Sequential Cropping

<p>A sequential cropping system of soybean-lowland (NERICA L-42)-upland (NERICA 2) rice was established at Abeokuta and Ibadan (Nigeria) to evaluate the performance of the cropping system. Field trials were in split-split plot arrangement fitted into randomised complete block design and replicated three times. The first sequence had in the main plot tillage [minimum (MT) and conventional (CT)]. Soybean varieties TGx 1448-2E (V1) and TGx 1740-2F (V2) in sub-plot and spacing in sub-sub plot were 60 cm × 5 cm (R1), 60 cm × 10 (R2) and 60 cm × 15 cm (R3). Individual rice plots were established by dry dibble (DD) seeding and transplanting and sub-sub plot spacing were 15 cm × 15 cm (S1), 20 cm × 20 and 25 cm (S2) × 25 cm (S3). The sequence soybean (V1 CT R3); lowland and upland rice (S3 CT DD) was the most economically efficient (N 1,754 ha<sup>-1</sup> day<sup>-1</sup>) in Abeokuta, while soybean (V1 MT R1) and lowland and upland rice (S1 DD MT) was the most economically efficient (N 1,858 ha<sup>-1</sup> day<sup>-1</sup>) in Ibadan.</p>

The application of zinc to some selected legumes (cowpea - Vignaunguiculata L. Walp., soybean – Glycine max L. Merr. or mungbean - Vigna radiate L. Wilczek) intercropped with upland rice (OryzaesativaL.) may improve the presence of residual nitrogen in the cropping system andprotein in-take of farmers faced with protein and mineral deficiency, especially zinc in their daily food menu. Information on the effect of zinc on legumes and rice is inadequate. The study investigated zinc rate effectsonshoot zinc status, grain yieldand productivity of the crop species in sole and intercrop with upland rice. There were three separate trials laid out in a randomised complete block design with three replications. Zinc rate (0, 2, 4 and 6 Kg•ha-1) were applied to the sole and intercrop in the trials. Intercropping legumes with rice exhibited a high degree of complementarity. On average, 2 Kg Zn•ha-1 gave the highest total land equivalent ratio (LER 1.89) in soybean/rice, followed by 4 Kg Zn•ha-1 (LER 1.64) in mungbean/rice compared to other zinc rates.The application of 6 Kg Zn•ha-1 in cowpea/rice intercrop gave the highesttotal gross monetary and net returns (NR) but lowest benefit–cost ratio (BCR) compared to the other trials at the same Zn rate.In mungbean/rice intercrop,highest NR (₦263692:77•ha−1)and BCR(0.90) were exhibited at 4 Kg Zn•ha-1. The application of 4 or 6 Kg Zn•ha-1in intercropping to the selected legumespecies with upland rice enhanced productivity and financial returns in the systems.

Field trials were conducted in the wet seasons of 1997 and 1998 at Makurdi, Otukpo and Yandev in the Southern Guinea Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria to study the responses of ten soybean genotypes to intercropping. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design. The genotypes TGX 1807-19F, NCRI-Soy2, Cameroon Late and TGX 1485-1D had the highest grain yield. All the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) values were higher than unity, indicating that there is great advantage in intercropping maize with soybean. The yield of soybean was positively correlated with the days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant and leaf area, indicating that an improvement in any of these traits will be reflected in an increase in seed yield. There was a significant genotype × yield × location interaction for all traits. This suggests that none of these factors acted independently. Similarly, the genotype × location interaction was more important than the genotype × year interaction for seed yield, indicating that the yield response of the ten soybean genotypes varied across locations rather than across years. Therefore, using more testing sites for evaluation may be more important than the number of years.

ABSTRACT The upland rice farmers in Suriname use local varieties and low level technologies in the field. As a result, the upland rice grain yield is low, at about 1 000 kg ha-1. Our objective was to evaluate the use of upland rice cultivars from Suriname and Brazil, and the effect of nitrogen, N, phosphorus, P, and potassium, K, fertilizers on cultivation variables. We undertook four field trials in the Victoria Area, in the Brokopondo District, using a randomized block design each with four replications. The most productive rice varieties were BRS Esmeralda (grain yield 2 903 kg ha-1) and BRS Sertaneja (2 802 kg ha-1). The highest grain yield of 2 620 kg ha-1 was achieved with a top dressing application of 76.41 kg N ha-1 20 days after sowing. For P, the highest grain yield of 3 085 kg ha-1 was achieved with application of 98.06 kg ha-1 P2O5 applied at sowing. An application rate of 31.45 kg ha-1 of K2O at sowing achieved the highest grain yield of 2 952 kg ha-1. Together, these application rates of N, P and K resulted in rice grain yield of about 3 000 kg ha-1, which is three times greater than the national average for upland rice. We demonstrate that the use of improved rice varieties matched to the local conditions, and application of appropriate fertilizers, are management practices that can result in significant increases in rice grain yield in Suriname.

Peningkatan produksi padi lahan kering dapat dilakukan dengan sistem tumpang sari dan pemanfaatan asap cair tempurung  kelapa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh tumpangsari padi gogo-rumput dengan aplikasi asap cair tempurung kelapa terhadap karakter pertumbuhan, fisiologis, dan hasil padi gogo serta tingkat serangan hama dan patogen pada kondisi kekeringan. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan petak petak terbagi dengan tiga ulangan. Petak utama terdiri atas varietas padi gogo; Situ Bagendit, Inpago Unsoed 1 dan Situ Patenggang. Anak petak merupakan konsentrasi asap cair tempurung kelapa yaitu tanpa aplikasi, konsentrasi 1:100 dan konsentrasi 1:200. Anak-anak petak terdiri atas tanpa rumput, rumput gajah, sereh dan rumput gajah+sereh. Variabel yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah dan luas daun, jumlah anakan, kandungan prolin, kadar klorofil a dan b, jumlah gabah isi, bobot gabah petak efektif, bobot gabah ha-1, indeks panen, serta intensitas serangan hama dan patogen. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa padi gogo yang ditanam pada kondisi kekeringan dengan penanaman rumput dan aplikasi asap cair tempurung kelapa belum mampu menghasilkan produksi yang optimal. Tumpangsari padi gogo-sereh lebih memberikan dampak terhadap karakter pertumbuhan dan hasil padi gogo dibandingkan dengan aplikasi asap cair tempurung kelapa. Secara umum, hasil padi gogo < 1 t ha-1, namun varietas Situ Patenggang menunjukan hasil lebih baik dibandingkan varietas lainnya. Intensitas serangan walang sangit lebih rendah pada sistem tumpangsari padi gogo varietas Situ Patenggang-sereh. ABSTRACTRice production in the upland can be increased by multiple cropping system and coconut shell wood vinegar application. The objectives of this study was to know the effects of intercropped rice–grass with application of coconut shell wood vinegar on characters of growth, physiological, and yield of upland rice as well as intensity of pest and disease under drought condition. Split split plot design with main plot of upland rice varieties i.e. Situ Bagendit, Inpago Unsoed 1 and Situ Patenggang, sub plot consist of coconut shell wood vinegar concentration i.e. 0, 1:100 and 1:200, sub sub-plot of rice–grass intercropped i.e. no grass, Pennisetum purpureum, lemongrass and Pennisetum purpureum+lemongrass were tested with three replications. Observed variables were plant height, leaf number, leaf area, number of tillers, contents of proline, chlorophyll a and b, weight of grain in effective plot, weight of grain ha-1, harvest index and intensity of pest and disease. The results showed that rice-grass intercropped and application of coconut shell wood vinegar in drought condition has not been able to produce the optimal production. Under drought condition, intercropped rice-grass had significantly impact on the character of growth and yield of the upland rice. Generally, all upland rice varieties gained low yield (<1 t ha-1), but Situ Patenggang variety showed higher yield than other varieties and low intensity of brownhopper attack as well as in rice-lemongrass intercropped.

The rice–wheat cropping system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains is the backbone of food security in India. In the 1990s, due to the scarcity of resources, the traditional Crop Establishment (CE) method shifted from Conventional Till Puddle Transplanted Rice (CTPTR) to CT Direct Seeded Rice (CTDSR) and Zero-Till DSR (ZTDSR) in paddy; and in wheat, from Conventional Till Wheat (CTW) to Zero Till Wheat (ZTW), with residue retention in rice (RRR) or in both rice and wheat (RRRW). Shift in CE methods led to change in Weed Seed Bank (WSB) dynamics and ultimately affected the weed management program. After five years of field trials, soil samples were drawn as per 2-factors factorial randomized block design. Factor-I comprised 4-CE methods, whereas factor-II consisted of 3-soil depths (0–10, 10–20 and 20–30 cm). Results showed CTPTR-CTW and ZTDSR-ZTW (RRRW) record the highest seed bank (SB) of grasses, sedges and BLWs as total weeds, in general; and predominant weeds like Echinochloa spp., Ammania baccifera, Commelina benghalensis and Digitaria sanguinalis, in particular. It also showed the higher species richness (DMg) and Shannon–Weaver (H’) indices. CTDSR-CTW and CTDSR-ZTW (RRR) show the lowest WSB and at par with Shannon–Weaver (H’) index; further, lowest species richness (DMg) under CTDSR-CTW. Species Evenness (J’) and Simpson index (λ) vary non-significantly with CE methods. Furthermore, 0–10 cm soil depth showed the highest SB of different category of total weed, predominant weeds as well as higher values of DMg, H’, and λ; whereas reverse trend was observed in Whittaker Statistic (βW). Interaction between CE methods and soil depth revealed most of WSB lying on the top layer in case of ZTDSR-ZTW (RRRW) and CTDSR-ZTW (RRR); while CTPTR-CTW showed almost uniform WSB distribution, and in case of CTDSR-CTW, a gradual decrease in WSB with soil depth.

To find out exactly how sowing density and sowing pattern affect soybean grain yield, quality and its components in non-traditional soybean growing regions, such as Germany, two field trials have been conducted at two locations in Bavaria in 2016 and 2017. The experiments were carried out with four sowing densities (30, 50, 70, 90 seeds/m<sup>2</sup>) and four cultivars from different maturity groups (Viola 000, Lissabon 000, ES Mentor 00, Orion 00) as randomized complete block design with four replicates. Almost all evaluated traits varied significantly depending on year × location. There was no interaction between the main factors (cultivar × sowing density). The results revealed that grain yield and height of the first pod increased with increase of sowing density. The number of pods per plant and branching decreased with increasing sowing density. At higher sowing densities at flowering leaf area index was significantly higher than at lower sowing densities. The cv. ES Mentor (00) with 70 seeds/m<sup>2</sup> has proved to be a suitable cultivar in terms of yield and quality in southern Germany (&gt; 3.6 t/ha grain yield and 40% protein).

A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years (2011-2012 and 2012-2013) on fine texture soils of Agricultural college farm, Bapatla. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design in kharif season with four treatments. The treatments consisted of M1 (RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizers) - Control), M2 (10t FYM (Farm Yard Manure) ha-1 + RDF), M3 (1.5t vermicompost ha-1 + RDF), M4 (Green manuring + RDF). During the immediate rabi, the experiment was laid out in a split-plot design without disturbing the soil for succeeding maize with the four treatments given to kharif rice as main plot treatments and each of these divided into five sub-plots to receive five levels of fertilizer NPK application viz., N1 - 75% NPK, N2 - 100% NPK, N3 - 125% NPK, N4 - 150% NPK and N5 - 175% NPK for succeeding maize. Data collected on available NPK after harvest of maize crop were significantly increased with the application of 100% NPK in combination with FYM @10t ha-1 to preceding rice crop, irrespective of the NPK levels applied to succeeding maize crop. However, it was on par with that of green manuring together with 100% NPK during both the years of the study.

Field trials were conducted during 2011 and 2012 cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State located in Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. The objective of the study was to evaluate the response of some improved sweet potato varieties planted at three densities to intercropping with soybean. The experiment was a 2x3x3 split-split plot laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plot consisted of two cropping systems [sole cropping (sweet potato, soybean) and intercropping (sweet potato + soybean). The sub-plot consisted of three sweet potato varieties (CIP440037, NRSP/05/007C and CIP440141). The sub-sub-plot treatment comprised of three sweet potato planting densities (25,000 plants/ha, 33,000 plants/ha and 50,000 plants/ha). Intercropping severely depressed the yields of both sweet potato varieties and the soybean component, such that intercrop yields were rarely above 50% of sole crop yields, irrespective of the sweet potato variety used. The number and weight of the sweet potato component was not significantly affected at the planting density of 50,000 plants/ha. Indices used to measure intercrop advantage showed that intercropping these sweet potato varieties with soybean was biologically efficient and percentage land saved varied from 23.08 and 32.43. Soybean was more competitive than sweet potato at all densities tested.

Fourteen field trials were conducted on farmers' fields in five villages of the Union Territory of Delhi, India during 1995–96 and 1996–97 to study the effect of introducing a crop of summer mungbean on the productivity of a rice–wheat cropping system. Timely sown summer mungbean yielded 0·4–1·3 t/ha protein-rich grain and, on average, increased rice yields by 0·5–0·9 t/ha and the yields of the succeeding wheat by 0·4–0·7 t/ha. The yield response of rice to the summer mungbean crop was greater when less urea-N fertilizer was applied, and N applied to the rice did not decrease the residual effect of the summer mungbean on the succeeding wheat. The increase in total productivity of rice–wheat cropping system due to summer mungbean ranged from 0·3 to 2·6 t/ha with an average of 1·6 t/ha.

<p>Intercropping is one way of increasing land productivity. The research was aimed to determine the suitability of soybean promising lines for maize + soybean intercropping based on land productivity assessed by land equivalent ratio (LER). The research was conducted at Kendalpayak Station Research, Malang, in February to May 2016, using factorial randomized block design, repeated three times. The first factor was cropping system (monoculture and intercropping), the second factor was 55 soybean genotypes. Spacing for maize in the intercropping system was 2.2 m x 0.5 m x 0.2 m, and for soybean was 0.35 m x 0.10 m. In monoculture, spacing for maize was 0.75 m x 0.25 m and for soybean was 0.35 m x 0.10 m. The results showed there was five genotypes suitable for intercropping of maize + soybean based LER value, ie G//IT7-3, M0706//MI196-3, M0706//MI197-4, M0706//MI199-1, and M0706//MI199-2, with LER value of more than 1. Intercropping of maize with these soybean lines, gives a higher land productivity than monoculture.<br /><br />Keywords: Glycine max (L.)
