Efficient nutrient management in rice, tillage and establishment of toria and sweet corn, were identified in two years (2018-19 and 2019-20) replicated field experiment conducted at Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The treatments comprising of three nutrient management [N1: 100% Soil Test Based Nitrogen Recommendation (STBNR), N2: 75% STBNR + in situ green manuring of Dhaincha (GM) and N3: 50% STBNR + GM in rice, two rice varieties (V1: ‘Manaswini’ of 130 d duration and V2: ‘Hasanta’ of 145 d duration) and three crop establishment methods in toria viz., E1: Zero Till-Flat Bed (ZT-FB), E2: Conventional Till-Flat Bed (CT-FB) and E3: Conventional Till-Furrow Irrigat...

The treatments comprising of three nutrient management [N1: 100% Soil Test Based Nitrogen Recommendation (STBNR), N2: 75% STBNR + in situ green manuring of Dhaincha (GM) and N3: 50% STBNR + GM in rice, two rice varieties (V1: ‘Manaswini’ of 130 d duration and V2: ‘Hasanta’ of 145 d duration) and three crop establishment methods in toria viz., E1: Zero Till-Flat Bed (ZT-FB), E2: Conventional Till-Flat Bed (CT-FB) and E3: Conventional Till-Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed (CT-FIRB) were tried in split plot design with four replications. Sweet corn was grown after toria following the same lay out. Application of 75% STBNR+GM proved to be the best with the maximum system rice equivalent yield (REY) of 21.10...

The three levels fertigation, i.e. recommended dose (125-75-100 kg N-P2O5-K2O/ha) of fertiliser (RDF), 80% RDF and 60% RDF and four types of emitters, viz. online pressure compensating, online nonpressure compensating, inline pressure compensating and inline non-pressure compensating drippers were tested in split-plot design with three replications. Water soluble fertilisers, viz. urea, urea phosphate with sulphate of potash and sulphate of potash were used for fertigation. The maximum fruit yield of 59.8 t/ha, water-use efficiency of 21.17 kg/m3 water, benefit:cost ratio of 3.75 and internal rate of return of 62.16% and the minimum payback period of 2.26 years were recorded in fertigation with 100% RDF through online pressure ...

The treatments comprising three establishment methods(Direct Seeded Rice, Non Puddled Transplanted Rice and Puddled Transplanted rice) and three variety/hybrids of rice ('Arize 6129', 'Arize 6444' and 'Swarna') were tried in split plot design with three replications. The Puddled Transplanted Rice (PTR) recorded the maximum rice equivalent yield (8.43 t ha-1) for post kharif rice-cowpea which was at par with NPTR (8.34 t ha-1) and the minimum of 6.85 t ha-1 was recorded under Direct Seeded Rice (DSR). The total cowpea biomass yield was the maximum under NPTR and the minimum under DSR. The maximum gross return of 1,20,380/-, total energy output of 2,25,045 MJ ha-1 and energy use efficiency of 8.59 was recorded under PTR, NPTR and DSR, respectively. Uptake of nitrogen was higher under NPTR while phosphorus and potassium uptake values were higher under PTR. The rice cultivar/hybrids grown in kharif had no significant effect on yield, economics, energetics and uptake of nutrient, but hybrid 'Arize 6129' recorded higher mean values than hybrid 'Arize 6444' and cv. 'Swarna'.

The treatment comprised establishment methods, viz. direct seeded rice (DSR) and non-puddled transplanted rice (NPTR); 3 water regimes, viz. no stress, 10 and 40 kPa; and 5 cultivars, viz. ‘Lalat’, ‘Sahbhagi Dhan’, ‘Arize® 6129’, ‘US 323’, and ‘Arize® 6444’. Experiment was conducted in 3 times replicated split-split plot design. Under no stress treatment irrigation was done as soon as the ponded water disappeared and in other 2 treatments, irrigation was given when tensiometer readings were 10 kPa and 40 kPa. Results showed that similar grain yield was recorded in DSR and NPTR. Higher grain yield was obtained under no stress (7.0 t/ha) followed by 10 kPa (6.2 t/ha) and 40 kPa (4.6 t/ha). Among the varieties ‘Arize® 6444’ recorded m...

From the experiment it was revealed that in all cases the SML-668 variety was superior to the Local variety i.e. Nayagarh Local. Sowing the crop on 31 January resulted higher yield (568 and 2139 kg/ha seed and haulm yield respectively) as well as higher nutrient uptake (39.68, 6.88 and 43.27 kg/ha N, P and K respectively) as compared to early and late date of sowing. The weed management study also found out to be in favour of application of pendimethalin 1.0kg/ha as pre-emergence(PE) enhancing the yield (582 and 2159 kg/ha seed and haulm yield respectively) along with nutrient uptake of (38.81, 6.91 and 42.47 kg/ha N, P and K respectively).Al...

In summer, the experiment was conducted for baby corn (mays L.) with in situ green manuring of ricebean (umbellata L.) consisting of two levels i.e. without and with green manuring and three levels of phosphorus (P) i.e. 0, 30 and 60 kg PO ha supplied through single super phosphate. In, the baby corn was sown with 80 kg N, 40 kg PO and 40 kg KO. Bulk density (BD), porosity, organic carbon (OC), available nitrogen (N), P and soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), nitrogen (SMBN) and phosphorus (SMBP) were significantly influenced by green manure and phosphorus in summer. The residual green manure also enhanced the physical, chemical and microbial properties of the soil, but residual P had effect over available P only. Negative correlation existed between ...

Due to Monocropping, this system has suffered from deterioration in soil health and micronutrient deficiency. Rice-rice system occupies the 2nd position with an of area 5.89 m ha after rice-wheat cropping system which occupies an area of 11 m ha in India. Rice-rice system is no longer productive in Southeast Asia.Transplanting after puddling has been a major traditional method of rice establishment. Repeated puddling adversely affects soil physical properties by dismantling soil aggregates, reducing permeability in subsurface layers, and forming hard-pans at shallow depths which make land preparation becomes difficult and requires more energy to achieve proper soil tilth for succeeding crops. Excessive pumping of water for puddling in peak summers also resulted in declining water table. Rice production with transplanting method has been limited by a ...
