North-western Himalayan region of India is blessed with vast natural resources, yet confronted with poor quality of life. Agriculture in the region is very subsistence in nature mainly to meet the livelihood and food requirements of the households. The agriculture productivity in the region is very low due to a variety of reasons including rainfed farming and low input usage. In the region, farming systems on integrated watershed management basis can be promoted for diversification, improving livelihood, soil quality and food security. Besides, it can also be helpful in soil amelioration, stabilization of degraded lands and mitigation of the impacts of climate.Keywords

The closed loop control of PMDC drive with an inner current controller and an outer PID-ANN (Proportional Integral Derivative - Artificial Neural Network) based speed controller is designed and presented in this paper. Motor is fed by DC / DC buck converter (DC Chopper). The controller is used to change the duty cycle of the converter and thereby, the voltage fed to the PMDC motor to regulate the speed. The PID-ANN controller designed was evaluated by computer simulation and it was implemented using an 8051 based embedded system. This system will operate in forward motoring with variable speed.Keywords

An attempt for exertion is made to utilize the capacity of fuzzy arbitrariness in dealt with instabilities to develop a generic approach for strength based administration life plan of fortified cement basic individuals. In the proposed procedure, convection and surface chloride focus are handled as irregular variable and subsequently the diffusion coefficient is characterized as a fuzzy arbitrary variable. The present work, dealt about the service life in sea-side location that lacks region of support due to limited distinction plan is evaluated using fuzzy probabilistic approach and fractal analysis. A case issue is also discussed to outline the adequacy of the proposed approach.Keywords

Farmers in the North West Himalayan region generally practise rainfed agriculture and have very limited scope for irrigation. Water scarcity is a major constraint for crop production in these areas. This problem exacerbates further during the Rabi season where vagaries of winter rain result in complete crop failure. This study was conducted in the Raipur Block of Dehradun district in the farmer’s field to study the impact of hydrogel on yield and productivity of wheat. Hydrogel is a hydrophilic polymer having high water holding capacity and can provide water to crops during moisture stress. Hydrogel was applied in the field in Rabi wheat with two broad treatments, i.e. with hydrogel (WH) and without hydrogel (WHO). Each treatment was replicated ten times, i.e. ten demonstrations were laid out in the field conditions. Hydrogel was applied at the rate of 5 kg ha–1 and observations related to various plant growth parameters and yield were recorded. The plant population in hydrogel plots increased by 22% compared to the non-hydrogel treated plots. The effective tillers, plant height, ear length and grains per ear significantly improved due to hydrogel application. The total yield as well as grain yield increased significantly after hydrogel amendment. The improved performance of wheat upon hydrogel application was evident in the field. This technology could be promising in terms of productivity improvement of rainfed crops and in combating the moisture stress in agriculture.Keywords
