Download or read book Water use efficiency of arable and grassland crops in legume based intercropping systems written by Annika Meißner and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2021 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legume-based intercropping systems have the potential for a more efficient use of water resources. This depends on various factors such as environmental conditions and genotypic characteristics. Therefore, several genotypes of legumes and non-legumes of arable, grassland and woody crops were tested comparing intercropping and pure stands under both greenhouse and field conditions. Greenhouse experiments with winter faba bean and winter wheat under water deficit revealed genotypic differences in the suitability for intercropping as well as effects on the microbial community. Field experiments with direct and remote measurements showed that including legumes in arable and grassland low-input systems improves water use efficiency and productivity in comparison to pure non-legumes. The grassland mixing partners perennial ryegrass and chicory had additional effects. Furthermore, arable intercropping reduced nitrous oxide emissions compared to fertilized wheat stands. From the consolidated results, some winter faba bean and white clover genotypes could be identified for further breeding for intercropping systems. In summary, intercropping with legumes improves the water use efficiency and the general performance and sustainability of the agro-ecosystem.

Download or read book Sustainable Management of Soil and Environment written by Ram Swaroop Meena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-02 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fertilizers have been used extensively around the globe since the Green Revolution, due to the high subsidies. However, extensive fertilizer use exacerbates soil degradation and causes yield stagnation, and as a result threatens food security and soil sustainability, especially in developing countries. This means that sustainable soil and environmental management are vital to provide food and nutritional security for present and future generations. This has led to the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS) declaring 2015-2024 the International Decade of Soils. This book focuses on the impact of sustainable management of soil and environment on improving the functioning of soil-ecosystems and agronomic productivity, and also discusses food security, nutrient cycling, recent advances in INM technologies, eco-friendly cultivation, agricultural practices to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as conservation agriculture and its effects, and strategies for soil sustainability. Offering a comprehensive overview of management in the context of the sustainability of soil and the agroecosystems that it supports, it demonstrates the options available and provides insights into restoring soil health and matching soil nutrient supply with crop demand to ensure nutritional security in an eco-friendly environment.

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.
