Four Levels

SUMMARYSix intercropping systems and four levels of nitrogen were compared at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, in the summer rainy seasons (July-October) of 1978 and 1979. The maximum increase in sorghum yield was obtained when it was associated with fodder cowpea, followed by association with grain cowpea and greengram. The application of 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha−1 increased sorghum yield by 8.6, 16.1 and 18.2% in 1978 and by 2.9, 8.1 and 14.1% in 1979, respectively, compared with unfertilized sorghum. The nitrogen uptake by sorghum, and by the total system, was greater in sorghum-legume intercropping systems than in sole sorghum. Nitrogen application also increased the nitrogen uptake by sorghum and by the whole system.

A field study conducted for two years at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi showed that intercropping potato with fenugreek is highly profitable and provides some in-season income to the potato growers. It also serves as an insurance against complete loss of income when the potato prices crash in the market.

In the publication by Kaur et al. (2020), the depository for the holotype of Chimarra gangtokensis new species was given as “(NPC)”, but no corresponding explanation for this acronym was provided in that publication. Therefore, the name of the species is unavailable (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature 1999, Art. 16.4.2). We clarify here that the holotype is a male deposited in the National Pusa Collection, Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Pusa, New Delhi (NPC). The purpose of this note is to validate the name of the new species from the publication date of this erratum by a reference to the original description and diagnosis as an indication (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature 1999, Art. 13.1.2).

SummaryA field experiment, made during the rainy seasons oof 1982 and 1983 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, studied the effects of blending urea with dicyandiamide (DCD) on the yield and yield components of rice. DCD-blended urea was as effective as neem-cake-coated urea in respect of yield components as well as grain and straw yield of rice and when all the nitrogen was applied 10 days after transplanting both the materials produced significantly more grain and straw than prilled urea. Urea super granules (USG) were superior to DCD-blended, as well as neem-coated, urea.

Mixed Stands

SummaryHeight variability in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars permits growing them in systematic mixed stands and such mixtures are reported to lead to better utilization of solar radiation. Studies on such wheat mixtures are limited. A field experiment was therefore conducted for two wheat seasons (1974–5 and 1975–6) at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to compare the yield potentials of the mixed and pure stands of three spring wheat cultivars varying in plant height. Two kinds of canopy stands, namely, pyramidal and columnar, were created by making appropriate row arrangements of the cultivars while seeding. Mixed stands gave significantly higher straw yields and the grain yield was also significantly higher than the highest yielding cultivar in its pure stand at a high rate of nitrogen application (120 kg N/ha).
