Soil And Water

A study was conducted in Soil and Water Management Research Institute, Thanjavur with different combination of seed treatments and foliar spray on growth parameters of rice and its seed yield. Paddy variety Anna (R) 4 seeds were invigourated with different seed treating chemical/biocontroll agents viz., 1% Potassium Chloride, 750 PPM Gelatin (commercial grade), 2% Pigmented Facultative Methylotroph (PPFM) for 12 hours soaking and dried back to original moisture content of 13%. The seeds were dibbled with a spacing of 20 x 10 cm and other recommended package of practice was followed to all the plots. Foliar nutrition on 60 and 90 days after sowing was done with 2% DAP, 4 % cowpea sprout extract and 4 % horsegram sprout extract were applied. Seeds hardened with 2% Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotroph (PPFM) for 12 hrs and foliar spray with 4 % cowpea sprout extract on 60 and 90 days after sowing recorded significant enhancement in productive tillers, seeds /panicle, 1000 seed weight and 11 per cent higher seed yield than the control.

The Cost

Since 1900 seven successive stages can be distinguished in the development of agricultural engineering and in land and water management research in the Netherlands. The development process is traced from the introduction of fertilizers during 1900-1930, through mechanisation, improvement of water management and land accessibility, and increase in the size and specialisation of units, to increasing emphasis on the ecological and recreational value of land. The main features of economical development in agriculture after 1945 are disucssed, including changes in production volume, structure and costs, labour input and productivity, and the cost of wages. The influence of land and water management projects on the rise in agricultural productivity is considered, together with the present policy of selective growth.

Increasing Temperature

Abstract Due to climate change and an increasing temperature, drought is prevailing in several parts of the globe. Therefore, drought monitoring is a challenging task in hydrology and water management research. Drought is occurring recurrently in various climatic zones around the world. In literature, in that respect, there are several drought monitoring indicators. Regardless of their pros and cons, their abounded creates a chaotic scenario in analysis and reanalysis in certain gauge station. This research aims to improve drought monitoring system by providing a comprehensive data mining approach under principle component analysis. Consequently, we propose a new index named: Seasonal Mixture Standardized Drought Index (SMSDI). In our preliminary analysis, we have included three multiscaler Standardized Drought Indices (SDIs). In application, we have applied our proposed indicator on three meteorological gauge stations located in Pakistan. For comparative assessment, individual SDI has used to investigate the association and consistency with SMSDI. Results presented in the current study demonstrated that the SMSDI has significant correlation with individual SDIs. Hence, we conclude that the procedure of SMSDI can be deployed in hydrology and water management research for extracting reliable information related to future drought.

A field experiment was conducted at Irrigation Water Management Research Centre (IWMRC) Belavatgi, Navalgund taluk of Dharwad district under Vertisols during rabi 2013-15 to study the effect of irrigation and hydrogel application on chickpea varieties in Malaprabha Command area. Irrigation effects were non significant, however irrigation scheduled at 0.4 IW/CPE + 2.5 kg ha-1 hydrogel recorded higher grain yield (2136 kg ha-1) as compared to irrigation scheduled at 0.6 IW/CPE (2087 kg ha-1) and 0.4 IW/CPE (2025 kg ha-1). It also recorded significantly higher WUE (13.34 kg/ha mm) over 0.6 IW/CPE (8.15 kg/ha mm). Among the varieties ‘JG-11’ recorded significantly higher grain yields (2309 kg ha-1) over other varieties, however they did not affect the WUE. Interaction effect of irrigation levels and varieties was significant for grain yield and WUE. ‘A-1’, ‘JG-11’ and ‘JAKI-9218’ varieties with 2.5 kg ha-1 hydrogel recorded significantly higher WUE and were on par. ‘JG-11’ variety with 0.6 IW/CPE recorded higher gross returns (Rs. 92660/ha), net returns (Rs. 69800/ha) and B:C ratio (3.05).

Different Levels

A field experiment comprised of four different levels of management allowable depletion (MAD) of soil moisture for next irrigation to potato crop under drip irrigation was conducted during 2017-18 and repeated during 2018-19 at Water Management Research Farm, Renala Khurd, Okara, Pakistan. Cropwat 8.0 program was used to determine the interval and depth of next irrigation at 15, 30, 45 and 60% MAD of soil moisture. The experiments during both the years were organized in RCBD fashion with four replications. Irrigation to potato crop at 30% MAD level depicted the highest water productivity (17.28 kg/m3), followed by 60%, 15% and 45% MAD levels with water productivity values of 16.90, 16.63 and 14.60 kg/m3, respectively. The highest tuber yield was obtained when potato crop was irrigated at 60% MAD level (28.411 tons ha-1), followed by 30% MAD level (27.998 tons ha-1), 15% MAD level (26.736 tons ha-1) and 45% MAD level (24.081 tons ha-1). The maximum %age of medium sized tubers was achieved by applying irrigation to potato crop at 60% MAD level (65.70), followed by 30% MAD level (65.50), 45% MAD level (64.00) and 15% MAD level (60.50). The incidence of scab was found 2.50%, 2.75%, 3.25% and 3.75% in potato tubers at 15, 30, 45 and 60% MAD level, respectively indicating that the incidence of disease increased slightly with increase in MAD level.
