A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of intercrops in respect weed suppression and chemical methods for effective control pigeon pea green gram based intercropping systems.The aim this stydy assess most suitable management practices pigeonpea + system.Results revealed that relative density dicot weeds lower than monocot did not show any significant effect on dynamics systems wh...

Context Rotations in rainfed farming systems of southwest Australia have shifted towards intensified cropping and it is necessary to reassess soilborne pathogens plant parasitic nematodes within this context. Aims We tested the hypothesis that these recent changes rotations agronomy altered efficacy with which reduce incidence common root nematodes. Methods tracked pathogen DNA soil severity cr...

The sensitivity of agricultural output to climate change has often been estimated by modelling crop yields under climate change scenarios or with statistical analysis of the impacts of year-to-year climatic variability on crop yields1,2. However, the areaof croplandandthenumberof cropsharvestedpergrowing season (cropping frequency) both also a ect agricultural output and both also show sensitiv...

Cropping systems and management practices that improve soil health may greatly enhance crop productivity. Four different potato cropping designed to address specific goals of conservation (SC), improvement (SI), disease suppression (DS), a status quo (SQ) standard rotation, along with non-rotation (PP) control, were evaluated for their effects on growth, nutrient, yield characteristics under bo...

in this research, geographical information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) were applied to agricultural land use suitability of aq-qala township for barley cropping in rainfed condition. for this purpose, 17 environmental layers of the study area collected, and thematic maps such as slope, elevation, precipitation, average, minimum and maximum temperatures and some of micro ...

Agriculture has been rightly termed as India's soul, the only sector holding a positive GDP even during COVID 19 pandemic. Such an important is vulnerable to several factors, such climate change, land use changes, market fluctuations, and other socio-economic factors. The climatic factors are major game changers in Agricultural production, especially with rainfall being decider of crop selectio...

Cropping system level study is not only useful to understand to overall sustainability of agricultural system, but also it helps in generating many important parameters which are useful in climate change impact assessment. Considering its importance, Space Applications Centre, took up a project for mapping and characterizing major cropping systems of Indo-Gangetic Plains of India. The study are...

The main objective of this study is to present an improved modeling technique called Vegetation ET (VegET) that integrates commonly used water balance algorithms with remotely sensed Land Surface Phenology (LSP) parameter to conduct operational vegetation water balance modeling of rainfed systems at the LSP’s spatial scale using readily available global data sets. Evaluation of the VegET model ...

Multiple cropping, a common practice of intensive agriculture that grows crops multiple times in the agricultural land in one growing season, is an effective way to fulfill the food demand given limited cropland areas. Deriving cropping cycles from satellite data provides the spatial distribution of cropping intensities that allows for monitoring of the multiple cropping activities over large a...
