Present experiment was conducted in participatory mode among ten tomato growers of Chatra district of Jharkhand during late Rabi of 2009-10 to summer 2010 including three technology options viz., Farmers practices i.e. plots provided with required number of irrigations without mulching (TO1), use of black plastic mulch (TO2) and use of rice straw mulch applied @ 10 t/ha to maintain 2 inch thickness (TO3). Mulched plots were also irrigated whenever required to maintain soil moisture. Data were recorded on moisture content after one week of irrigation (%), number of irrigations during 130 days of crop duration, irrigation intervals (days) required to maintain at least 20-22 per cent soil moisture, weed population per m2 area, fruit weight (g), fruit yield per plant (kg), yield (q/ha) and C:B ratio. Results indicated that black plastic mulch was promising for increasing soil moisture content after one week of irrigation, fruit weight and reducing number of irrigations and weed population per m2 area but rice straw mulch increased number of fruits per plant and fruit yield. Rice straw mulching also exhibited maximum B:C ratio due to higher fruit yield and lower initial input required in application of this locally available mulch material . Therefore, it is recommended for large scale application in summer tomato crop for remunerative yield.Keywords

The study was laidout during Rabi season of 1994-95 and 1995-96 at Student’s Instructional Farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam, having low fertility status. Five cropping systems i.e., Indian mustard sole, Indian mustard + lentil, Indian mustard without lentil at same distance, Indian mustard + French bean and Indian mustard without French bean at same distance were tested under three levels of phosphorus (control, 30 kg P2O5/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha). The highest yield of Indian mustard by 24.04 q/ha was harvested under treatment of Indian mustard sole. In associated cropping system of lentil and French bean, Indian mustard yielded by 11.72 q/ha and 15.52 q/ha seed yield, respectively. The yield of Indian mustard was obtained 16.95 q/ha at 30 kg P2O5/ha closely followed by 60 kg P2O5/ha (16.45 q/ha). The growth and yield traits of Indian mustard were concordant to the yields obtained from Indian mustard under different cropping systems and levels of phosphorus. The yield of intercropped lentil and French bean were harvested by 6.69 q/ha and 12.02 q/ha, respectively. Both inter crops provided more grain yield upto highest tested dose of 60 kg P2O5/ha closely followed by 80 kg P2O5/ha. The growth and yield attributes of both crops were commensurable to the yields obtained from lentil and French bean under cropping systems with Indian mustard and levels of phosphorus application.Keywords

The adaptive trial was laidout during 2002-2003 at dry eco-system of Jalaun district of Bundelkhand. The soil of pilot area was Kabar, having low fertility status especially in organic matter. The improved genotypes KWR-108, KGD-1168 and Pusa-256 was tested with local check Radhey in adaptive trial. The cultivars planted in the first fortnight of November and harvested in the end of March after 140 days of seeding. The cultivar Pusa-256 gave highest average grain yield of chickpea by 15.50 q/ha. The local check Radhey, KWR-108 and KGD-1168 gave lowest yield by a margin of 2.25 q/ha, 1.00 q/ha and 1.00 q/ha, respectively, in comparison to cv. PUSA-256. The growth and yield traits recorded under test genotypes, supported to the grain yield of chickpea.Keywords
