Water crisis in present days as a result of climate change effect has significantly altered the annual rainfall and river flow regimes, and will in turn affect the groundwater recharging rate. Prevention of stress on ground water can be made possible by way of recharging the ground water through scientific watershed management. Therefore, watershed treatment is an ideal method for recharging ground water and to prevent stress on ground water. In the present investigation, a modest attempt has been made to assess impact of watershed treatment on ground water recharge in Totaganti micro watershed in Hirekerur taluk, Haveri district, Karnataka. The water harvesting structures like contour bund, recharge pit, farm pond, check dam, bore well recharge pit, earthen bunds and desiltation of tanks and agro-forestry were implemented. The nine bore well stations were randomly selected for taking ground water samples in upper, middle and lower reaches of the micro watershed. Out of 115 irrigation sources in the micro watershed, 65 sources were functioning and 50 sources were non-functioning before watershed treatment. After watershed treatment, functioning irrigation sources were raised from 65 to 105. This clearly indicates that there is a net raise in the irrigation sources due to increase in the ground water recharge. Further, the maximum average bore well yield 2.43 l/ sec. was recorded in stations of lower reaches and minimum bore well yield 2.30 l/sec. in stations of upper reaches. It also resulted in an increase in the productivity of some crops such as jowar from 3.0 to 3.7 q/acre, maize from 2.9 to 3.2 q/acre, cotton from 2.6 to 3.3 q/acre and red gram from 2.1 to 2.5 q/acre. This shows that there was significant difference in productivity between before and after watershed treatment. About 25.53 per cent of the farmers are found to be socio economically strong, 54.25 per cent medium class and 20.21 per cent lower class. Majority of people were actively participated in Mandal Panchayat (53.57%), 26.78 per cent in Zilla Panchayat and 19.64 per cent in co-operative society.Keywords

The studies were conducted on effect of integrated crop management on brinjal yield and economics through frontline demonstration at farmers field of Tumkuru district, Karnataka state during the year 2009-10 to 2011-12. The data revealed that the total yield gap between potential yield and actual yield of brinjal was 53.67 per cent, in which 16.92 per cent of yield gap between demonstration plot and actual farmers plot yield and 36.75 per cent of technological gap. The maximum number of farmers were adopted recommended spacing (88.33%) followed by seed treatment (83.33%), timely irrigation (81.67%) and weed management (81.67%). The increased in adoption level of package of practices were found to more in raising and selection of quality seedling from nursery (50.00%) fallowed by selection of high yielding hybrid variety (46.67%) and application of vegetable special (50.00%). Whereas, the package of practices viz., plant protection measures to control pest and diseases (21.67%), application of recommended dose of fertilizer (25.00%) and seed treatment (26.67%) were found to less increase in adoption level after frontline demonstration. There was significantly increased in brinjal yield (36.51%), net return and B:C ratio after conduct of frontline demonstrations as compared to farmers practice. The adoption of package of practices even though after demonstrations programme, which shows positive impact of integrated crop management on brinjal yield and economics through adoption of demonstrated technology.Keywords

The farm trials was conducted for assessment of commercial flower crops as intercropping system in coconut garden for additional returns at farmer’s field of Gubbi taluk, Tumkur district of Karnataka state to study the influence of intercropping system on coconut yield, economics of coconut based intercropping system with commercial flower crops. The experiment consisted of four different intercropping systems viz., coconut sole cropping as farmers practice (T1), coconut+marigold (T2), coconut+china aster (T3) and coconut+chrysanthemum (T4) with seven replication (trials) in 38 year old coconut garden of Tiptur tall variety planted with a spacing of 9 m×9 m. The results of experiment show that growth and yield parameters of coconut were not significantly affected by growing commercial flower crops such as marigold, china aster and chrysanthemum. The yield of coconut was found to higher (8932 nuts/ha/year) under chrysanthemum as intercrop in coconut garden, which was on far with other intercrops in coconut garden. The highest net annual income Rs. 1,43,810/ha and B:C ratio 3.13 were recorded in coconut+chrysanthemum intercropping system with more additional income and market demand of chrysanthemum, which was on far with coconut+China aster (Net annual income Rs. 1,13,300/ha and B:C ratio (3.06) and less market demand of marigold, where as lowest net annual income Rs. 47,310/ha and B:C ratio 2.26 were recorded in coconut sole cropping with no additional income from the farmers practices.Keywords
