A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season 2011-12 at Model Watershed of Agro-Ecology and Environment Centre, College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola to study evaluation of in situ soil and water conservation measures in terms of improvement in crop growth, production and water use efficiency. There were total six treatments viz., cultivation along the slopes (T1), cultivation along the slope with opening of tide furrow (30 DAS) (T2), cultivation across the slope with opening of alternate furrow (30 DAS) (T3), cultivation across the slope with ridges and furrows (30 DAS) (T4), contour cultivation with opening of alternate furrow (30DAS) (T5), contour cultivation with opening of ridges and furrows (30 DAS) (T6). Biometric observations such as plant height (cm), number of branches were favorably influenced in treatment T6 followed by treatment T5, T4, T3, T2 and treatment T1.Treatment (T6) of in-situ soil and water conservation measure had maximum B: C ratio of 2.17) followed by 2.10(T5), 1.99(T4), 1.86(T3), 1.74(T2) and 1.70 for treatment T1. Water use efficiency was more dominant in treatment T6 i.e. (2.63 kg ha-1 mm-1) followed by 2.57(T5), 2.34(T4), 2.18(T3), 2.01(T2) and 1.89 in treatment T1. Productivity of cotton was favorably influenced by treatment T6.The increase in productivity was 38.26 per cent over along the slope cultivation followed by rest of the treatments. The maximum production efficiency for treatment T6 was maximum 8.10 kg ha-1 day-1 and Rs.192.6 ha-1 day-1, respectively, followed by treatment T5, T4, T3, T2 and treatment T1.Keywords

Removal of the turbidity from the sewage water by phytorid sewage treatment plant has been studied on Agril College Maharajbag, Nagpur during the year 2012-2013. The objective of this investigation was to study the efficacy of the phytorid sewage treatment plant in turbidity removal from the sewage water and to determine the optimum condition using the response surface methodology. A Box-Behnken model has been employed as an experimental design. The effect of three independent variables namely hydraulic loading i.e. flow (50-150 m3 d-1), dilution (10-80 %) and spatial length (16-100 %) has been studied on the turbidity removal from the sewage water in bench mode of the experiment. The optimal conditions of the turbidity removal were found to be flow: 150 m3 d-1, dilution: 65.13 per cent and spatial length: 87.65 per cent. Under these experimental conditions, the experimental turbidity removal obtained was 7 mg L-1. The proposed model equation using the RSM has shown good agreement with the experimental data, with a correlation co-efficient (R2) of 0.9743. The result showed that optimised condition could be used for the efficient removal of the turbidity from the sewage water.Keywords

The micro irrigation is one of the water saving method of irrigation being employed at large in various countries. Government of Maharashtra has given more emphasis to micro-irrigation system and adopting them on large scale to save water. Drip irrigation is a novel irrigation method in India. The advantage of drip irrigation is that liquid fertilizers can be added in the irrigation water. It also diminishes leaching of nutrients. The installation costs are too high for the production of most annual crops but the production of high value perennial crops is economically profitable. An experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Sindewahi, distt. Chandrapur, to study the performance of drip irrigation on growth and development of horticultural crops viz., mango, sapota and cashew nut at Ranwadi Water shed during the year 2002-03 to 2004-05. The result revealed the effect of drip irrigation treatment on growth and development of mango, sapota and cashew nut. It was found that the treatment 40 litres water day-1 plant-1 through drip was found superior than all other other treatment in respect of height (30.33), canopy (1043) and diameter (2.92) stem of mango plant. In respect of sapota plant, treatment 60 litre water day-1 plant-1 was found satisfactorily superior in respect of height (28.4), canopy (787) and diameter (2.82) stem of sapota plant. In respect of cashew nut plant the treatment 60 litre of water alternate day-1 plant-1 were found statistically significant and they were at par in case of height (33.70), canopy (1341) and diameter (3.18) stem of Cashew nut plant.Keywords

Water balance study on Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Sindewahi, Distt.Chandrpur was conducted on 9 open wells during the rainfall 2005-06. During the year total rainfall received was only 1422 mm. The study indicated that the availability of total water balance during the year was about 964.94 mm (67.84 %) of the total rainfall. Out of the total rainfall 8per cent was surface runoff, about 18.67 per cent ground water recharge (Yg) and 37 per cent soil moisture storage. Maximum (75.45 ha-m) ground water storage was observed in the month of September followed by 63.45 ha-m in the month August and minimum (16.50 ha-m) in the month of June. The monthly ground water fluctuations were determined by considering the month of May as the driest season. The average ground water level was found higher 455 cm in the month of September and maximum seasonal fluctuation of ground water level was observed in well No. 2 i.e. 612 cm. The study indicated the annual status of ground water potential.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted on cropping systems for in situ soil and moisture conservation during the Kharif season of 2012-13 at Agro-ecology and Environment Centre, Dr. P.D.K.V., Akola. The main objective was to estimate in situ soil and moisture conservation and to study the effect on crop growth and productivity. The experiment consisted of two crops viz., cotton (variety-AKA-7) and soybean (variety- JS-335) with eight treatments of cropping systems and cultivation practices. Data pertaining to the growth and yield of soybean (JS-335) and cotton (AKA-7) indicated the favorable effects of 30 cm deep cultivation in medium deep soil under sole and intercropping systems. Results on growth parameters revealed that the performance of soybean crop in terms of plant height, no. of branches, no. of pods, grain yield, straw yield and WUE under 30 cm deep cultivation was found better in both, sole (T5) and intercropping systems (T7) over shallow cultivation (T2 and T4). The performance of the cotton crop in terms of plant height, no. of branches and picked bolls per plant, seed cotton, stalk yield and WUE under deep cultivation was found better in both, sole (T6) and intercropping systems (T7) over T3 and T4 under shallow cultivation. The maximum soil moisture content up to the depth of 60 cm was observed 11.08 to 17.86 per cent in T7 followed by T6 (10.96 to 17.17 %) and minimum in T5 (10.76 to 16.98 %).Over the treatment of T2, T3 and T4, respectively. The maximum increase in soil moisture content was observed 10.12 to 15.94 per cent in T5 followed by T6 (8.25 to 12.29 %) and T7 (9.48 to 10.79 %) over the treatment of T2, T3 and T4, respectively.Keywords

Precipitation deficit of wan river basin was assessed using CROPWAT. It also cleared that more or less the effective rainfall was constant around 600 mm over entire basin. Soil moisture deficit decreased from Wari Bhairavgarh to Khatkali i.e. from low to high altitude. There was no precipitation deficit in case of soybean crop whereas it was observed maximum for pigeon pea followed by cotton. Daily soil moisture deficit analysis confirmed that readily soil moisture is available though less than field capacity, to satisfy ETc need of plants up to last decade of September. Thus, two protective irrigations should required during the month of October-November for maintaining optimal growing conditions in the basin.Keywords
