s practice.

Soil quality assessment is of paramount importance to know the appropriate management practices to be adopted for sustainable crop production. Sustainability of intensive agriculture system is intimately linked to maintenance of soil health. Present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of intensive cultivation on soil health under polyhouses located in Bilaspur, Solan and Sirmaur districts of Himachal Pradesh. Studies reveal that the bulk density ranged from 1.09 to 1.13 Mg m-3 .

Sustainable agriculture has become a burning issue due to “energy crisis” and “environmental protection”. One aspect of sustainable agriculture is Integrated Nutrient Management (INM). Many regions in India like Kashmir, Himachal and other hilly regions have huge potential for quality flower production. Since floriculture is energy and cost intensive type of farming, the input cost of fertilisers is very high, which can be avoided by going for alternative methods like INM.

Biotic and abiotic stresses exert a serious impact on crop productivity throughout the world. The alternate strategy is to introduce tolerant microbes into plants under stress conditions. Intensive research attempts are underway to improve plant growth, enhance tolerance level against these stresses and protect plants by using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) which have a great potential for sustainable crop production.

Production of biofuels, especially bio-ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, holds remarkable potential to meet the current energy demand as well as to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions for a sustainable clean environment. Rice is one of the most important agricultural crops in India. Rice straw is an important residue which is generated in large amount in India. Every kilogram of grain harvesting is accompanied by the production of rice straw to a tune of 1.0–1.5 kg. Major proportion of the rice straw is burnt in the field itself.

The rapidly increasing population is exerting immense pressure on agricultural lands for higher crop yields, which results in increasing use of chemical fertilizers. That’s why fungicides are widely used in agricultural crop production system for quick result and to ensure crop quality and production. However, the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals resulted in adverse effect on the soil fertility, quality of produce, crop productivity and cause adverse effects to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem.

In order to feed increasing population there is need of solution which can provide quick result which is possible with fungicides. Fungicides are necessary evils to kill unwanted pest and disease causing organisms in the agro-ecosystem. These are indispensible tool for protecting the crops and increasing food production. Soil applications of fungicides have been frequently used to control soil borne fungal diseases. Fungicides are used for killing or inhibiting the growth of fungus.
