Book Integrated Weed Management in Rainfed Pigeonpea

Download or read book Integrated Weed Management in Rainfed Pigeonpea written by Shoban Chakravarthy K and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world. Among the pulse crops pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is second most important pulse crop cultivated in the country. Pigeonpea faces heavy weed infestation in the early stages of crop growth, due to its slow growth habit in the initial stages coupled with wider spacing. Traditional weed control methods viz. inter cultivation or weeding alone is laborious, expensive and insufficient. Extensive research has been conducted on chemical weed control in pigeonpea in India which showed promising results with a number of pre-emergence herbicides as well as post emergences. Keeping these points in view the present study was undertaken to know the effect of pre and post emergence herbicides and hand weeding practices on weed control and yield of rainfed pigeonpea at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore under rainfed condition.

Book Agrotechnology for Dryland Farming 2nd  Revised Ed

Download or read book Agrotechnology for Dryland Farming 2nd Revised Ed written by A.M. Dhopte and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known that dryland farming is not remunerative due to several constraints. Location specific technologies have been evolved for yield stabilization in dryland farming and conservation of fragile ecosystem by sustainable use of soil and water resources. Drought and flood situations are experienced some where in the country inspite of pletifull resources of waters unshine hours but poverty among farmers still exists. This is a point of sereous concern. Agrotechniques are alone the answer for low productivity (0.8 t/ha) of 90% rainfed farming. To feed over one billion gallowping population of country, there is a need to increase the productivity to 1.5 t/ha by 2010 AD. This book deals with seed, soil, watersheds, crop, weed and nutrient management use of weather forecast, measure to save crops under abiotic stresses like drought and flooding, selection of crops and variety, reclamation of degraded land, organic recycling, agro-meterological approaches, water requirement, early harvest on physiological maturity, agro-hydro modelling and suitable medicinal and aromatic crops to make dry farming remunerative for welfare of common farmers. This is the first comprehensive book where large number of agro-techniques are incorporated. Chapters are written by eminent scientists of national repute who have devoted their life time to solve probable problems of dryland. Agro-techniques can well be adopted with ease by farmers through extension agencies to avoid bankrupsy. Book includes all relevant aspects of rainfed farming and is therefore a valuable addition in Dryfarming and meets the expectations of all those interested in rainfed farming in the country and abroad. Long outstanding demand has thus fulfilled with this book. The novel approach of editor has made the readers task quick and minimized their efforts by compiling all agro-techniques together at one place for benefit of farmers.
