The rice crop in the Indo-Gangetic Plains is with particular reference to Haryana is vital for food security in India. Its sustainability is at risk as the current production practices are inadequate resulting in high cost of cultivation and inefficient use of inputs such as water, labour and energy. In a field study, we evaluated resource conserving and cost-saving alternative tillage and crop establishment options with an aim to improve productivity and input use efficiency. Treatments included manual transplanting, mechanical transplanting and direct-seeding of rice after conventional and reduced tillage. Tillage and crop establishment method had a significant effect on rice yield. Dry-DSR and unpuddled mechanical transplanting have almost equal (average of both years) grain yield i.e. 41.71 and 41.80 qtl ha-1, but a marginal higher yield 42.90 qtl ha-1 under DSRvatter than mechanical transplanted and DSRdry was observed. On an average of both years, manual transplanted rice in puddled and unpuddled conditions has produced 7-9 per cent less grain yield than mechanical transplanted and direct seeded rice. The growth duration of manual transplanted rice was 8-10 days more than direct-seeded rice, while, it was 4-5 days more in mechanical transplanting than DSR treatments. In both years, the direct-seeded rice sown in vatter condition received the lesser water and puddled manual transplanted rice consumed more water. Saving in cost under DSR-drill and mechanical transplanter in comparison to manual transplanting was 76 and 26 per cent, respectively. Saving of 85 to 97 per cent labour requirement was observed in DSR-drill and mechanical transplanter over manual transplanting. The B:C ratio of both the DSR systems (2.81 and 2.88) was higher than puddled (2.31) and unpuddled manual transplanted rice (2.52) and unpuddled mechanical transplanted rice (2.39), respectively. Direct-seeded rice can be more efficient and profitable alternatives to current practice (puddled transplanted rice).Keywords

The current study was carried out to assess the GIS map-based soil fertility evaluation with regard to traditional soil testing in the Ambala. This study presents the soil spatial variability maps for soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, available N, P, K, S, Zn, B, Fe, Mn and Cu. Soil samples were collected during Rabi season of year 2015. Nearly 70 per cent samples had pH between 6.8 and 8.2. The electrical conductivity (EC) varied from 0.10 to 0.98 dS m-1 with an average value of 0.39 dS m-1. The organic carbon (OC) in these soils ranged between 0.2 and 0.59 per cent with an average value of 0.37 per cent, the distribution of OC was 58, 42 and 0 per cent, respectively as low, medium and high rating. All the soil samples tested were found to be deficient in N. Only 18 per cent soil samples were deficient in available P, while 62 and 20 per cent samples had medium to high P status. Eighteen (18) per cent samples were found to be low, whereas 74 per cent samples were medium and remaining 10 per cent samples tested high in available K status. 28 per cent samples fell under low status and 40 per cent samples were medium and 32 per cent samples were in high S status. Majority of the soil (96%) samples were having low status of B. 14.00 per cent samples fell under medium status, 6.00 per cent samples were normal and 80.00 per cent samples were high in Zn status. All the soils had sufficient amount of Fe and Cu.Keywords

Lentil is an important pulse crop of Haryana. Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Tepla, Ambala conducted 28 frontline demonstrations in different villages on lentil. The results were compared with full package of practices viz., improved variety, seed treatment, seed inoculation, recommended dose of fertilizer, use of SSP fertilizer and plant protection management etc. and farmer practices included local or old variety, no seed treatment, no seed inoculation and imbalance and wrong choice of fertilizer. The FLD on lentil registered 24.51 per cent higher yield over farmers practice on an average. The highest yield (13.75 qt/ha) was recorded in the year 2009-2010 in FLD, which was 23.64 per cent more over the farmers practice (10.50 qt/ha). Average extension gap was recorded 2.09 qt/ha. and average technology index was recorded 28.49 per cent. The technology gap ranged from 1.75 qt/ha. to 8.75 qt/ha. On an average, technology gap was 4.05 qt/ha.Keywords

Among the different transfer of technologies, Front line demonstration (FLD) is one of the most powerful tools to disseminate the latest technologies or crop varieties to the farmers through Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs'). Keeping in view of an effective extension approach of FLDs for dissemination of summer mungbean technology, FLDs on mungbean were conducted in different villages of Ambala district in Haryana state during 2006 to 2011 at farmers' fields. Rice-wheat cropping system is prevalent in the Indo-Gangetic plains for the last three or more decades. The continuous dominance of rice-wheat cropping sequence in irrigated agro-ecosystem particularly in Punjab and Haryana has resulted in many types of agro-ecological problems viz., depleting status of soil physical, chemical and biological health, herbicide resistant in wheat, excessive use of water resources and over exploitation of underground water. The practice of cultivation of summer rice has further worsened the situation. The burning of combine-harvested residues of both rice and wheat has altered the biological properties of soil resulting in decrease of nutrient use efficiency and decrease of organic matter. The all-apparent consequences of this cropping system are reflected in either stagnating or decreasing productivity of rice and wheat crops. There is great scope of judicious utilization of fields vacated by wheat before transplanting of rice during summer. The summer mungbean can be easily infused in rice-wheat cropping sequence.Keywords

An experiment was conducted at farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Ambala to assess the impact of different planting methods of sugarcane i.e. planting methods viz., T1-conventional planting (60 cm row spacing), T2-paired row trench plantation method (60:120 cm spacing) and T3-paired row ridge and furrow plantation method (100:120 cm spacing) on cane yield, water productivity and economics. The cane yield in conventional planting (T1) was 77.53 t ha-1, 82.50 t ha-1 in paired row trench plantation technique (T2), and 86.20 t ha-1 in paired row ridge and furrow plantation technique (T3), which was significantly higher in T3 than in (T1) and (T2). The water productivity was 2.82 in T1, 3.37 in T2 and 3.79 in T3, respectively. The gross return in farmer practice, paired row trench and modified paired row plantation method was 175150.00 Rs. ha-1, 186450 and 194812 Rs. ha-1, respectively. Simultaneously, the BCR was high in paired row trench plantation (2.70) and paired row ridge and furrow plantation method (2.90) than 2.30 in conventional planting.Keywords

Field experiment was conducted at the farmers field of Ambala during year 2014 and 2015 to assess the growth and yield of summer mungbean in different sowing methods viz., (T1) conventional tillage and broadcasting sowing method, (T2) conventional tillage and line sowing and (T3) zero tillage and line sowing. The line sowing and zero tillage sowing methods recorded higher plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and test weight during both the years. Sowing methods significantly affected the various growth parameter of summer mungbean crop. The seed yield under CT-line sowing and ZT-sowing was significantly 15 to 20 per cent higher than CT-broadcasting sowing method in the first year. During second year of the study, it was also significantly 14-19 per cent higher than T1-CT-broadcasting sowing method. Simultaneously, stover and biological yield (kg ha-1) and harvest index (%) were also recorded better value in T2 and T3 than T3. Due to the less cost of cultivation in ZT-sowing method, the B: C ratio was higher i.e. (2.16 and 2.18) as compared to (2.06 and 2.11) in CT-line sowing and (1.42 and 1.50) in CT-broadcasting during year 2014 and 2015, respectively.Keywords

Practicing farmers trainings were conducted in the then adopted village Landa in block of Barara of Ambala district in Haryana during 2012-13. During 2013-14 and 2014-15 these were conducted in village Spheda and Goli in the block of Ambala-II and Saha, respectively. The innovative farmers of the above villages were selected for conducting these demonstrations. The per cent reduction in weed population in the happy seeder sown crop over the farmer’s practice was 24.49, 27.19 and 21.88, respectively during the demonstration period. The average grain yield of wheat in percentage was 9.09, 8.89 and 9.68 higher in happy seeder sown fields as compared to the conventional sown fields. In general Rs. 2920 per hectare was saved in happy seeder fields over farmer’s practice for sowing of the fields. Due to reduced cost of cultivation and higher crop yield, the gross and net return was also higher in happy seeder as compared to the conventional sowing. The BCR was 3.74, 3.82 and 4.06 in happy seeder, which was higher than in conventional sowing 2.81, 2.85 and 3.01, respectively.Keywords
