Field experiments were conducted for two consecutive years (2003-04 and 2004-2005) at S.V. Agricultural College Farm (ANGRAU), Tirupati , Southern plateau and Hills zone of India on red sandy soils consisting Greengram was raised as residual crop during summer in a sequence of Maize sown in Kharif and Sunflower sown in Rabi with the imposition of the treatments to the first two crops of the sequence. There were fourteen treatments comprising of six different sources of nitrogen viz., farm yard manure, vermicompost, neem leaf manure, poultry manure, pig manure and fertilizer to supply recommended dose of nitrogen on equalent nitrogen basis and one absolute control. All the seven treatments were tried with and without the foliar application of Panchagavya, thus making the total treatments to fourteen. Regarding the dynamics of various soil fertility parameters viz., soil organic carbon, available nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium, all of them were found built up to a considerable extent with the use of organic manures to maize and sunflower, while the application of fertilizer to maize and sunflower could just maintain the soil fertility status with neither considerable replenishment nor deterioration.As regards the balance sheet of soil available N, P and K, the highest positive balance of soil available nitrogen was found associated with neem leaf manure, and that of phosphorus was associated with poultry manure while that of potassium was with vermicompost. However, all the organic manures could result in higher balance than with application of fertilizer to maize and sunflower crops. Irrespective of the manurial sources, use of Panchagavya did not exert any noticeable effect on fertility enrichment of the soil.Keywords

Field experiments were conducted for two consecutive Rabi seasons of 2003-04and 2004-05 at Tirupati , Southern plateau and Hills zone of India on red sandy soils with fourteen treatments comprised of six different sources of nitrogen viz., farm yard manure, vermicompost, neem leaf, poultry manure, pig manure and fertilizer to supply recommended dose of nitrogen on equalant nitrogen basis and one absolute control were tried with and without the foliar application of Panchagavya, . All the growth and yield attributes, yield (seed as well as stalk) harvest index, nitrogen uptake and gross returns as well as net returns of sunflower were at their best with recommended dose of fertilizer either with or without Panchagavya spray. The highest oil content of the seed was recorded with neem leaf manure in combination with Panchagavya, which was however, comparable with all the other four organic sources tried in combination with Panchagavya, but significantly higher than with the fertilizer either with or without the use of Panchagavya. The highest phosphorus uptake of sunflower was recorded with poultry manure either with or without the spray of Panchagavya, while the potassium uptake was the highest with vermicompost either with or without the spray of Panchagavya. Irrespective of the source of nutrient supply, foliar application of Panchagavya resulted in higher nutrient uptake of sunflower than with the use of respective organic manures alone without the use of Panchagavya. Among the organic sources tried, the highest net returns and benefit-cost ratio of sunflower were realized with poultry manure in combination with Panchagavya.Keywords

Farming systems approach introduces a change in farming techniques for attaining food and nutritional security and for maximizing farm income through optimal utilization of resources by a judicious mix of allied enterprises like dairy, small ruminants like goat and sheep, poultry, piggery, fishery, sericulture etc., with crops suitable for the existing agro-climatic conditions and socioeconomic status of the farmers. Advantages includes Food and nutritional security, enhanced and stable farm income and cash flow through allied components at regular intervals, maintain soil fertility and soil health, environmental protection through effective recycling of waste from animal based enterprises like dairy, goatery, piggery, poultry, etc., and employment generation.- Crop + Dairy + Poultry Farming System Model for Enhanced Farm Income in High Altitude and Tribal Area of Andhra Pradesh

Farming system studies in high altitude and tribal area of Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh state in East Coast Plain and Hills Agro-climatic zone East coast plains, hot, sub humid to semi arid eco region (S7 Cd 2-5). Agro-ecological region with 915 mm rainfall distribution in 55 rainy days reveals farmer needs to be supported with finance during initial 3 years period @52.23 per cent, 37.46 per cent and 21.75 per cent of recurring cost, respectively. Net returns are getting doubled in first year of intervention itself. The increase income is attributed to increase in income from intervention in paddy crop, introduction of maize crop, feeding of supplement feed to the cattle and also the introduction of Vanaraja back yard poultry birds.Keywords

Experiments were conducted during Kharif and Rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 in farmers fields to study the effect of different agronomic management practices on yield and net returns of rice-rice cropping system in 2 different mandals of Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. The results revealed that yields of rice-rice cropping system were significantly higher over farmer’s practices, by adoption of all the recommended package of practices which includes maintenance of optimum plant population and application of recommended dose of NPK and zinc fertilizers at right stages of the crop growth to both the crops in the cropping system.Keywords

The study was conducted at Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh on FLD in greengram by Scientists of district Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Centre of ANGRAU. Greengram crop was sown as rice fallow in Rabi season during 2018-19 and 2019-20 in an area of 1803 ha and 2739 ha also it was found in an increase in yield of 35.4 per cent and 38.7 per cent in FLD field, respectively. Thus, it was concluded that front line demonstrations conducted under the close supervision of scientists is one of the most important tools of extension to demonstrate crop management practices at farmers’ field. FLDs motivate farmers to adopt scientific practices. So, FLDs are to be designed, supervised with extension activities viz., training programmes, demonstration, field days etc. to increase yields and profits of farmers.Keywords

Paddy is major predominant crop during kharif in Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, cultivated in an area of 102074 ha, out of total cropped area of 180164 ha with productivity of 2524 kg/ha. Farmers grow crop by adopting traditional method of paddy cultivation, use more seed rate, close spacing, late transplanting with over aged seedlings common phenomenon due to erotic rainfall Scarcity of labour and escalation in labour wages, reduction in labor efficiency are leading to low net returns. Organized On Farm Trials (OFTs) in farmer fields in two seasons Kharif, 2018 and Kharif, 2019. MSRI technology in paddy recorded 20.76% yield over normal transplanting method of paddy cultivation during both Kharif seasons. The results from the study showed that the farmers realized additional net income of Rs.15038 due to increased grain yield by 20.76% with reduction of cost of cultivation by Rs. 1150, it could be attributed to reduction in manual labour per ha and also increase in yield attributes.Keywords
