  • Efficacy of herbicides on performance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in western Rajasthan
    L K JAIN, H P PAREWA
    Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022
    An experiment was conducted from winter (rabi) season 2017–18 to winter (rabi) season 2020–21 at the research farm of College of Agriculture, Sumerpur, Pali, Rajasthan to find out the efficacy of herbicides in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) on sandy loam soils of western Rajasthan. The experiment comprised of 8 treatments with 4 replications in randomized block design (RBD) using cultivar RSG 974. The application of pendimethalin 30 ec @750 g/ha as pre-emergence (PE) recorded mean maximum seed yield of 15.02 q/ha followed by PE application of metalachlor 50 ec @1000 g/ha (12.52 q/ha) and were significantly superior over rest of herbicidal treatments. A similar trend was also found in weed parameters, growth and yield attributes under study. The mean maximum net returns (49112 `/ha) and a benefit to cost ratio (2.19) was recorded with pendimethalin 30 ec @750 g/ha as pre-emergence followed by treatment metalachlor 50 ec @1000 g/ha as pre-emergence (1.95) as against minimum in weedy check (0.89) during study period. Although, hoeing twice at 25 and 40 DAS gave higher seed yield (17.69 q/ha) and significantly superior over rest of treatments except in net return and B:C ratio.
  • Residual effect of organic weed and organic nutrient management practices on weeds parameters, growth attributes, yield and economics of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.)
    Research on Crops, 2021
    The organic nutrient and weed management practices applied in maize and their residual efficiency was seen in succeeding mustard crop in respect of weed management and productivity of mustard. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during rabi 2019- 20 and 2020-21 at College of Agriculture, Sumerpur, Rajasthan, India to see the residual impact of various weed and nutrient management practices on mustard applied in maize during preceding kharif season. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design, with organic weed management in main plots and organic nutrient management practices in subplots. The crop was raised as residual after main crop of maize. All the treatments were applied in maize during kharif season as per prescribed treatments. The different organic weed and nutrient management treatments did not influence the weed density and weed dry matter of various categories of weeds recorded at 30 DAS. The plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of primary branches and length of silique of mustard was maximum in 100% RDN through FYM in pooled study at different growth stages of crop. This treatment also significantly increased grain (2174 kg/ha) and straw yield (5858 kg/ha) of mustard as well as net return (Rs. 68575/ha) and B:C (2.91) as against the mean minimum in 100% RDN through vermicompost. Thus, application of FYM in preceding season crop has a pronounced effect on productivity of succeeding crop while cultural and mechanical methods of weed control does not have any residual effect.

  • Remote sensing techniques and its application in arid zones of India

    Environmental Information Systems Concepts Methodologies Tools and Applications, 2018
    Remote sensing technologies offer the potential for contributing the security to human existence on arid zones in the country in variety of ways. Remote Sensing in agriculture particularly for natural resource management. It provides important coverage, mapping and classification of land cover features. The remote view of the sensor and the ability to store, analyze, and display the sensed data on field maps are make remote sensing a potentially important tool for agriculture. The aerial photography gives two main advantages viz., speedy survey in very large area or remote area and precise description and recording of resources status. Remotely sensed images provide a means to assess field conditions and gave valuable insights into agronomic management. It led to understanding of leaf reflectance and leaf emittance changes in response to leaf thickness, species, canopy shape, leaf age, nutrient status, and water status. Understanding of leaf reflectance has led to quantify various agronomic parameters, e.g., leaf area, crop cover, biomass, crop type, nutrient status, and yield.

  • Scenario of quality potato production in Rajasthan
    Lokesh Kumar Jain
    Sustainable Potato Production and the Impact of Climate Change, 2016
    Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important non-traditional tuber crops of Rajasthan. The potato tuber is a modified stem developed underground on a specialized structure called stolen. It contributes to food and nutritional security and provide cheap source of vegetable. It is used either alone or intermingled with other vegetables. It is also consumed as many fried salted food items. Potato is a highly nutritious, easily digestible, wholesome food. In Rajasthan, where varied climatic conditions promoting cultivation of almost every crops and vegetables, the economic conditions of growers, lack of storage facilities and lack of improved technologies for the state remain as bottleneck for its cultivation. In this chapter I tried to elaborate the constraints and possible suggestion for increasing cultivation of potato which is fairly to highly responsive to inputs supplied and gave cash returns in short periods.
