Response of chemical weed management in maize and cowpea intercropping system grown for quality fodder in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

effect of planting ratio and harvest time on forage quality of maize in maize-cowpea intercropping

to study the effect of planting rates and harvest time on forage quality of maize in maize-cowpea intercropping, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of zabol university, during 2007 and 2008. the experiment was arranged in a 7×2 factorial one in complete randomized block design with 4 replications. the two factors consisted of seven planting ratios of maize and cowpea (100:100, 100...

Response of Salt-Tolerant Rice Varieties to Biocompost Application in Sodic Soil of Eastern Uttar Pradesh

Sodic soils have immense productivity potential, if managed through proper technology interventions. Biocompost is prepared by composting pressmud (a sugar industry byproduct) received from cane juice filtration and spent wash received from distilleries through microbial aerobic decomposition and can be used to reclaim sodic soils. Field experiments were conducted during the wet season of 2011 ...

Integrated Weed Management in Maize

Influence of Conservation Agriculture,permanent Raised Bed Planting and Residue Management on Soil Quality and Productivity in Maize-wheat System in Western Uttar Pradesh

Conservation agriculture in its version of permanent raised bed planting with crop residue retention has been proposed as an alternative wheat production system of western Uttar Pradesh.Therefore the present work was undertaken during 2008-2011 to compare permanent and tilled raised beds with different residue management under irrigated conditions. Permanent beds with residue retention resulted...

An evaluation of yield in "intercropping of maize and potato"

Abstract To find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications in the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, Zanjan University in year 2004. Different potato to maize ratios of (1:0), i...
