A field experiment was conducted at farmer field of Katihar district during two consecutive years of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to study the yield of wheat as influenced by split application of nitrogen. The soil is non-calcareous light gray in colour flood plain belongs to the alluvial gangetic plain (Agro climatic zone II). The study was done in Randomized Block Design with four treatments and ten replications with HD 2733 wheat variety to evaluate the observation regarding growth attributes and yield components of individual plant parameters were recorded from randomly selected plants in each plot. The evaluated traits were plant population (m-2), plant height (cm), bearing tillers plant-1 (no.), non-bearing tillers plant-1 (no.), spikelets spike-1 (no.), fertile spikelets spike-1 (no.) non-fertile spikelets spike-1 (no.), 1000-seed weight (g), seed yield (t ha-1) and straw yield (t ha-1). Results indicated that the use of three split N applications increased all growth and yield attributes. The best N split strategy corresponded to three N splits: at planting, crown ischolar_main initiation (CRI), and panicle initiation (PI) stages.Keywords

A field experiment for three consecutive years from 2010 to 2013 was conducted to study the effect of different mulching materials viz., black polyethylene, transparent polyethylene, grass mulch, soil mulch, lac mud and unmulched (control) on soil moisture, soil temperature, weed biomass suppression and Kusmi lac yield of Flemingia semialata under rainfed conditions in the Research farm of ICAR-Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums, Ranchi. Results showed the highest soil moisture conservation in black polyethylene by 31.7, 26.7 and 14.4%over control for the year 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Different mulching materials showed different effects on soil temperature. The maximum mean temperature (21.7°C) was recorded under transparent polyethylene mulch, while, the lowest soil mean temperature (20.8°C) was recorded under grass mulch. Mean soil temperature under grass mulch was lower by 1.1, 0.7 and 1.0°C compared to transparent mulch for three years, respectively. Black polyethylene suppressed the maximum amount of weed (380.22 g m–2), whereas the suppression by transparent mulch was 149.93 g m–2, which was recorded to be the least. Lac yield showed no definite trend in any of the treatments during the study period.Keywords
