Book excerpt: Agriculture is the main occupation in India and about 75% of its population depends directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihood. It is the dominant sector that contributes 18% of the gross domestic product. Thus, agriculture is the foundation of the Indian economy. The maximum share of Indian exports is also from the agriculture sector. As the population of the country is increasing trem- dously, approximately at the rate of 19 million every year over the existing popu- tion of more than 1 billion (approximately 1. 18 billion), the food grain production must necessarily be increased. This can be done by increasing crop production to match the population growth rate of 2. 2% per annum, which is expected to stabilize at 1. 53 billion around 2050. There is no doubt that the Green Revolution in India during the late 1960s brought self-sufficiency in food grain production, mainly through the increase in rice and wheat crop yields – the two main crops of the country which play an important role from food security point of view. However, the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the neglect of organic manures for these crops, has resulted in the deterioration of physical, chemical and biological health of the ri- and wheat-growing soils. Owing to the deterioration of the health of these soils, the productivity of the rice–wheat cropping system has now either got reduced or in some places has become constant for the last decade.

Download or read book Crop Residue Management in Rice Wheat Cropping System written by M. L. Dotaniya and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book "Crop Residue Management in Rice-Wheat Cropping System" has written for plant nutrient management in rice - wheat cropping system with nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. The rice-wheat cropping system is one of most widely practiced cropping system in India as well as across the world. The nutrient management in this system is a big task; both crops are heavy nutrient feeder. It requires nutrient cycling from organic residues to maintain nutrient balance in soil. Addition of organic matter to the soil through the return of crop residues also improves soil structure, influences soil water, air and temperature relation, helps to control runoff and erosion and makes tillage easier. Therefore, use of renewable organic sources would be essential for sustainability of the rice-wheat system. This book provides the information about NPK nutrient balance and crop performance under crop residue management practices.

Download or read book Assessing the Effects of Implement Appropriate Practices of Tillage Based Cropping and Residue Management Significant Impact on Soil Health and Productivity in a Rice Wheat Green Gram Cropping System in North Bihar written by Tarun Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to solve the problem of deteriorating soil health and the stagnation of yield in the rice-wheat-green gram cropping system (RWGCS) in Madwan Block, Muzaffarpur Bihar, from 2018 until 2023. The experiment included five crop scenarios based on conservation agriculture principles (CA), these interventions for improving soil health and enhancing crop yields, providing insights for future agricultural practices in the region. This study aimed to assess the impact of various tillage-based crop establishment and residue retention practices on soil health and agricultural system sustainability by developing a soil quality index (SQI). Soil properties were analyzed to create a SQI for 2018 and 2023 using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) to comprehensively assess soil quality. The treatment RPTR-BCW-BCG (T1), including random puddled transplanted rice, broadcasted wheat, and green gram with negligible residue integration, exhibited inferior soil quality ratings. Significant variations in soil parameters were identified among treatments during the research period. Moreover, treatment ZTDSR-HSZTW-HSG (T5), demonstrated high grain yields for rice (58.16 qt. ha-1 in 2020-21, 57.32 qt. ha-1 in 2021-22) and wheat (60.00 qt. ha-1 in 2020-21, 62.56 qt. ha-1 in 2021-22), as well as relatively high green gram yield (13.57 qt. ha-1 in 2020-21, 13.83 qt. ha-1 in 2021-22). Beneficial effects of positive outcomes in terms of crop output and sustainability as a result of implementing residue management and conservation tillage practices. The implementing CA methods, particularly the T5 treatment, can improve soil quality, enhance crop production sustainability, and promote overall agricultural system sustainability in the examined RWGCS. These results highlight the significance of managing agricultural residues and conservation tillage in maintaining soil health and ensuring long-term production in rice-wheat-green gram cropping systems.

Download or read book Crop Residue Management Systems written by W. R. Oschwald and published by ACSESS. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of croplands has a large impact on the quantity and quality of food and fiber production and on air and water quality, all of which influence the quality of our environment. Management of the nonharvested plant tissues, such as leaves, stems, branches, and roots that constitute the residues from the production of food and fiber, is one of the farm practices that affects crop production via nutrient availability and cycling. Management of these residues also provides opportunities for control of dust in the air and sediments and nutrients in waters through control of soil erosion caused by wind and water. Thus, the task ahead for the management of croplands for improvements in the overall well-being of people involves the application of known effective crop residue management systems to maintain crop production and to reduce wind and water erosion. There is need, as well, for development of more effective management systems through laboratory and field research.

Download or read book Sustainable Cropping Systems written by Jeffrey A. Coulter and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global crop production must substantially increase to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. This is constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, and land. There is also an urgent need to reduce the negative environmental impacts of crop production. Collectively, these issues represent one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Sustainable cropping systems based on ecological principles are the core of integrated approaches to solve this critical challenge. This special issue provides an international basis for revealing the underlying mechanisms of sustainable cropping systems to drive agronomic innovations. It includes review and original research articles that report novel scientific findings on improvement in cropping systems related to crop yields and their resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, resource use efficiency, environmental impact, sustainability, and ecosystem services.
