Coconut is one of the important plantation crops of Gujarat state particularly in coastal area. Considering the area and production of coconut in Gujarat, Junagadh district ranks first. Therefore, study has been conducted to know the adoption level of coconut growers. The result revealed that majority of the coconut growers (66.67 %) had medium level of overall adoption regarding recommended practices of coconut. Findings of relational analysis revealed that, in respect to adoption, it was found that education, experience in coconut cultivation, land holding, area under coconut, annual income, yield index, extension participation, mass media exposure, risk orientation, scientific orientation, market orientation and innovativeness had positive and significant correlation with adoption level of coconut growers regarding recommended production technology of coconut crop. In case constraint it was found that majority (94.44 %) of the respondents reported that the unavailability of healthy seedlings was a major problem while 89.81 per cent of respondents reported that non-availability of labours. Followed by 84.26 and 83.33 per cent of respondent had high cost of input and lack of market facilities, respectively.Keywords

The present study addresses the simulation of floods for the years 2003 and 2006 and the development of stage-discharge relationship along the lower Tapi River in India. The river network and cross-sections, for the present study, were extracted from the fieldsurveyed contours of the Tapi River. Using the aforesaid geometry and hydrological data, supplied by the stakeholders, the MIKE 11 hydrodynamic model was calibrated for the 1998 flood using releases from the Ukai Dam (flood hydrograph) and the tidal water level in the Arabian Sea as the upstream and downstream boundary conditions respectively. The calibrated model was validated using low- and high-flood data of the years 2003 and 2006 respectively. The time series of the simulated flood levels were compared with the corresponding observed values at four intermediate gauging stations: Kakrapar Weir, Mandavi Bridge, Ghala village and the Surat city (Nehru Bridge). The model performance was also evaluated using the standard performance index (i.e. ischolar_main mean square error) and was found to be reasonably satisfactory for such a data-scarce region. The rating curves (i.e. stage-discharge relationship) were also developed from the aforesaid calibrated model which would be useful in flood forecasting and development of flood protection measures along the lower Tapi River.Keywords

Physics-based distributed models are useful in identification of critical erosion-prone areas and planning soil conservation measures in the catchment. In this study, soil and water assessment tool (SWAT), a semidistributed hydrological model, is utilized for modelling sediment yield in Upper Tapi Basin, India. Twelve years of observed runoff and sediment yield data are used for calibration and validation of the aforesaid model. The performance indicators, viz. Nash- Sutcliffe efficiency and ratio of ischolar_main-mean-squared error to standard deviation showed good performance of calibrated model in prediction of sediment yield for independent datasets. The two adjoining subcatchments in the basin have shown contrasting behaviour with reference to sediment yield due to differences in their topography, land use-land cover, soil and climatic conditions. Also, simulated erosions at hydrological response units levels, enabled the investigators to demarcate the critical erosion-prone areas in the catchment. The SWAT model has further been used to assess the performance of various soil conservation measures, such as providing filter strips and stone bunds, in the critical erosion prone areas in reducing the sediment yield. Both soil conservations measures, being applied on equal areas, yielded comparative performance in controlling erosion from the catchment.Keywords

At present so many rural youth are students of open and distance education and are living in rural areas having different aspirations, habits and values of life. The development of personal, social, economical and spiritual aspects of these students are possible, only when their aspirations, habits and values of life are recognized early and guided properly. Therefore, in this study, aspirations regarding agri- enterpreneurship of the rural students were considered and conducted in open agriculture education centres located in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra which would be useful to the agencies involved in the development of them. The exploratory design was used and the data from 120 open agriculture education centres students were collected with the help of interview schedule. The findings emerged out of the present investigation was that the half of the respondents had high level of aspiration about agri-entrepreneurship and it has been revealed that majority of the respondents were aspired as “Yes” with the statements that, to start own agribusiness.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out at AICRP on water management Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during 1997-98 on vertic Ustropept. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications and eight treatments. The treatments consisted of (a) four levels of NP and K through Richfield water soluble fertilizers (RWSF) viz., 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% per cent of recommended dose, (b) four levels of NPK through straight fertilizers (SF) viz., 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% per cent of recommended dose. The growth parameters such as cane height, no of internodes, girth of internodes, weight/cane and leaf area were found to be maximum in 125% RD of RWSF as compared to SF. Application of RWSF resulted into higher cane yield (153.35 t/ha) by 9% over to that of SF (141.76 t/ha). The fertilizers application through drip at 125% RD was found to be significantly superior to those of 100% RD.Keywords

A semi-coupled 1D numerical model is presented to compute transient bed and water levels of aggrading channels due to the overloading of sediments. The numerical model solves mass and momentum equations (i.e. de Saint–Venant equations) for water and continuity equations for sediments simultaneously, using explicit finite difference scheme while considering upstream and downstream boundary conditions in the channel. Series of experimental studies are reported for measurements of bed and water levels in an aggrading channel due to the overloading of uniform sediments, in a flume installed at the Advanced Hydraulics Laboratory of SVNIT. The performance of bed level variation models, with different sediment transport functions, has been validated using the laboratory measurements. The performance of the numerical model is dependent on sediment transport functions. In addition, the performance of the proposed numerical model has been verified with existing numerical models on prediction of bed level variations. The proposed numerical model with recommended sediment transport function has been found to perform better than the existing numerical models on bed level variations of uniform sediment beds.Keywords
