Background: Incidence of fall armyworm in maize has been reported at a severe level since 2018 resulting low yield and extreme cases complete failure the crop. In view undesirable effects unilateral reliance on chemicals, greener avenues like intercropping needs to be explored, which promise subside pests, as well as, provide higher income cultivators. Method: Field experiment was conducted fro...

Grazing systems may alter botanical composition and productivity of grasslands through differential use in time, space, or intensity. Seven simulated grazing treatments were applied six years in eastern Montana, USA to determine effects on plant community composition and standing crop. Treatments were moderate stocking (28.8 AUD ha 1 year ) of cattle using 3-pasture summer rotation, season-long...

The field experiment was conducted at the central research farm Soil Science Research Farm of SHUATS Prayagraj, (U.P.) on, sandy loam soil to “Influence Phosphorus and Zinc on Physio-chemical Properties Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)” during Kharif season 2022. There are nine treatment combinations comprised in randomized block design with three replications making a total 27 experimental plots....

Long-term water quality records for assessing natural variability, impact of management, and that guide regulatory processes to safeguard water resources are rare for California oak woodland rangelands. This study presents a 20-yr record (1981-2000) of nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N) and suspended sediment export from a typical, grazed oak woodland watershed (103 ha) in the northern Sierra Nevada fo...

it is essential to understand crop yield potentials and exploitable gaps to detect yield constraints of crops. yield gap analysis is a method to evaluate our systems distance from actual capability of a region to produce a given crop which will direct researches and help for cropping patterns design and programming. moreover, knowledge on a region capability could result in investigating on giv...

Tillage systems comprise physical, chemical, and biological modification processes that influence soil properties. Soil cultivation aims to create favorable conditions for the development growth of crops, as evident in their yields. Three growing seasons (winter 2019/2020 (wheat), summer 2020 (cowpea), winter 2020/2021 (wheat)) were studied field experiments Sidi Salem, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt, i...

wheat is one of the most important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 percent of energy is provided by bread in the developing countries. the aim of this study was measuring wheat losses during pre-harvest and harvest stages in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province of iran in year 2013. wheat losses at harvest stages were measured to wheat varieties in 2 levels of omid...

The growth and yield of Egusi melon in response to application of an Organo-mineral fertilizer was investigated. The Organo-mineral fertilizer was Cow-dung generated from an Abattoir fortified with inorganic Nitrogen. The fertilizer had a pH of 6.1; 61.2 g kg Organic Matter; 35.5 g kg -1 -1 Organic Carbon; 3.6g kg Nitrogen; 372.54 mg kg Available Phosphorus and 14.8cmol kg -1 -1 -1 Exchangeable...

introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...
