The treatments consisted of three systems of cultivation i.e., transplanted rice with spacing of 15 cm x 10 cm, wet direct seeded rice (Drum seeding) with a spacing of 30 cm x 6-8 cm and dry direct seeded rice at 30 cm x 5 cm row spacing in main plots and four varieties i.e., RNR 11718, JGL 11118, JGL 24423 and RNR 15048 in sub plots. Experimental data revealed that wet DSR recorded superior growth parameters, yield and yield attributing characters i.e., plant height, number of tillers, number of effective tillers m-2, grain yield and straw yield compared to other systems of cultivation. Significantly higher grain and straw yield was recorded with wet DSR system which was on par with transplanted rice and significantly superior to dry DSR. Among varieties JGL 24...

This project was launched by the Prime Minister on the foundation day of ICAR in 2015 and implemented through Krishi Vigyan Kendras in 25 states of the country. Under this scheme, special efforts will be taken to attract the rural youth under the age of 35years in agriculture and allied sector so the increase in the migration of rural youth towards cities can be controlled. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kampasagar will be the locale of the study because initially ARYA project was implemented through KVKs in 25 states of the country. In Telangana, Nalgonda is the only district in which this project was initiated in 2015. In Nalgonda district, under KVK Kampasagar 60 respondents (beneficiaries of ARYA Project) were selected purposively to study the constrain...

In Asia, more than two billion people are getting 60-70 per cent of their energy requirement from rice and its derived products. In India, rice occupies an area of 44 million hectare with an average production of 90 million tonnes with productivity of 2.0 tonnes per hectare. Demand for rice is growing every year and it is estimated that in 2010 and 2025 AD the requirement would be 100 and 140 million tonnes respectively. To sustain present food self-sufficiency and to meet future food requirements, India has to increase its rice productivity by 3 per cent per annum [21]. Rice cultivation requires large quantity of water and for producing one kg rice, about 3000 5000 litres of water depending on the different rice cultivation methods such as transplanted rice, direct sown rice (wet seeded), alternate wetting and drying method (AWD), system of rice intensification (SRI) and aerobic rice. Owing to inc...

The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design replicated thrice with three rice varieties (Vasumathi, Krishnahamsa and KRH-2) and with six nutrient management practices [100% RDN through inorganic fertilizer; 75% RDN (inorganic) + 25% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 50% RDN (inorganic) + 50% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 25% RDN (inorganic) + 75% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 100% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; Control (No manure and no fertilizer)] under System of Rice Intensification (SRI).). The results revealed that hybrid KRH-2 performed better in terms of growth and development of the crop, yield components resulting in significantly higher grain and straw yields. Among the different nutrient management practices, application of 50 percent recommended dose of nitrogen (through urea) and remaining 50 percent RDN through vermicompost r...

The experiment was laid in split plot design replicated thrice to assess the performance of three rice varieties (Vasumathi, Krishnahamsa and KRH-2) in main plots and to find the best management practices with six nutrient management practices [100% RDN through inorganic fertilizer; 75% RDN (inorganic) + 25% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 50% RDN (inorganic) + 50% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 25% RDN (inorganic) + 75% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; 100% RDN (organic) through vermicompost; Control (No manure and no fertilizer)] in sub-plots under System of Rice Intensification (SRI).The results revealed that hybrid KRH-2 recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield as well as nutrient uptake. Among the different nutrient management options, application of 50 percent recommended dose of nitrogen (through urea) and remaining 50 percent RDN through vermicompost resulted in significantly higher grain (5520.8 kg/ ha) and straw yield (6264.9 kg/ ha) in addition to nutrient uptake (157.9,30.7 and 166 N, P and K kg/ha respectively) followed by 100 % RDN (through urea) application. In terms of economics, hybrid KRH-2 with 50% RDN (inorganic) + 50% RDN (organic) through vermicompost recorded, respectively, higher gross and net returns (Rs 70,013 and 46,398/ha) but the maximum B: C ratio (2.07) was found associated with the hybrid KRH-2 in combination with 100% RDN (through urea).

The results of the study revealed that, among the growth characters like plant height, number of leaves, total dry matter per plant increased with increase in the fertility levels at each growth stages. Further, the results also indicated that, increases in growth characters were significantly higher in KBSH-1 when compared to Morden. The study also focus on number of seeds per capitulum (860), test weight (45.53 g), yield per plant (31.90 g) and oil yield (516 kg/ha) were observed significant in KBSH-1 genotype over Morden. However, the study also shows that, among the different fertility levels, application of 90:60:30 kg NPK/ha resulted in significantly higher plant height, higher ...

Tomato is an important vegetable crop in the district but the yields are not up to expectations due to poor quality, early decay, pests and disease incidence. An effort was made by KVK, Wyra to address the problem of reducing pests and disease incidence and improving the fruit quality by introduction of technology Trellis method of cultivation in tomato. This was tested on small scale for 3years with the help of On-farm trials with limited number of farmers. It was proved to be profitable hence this technology was up-scaled and disseminated on large scale with the help of front line demonstrations as the main thrust areas of KVKs are refinement and demonstration of novel technologies, training of farmers and extension functionaries.

To increase the productivity, the major input i.e., water plays a very important role in any production system. And it is already known fact that the fresh water availability is decreasing day-by-day and the share of water to agriculture is diminishing sharply. To meet the demand of ever increasing population, and changing living standards and dietary needs, we need to produce more and more cereals/pulses/oilseeds. Another major changing consumption pattern in urban areas is of use of more and more non-vegetarian dishes, which in turn requires to product more and more these crops to feed chick and animals which requires all these food in balanced proportion. Various organizations estimate that a 70-100% increase in these food crops production is required over the next 25-30 years. There is also a common understanding that 80-90% of this increase will have to come from existing cultivated land and only 10-20% from land reclamation. However, due to urbanization, desertification,

They require low artificial fertilizers application and show minimal vulnerability to environmental stresses. There is need to revive the importance of millet groups as health foods to enhance food and nutritional security. Millets contain high amounts of proteins, fiber, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin, methionine, lecithin and little of vitamin E. They are rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium also. Millets due to their nutritive value have potential health benefits to prevent cancers, decrease the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, reduce tumor proliferation, lower blood pressure, risk of heart diseases, cholesterol content, rate of fat absorption, delayed gastric emptying and increased gastrointestinal bulk. Value-addition to millet grains as ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook...
