An experiment was conducted duringKharif season of 2011-12 to study the effect of mulching, spacing and intercropping of green gram (Vigna radiate) on growth, yield and quality of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). The soil of experimental field was categorized as loamy-sand. The experiment was laid out in Randomized CompleteBlockDesign (RCBD) with four replications and eleven treatments. The results indicates the rate of increase in plant height was higher up to 120 days after planting, there after the plant height increasing rate slowed down. Maximum plant height 74.7 cm was observed in treatment T10 where inter row spacing of turmeric was 37.5 cm and mulch was applied as compared with other treatments. The number of tillers was maximum under turmeric + green gram intercropping systems with mulching at inter row spacing of 60 cm in turmeric crop. The data revealed that the sole turmeric with mulching treatment (T2) produced maximum fresh rhizome yield (210.0 q/ha), dry rhizome yield (63.1 q/ha) and processed yield (57.8 q/ha) as compared to other intercropping treatment combinations with or without mulch application. Turmeric intercropped with green gram (30 cm inter row spacing in turmeric) produced (205.9 q/ha) fresh rhizome yield closely followed by sole turmeric with mulching (210.0 q/ha). The curcumin content and oil content was not influenced by intercropping, spacing and mulching that is observed from experimental study. Turmeric intercropped with green gram at inter row spacing of 30 cm is a good option.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2011-12 at the experimental farm of Department of Agronomy, Forages and Grassland Management CSKHPKV, Palampur Himachal Pradesh to study the "Response of brown sarson (Brassica campestris var. brown sarson) to integrated nutrient management in mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh". The treatments comprising of all possible combinations of three biofertilizers viz., Azotobacter, Azotobacter + PSB and no inoculation and four fertility levels viz., 100% RDF, FYM 5.0 t ha-1+ 50% RDF, Vermicompost 5.0 t ha-1+ 50% RDF and control were tested in Factorial Randomized Block Design, replicated three times. Significantly highest plant height was recorded with the application of Azotobacter + PSB over Azotobacter alone and no inoculation at 90, 120 DAS and at harvest. Among different fertility levels, application of 100 per cent RDF being statistically at par with vermicompost 5.0 t ha-1 + 50% RDF produced significantly taller plants as compared to other treatments. Results revealed that growth, yield attributes, seed and straw yields of brown sarson were significantly increased with the application of biofertilizers and different fertility levels over control. The treatment receiving Azotobacter + PSB significantly increased the seed and straw yields followed by Azotobacter and no inoculation. Effect of fertility levels on seed and straw yields showed that 100 per cent RDF resulted in significantly higher seed and straw yield as compared to other fertility levels and control treatment. However, 100 per cent RDF treatment remained at par with vermicompost 5.0 t ha-1 + 50% RDF. The application of biofertilizers and fertility levels could not exhibit any significant effect on harvest index. The increase in seed yield with Azotobacter + PSB was 20.3% over Azotobacter alone.Keywords

An experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2011-12 to study from results concluded that maximum fresh rhizome yield of 210.0 q/ha obtained where turmeric sown as sole (T2) and it was at par with T11 where green gram was intercropped. The maximum net return (Rs. 1,46,942) per hectare was obtained in T11 (30 cm inter row spacing) and it was followed by T10 (Rs. 1,16,080) when turmeric and green gram (37.5 cm inter row spacing in turmeric) intercropping with mulching. Mulching produced higher net return Rs. 1, 25,125 in turmeric sole with mulching as compared with Rs. 1,08,720 in turmeric sole without mulching. Highest B:C ratio 3.91 obtained in (T2) turmeric sole with mulching than (T1) turmeric sole without mulching. B:C ratio 3.44 obtained in T11 (where green gram was sown in between turmeric rows) and it was closely followed the 3.91 and 3.58 with and without mulching. Mulching increase the B:C ratio as compared to unmulched treatment. Higher turmeric equivalent yield (253.3 q ha-1) obtained in T11 (where intercropping of green gram in between turmeric rows at 30 cm inter row spacing). Mulch application increases the land equivalent ratio as compared to without mulching. Higher LER (2.0) was obtained in T11 (where 30 cm inter row spacing in turmeric) and it was followed by T9, T7, T8, T10, T5, T6, T3, T4, T2 treatments.Keywords

The present study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Bathinda in operational village Killi Nihal Singh under the project “National Initiatives on Climate Resilient Agriculture” (NICRA).The village was adopted under this project and operational area was village Killi Nihal Singh. Krishi Vigyan Kendra Bathinda has conducted total 58 front line demonstrations on summer moong in 20 hectares area during the Rabi season from year 2011 to 2015. The productivity and economic returns of summer moong in demonstrated plots were calculated and compared with the corresponding farmers’ practices (local check). The data obtained were pooled for five years. The results of the study revealed that the average yield of summer moong under FLD plots varied between 10.80 q/ ha to 11.20q/ha, whereas, under the farmers’ practice, it varied between 8.90 q/ ha to 10.00 q/ha. The FLD plots recorded a per cent increase in yield to the tune of 8.70 to 21.30. It was observed that on an average 13.4 per cent higher grain yield was recorded in demonstration plots than farmers’ practices. The extension gap and technology gap were recorded 1.08 q/ha, 0.27 q/ha, respectively and technology index was measured 2.39 per cent, The additional investment of Rs.1,313/ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstrations and non-monitoring factors resulted in additional return of Rs. 5,617/ha over the farmer practice. The increment in yield of summer moong crop under front line demonstrations was due to dissemination of improved and latest technologies, HYV, recommended seed rate, fertilization and plant protection measures. Fluctuating minimum selling price of summer moong different years influenced the economic returns per unit area.

The findings of the study revealed that initially 75 per cent farmers were possessing low, 20 per cent medium and 05 per cent high level of knowledge whereas after acquiring training the values were 07 per cent for low, 10 per cent for medium and 83 per cent for high level of knowledge. It was noticed that 85.0 per cent of the farmers adopted new high yielding variety followed by land preparation (78.0 %), integrated nutrient management (82.0 %) and used recommended seed rate (71.0 %) after acquiring trainings from the KVK. It was also evident from the findings that due to enhanced knowledge and adoption of scientific practices, the yield of chickpea increased by 3.5 per cent, 4.2 per cent and 7.1 per cent over the yield obtained under farmer’s practices during the year 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. Thus, FLD,s obtained a significant positive result and also provided the researchers an opportunity to demonstrate the productivity potential and profitability of the integrated nutrient management under field conditions.Keywords
