A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at KVK, Indore to study the effect of different land configuration on the yield of soybean. The experiment consisted of three treatments of land configuration, viz., T1 (FIRBS layout), T2 (Ridge and furrow layout), T3 (BBF layout), under RBD design with seven replications. Result showed that significant increase was observed in yield contributing characters viz., number of pods plant-1, 100 seed weight (g), seed yield (q ha-1) and harvest index (%) in FIRBS layout as compared to ridges and furrow and broad bed furrow. The net return is the best index of profitability of soybean crop and higher net return per ha of Rs. 24699 was recorded for soybean crop under the FIRBS whereas lower net return per ha of Rs. 20808 was recorded under BBF land configuration.Keywords
Soybean, Land Configuration, Yield Attributes.

Onion is being cultivated at around 14.34 thousand hectare with production of 440.28 thousand tonnes (2015-16) in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. It is being grown mainly for storage or direct sale to the market. Maximum area (95 %) under onion cultivation was recorded 13.600 thousand hac with production of 429.90 thousand tonnes during Rabi season. Out of 429.90 thousand tonnes of total production hardily 20 per cent (87.10 thousand tonnes ) was stored under different storage structure and 72 per cent (278.315 thousand tonnes) onion were sold out directly to the market within 15 days of harvesting and remaining 15 per cent ( 64.485 thousand tonnes) recorded as post harvest losses. As a result during March to May prices of onion rule very low due to glut situation, thereafter, the rise in prices is quite rapid and sometimes wide fluctuation come about. Through intervention of technology by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kasturbagram as pre-harvest and post harvest technology management, enhancement of self-life and promotion of farmer’s feasible storage structure were laid out with the help of Department of Horticulture, Government of Madhya Pradesh for promotion of onion storage warehouse.Keywords
