Assessment of Growth and Biomass Production among Different Varieties of Chickpeas in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh

Chickpeas are the most popular pulse crop of India, popularly known as gram or Bengal gram, mainly grown in Rabi season. Chickpeas are a rich source of highly digestible dietary protein. Though the crop has huge importance, no detailed studies are available on morphological and growth parameters with reference to this crop sown in the Bundelkhand region of India. Here, we compared the plant growth and yield among different varieties of chickpea under farmer’s field conditions and screened the high yielding varieties for the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Different varieties of chickpeas viz., Avrodhi, Subhra, Ujjwal, Red gold, Pant-G-186, JG-11, Radhey, DCP-92-3, and HK94134 were analyzed in terms of growth and morphological parameters to screen the best adaptive variety with the highest yield under rain-fed conditions of that particular region. Field evaluation based on phenological traits and biomass patterns was carried out in randomized plots with three replicates for each variety. We observed significant differences in the majority of evaluated traits among the different varieties. Although, the plant height was better in the variety “Ujjwal” altogether, “Radhey” variety was observed to have the highest pod number. The above-ground biomass was again highest in Radhey with an average of 31.77 ± 3.38 g plant-1 followed by Avarodhi (30.33 ± 2.64 g plant-1) and Subhra 19.83 ± 3.08. From the present findings, it may be concluded that variety Radhey has the highest carbon sequestration potential with the highest yield in the rain-fed conditions, followed by Avarodhi and JG-11.

The present field experiment entitled ‘Nutrient management and carbon sequestration potential of the rubber-based intercropping system in Western Ghat region of Karnataka’ was conducted at farmers’ field of Harishi village of Soraba taluka of Shivmogga District, Karnataka, India during 2017 to 2019. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Two practices applied on rubber was the application of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) as an organic practice and NPK as inorganic practice and nine treatments consisting of different organic manures biofertilizers and NPK as inorganic fertilizer was applied on Bird’s Eye Chilli (BEC) grown as an intercrop. The results showed that application of NPK on rubber resulted in a maximum mean annual increment in basal diameter (0.56 cm) and crown diameter (0.28 m) in one-year-old rubber and height (0.77 m), basal diameter (0.62 m) crown diameter (0.21 m) in two-year-old rubber. Among nine treatment of BEC, application of NPK resulted in higher growth parameters of rubber at both age levels. Interactions were non-significant on all growth parameters. Age and different manures also influenced the carbon sequestration potential of the system. Hence the application of NPK may be recommended for cultivation of rubber.

Field experiments were conducted to study the effects of jimsonweed (Datura stramoniumL.) densities and planting dates on the growth and yield of soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Amsoy 71’]. Jimsonweed densities of 1.5 and 2 plants/m2did not reduce the dry weight of soybean leaf, stem, root, or pod and seed tissues, leaf area index, plant height, pod number, or seed yield when soybeans and jimsonweed were planted at the same time. Weed densities ranging from 3 to 16 plants/m2did reduce one or more of these soybean growth parameters. A significant density-by-year interaction was observed in which soybean growth reductions caused by high jimsonweed densities were less when competition for water was minimized by above-average precipitation in 1 of the 2 yr. No density of jimsonweed that emerged when soybeans were at the fourth trifoliolate-leaf stage reduced crop growth or yield.

One major problem of low mungbean production in Indonesia is the lack of high yielding varieties for marginal land. A study was done with an objective to compare growth and yield of twelve mung bean genotypes on ultisol fertilized with several doses of cow manure. Twelve mung bean genotypes were grown in a field under a randomized complete block design arranged in a Split Plot Design with 3 replications. The Main Plots were four doses of cow manure, i.e. 0, 3, 6 or 9 ton.ha-1 and the Sub-Plots were twelve mungbean genotypes, i.e. VR 3, VR 61, VR 88, VR 200, VR 204 K, VR 213 K, VR 266 ct, VR 341, VR 368, VR 601 m, VR 222 Walet and VR 1074 Vinna-1. The result showed that the interaction between cow manure doses and mungbean genotypes was only occured on number of leaf. Genotype VR 61 demonstrated the highest plant stature, the greatest pod number, the heafiest pod and seeds per plant. Increasing dose of cow manure until 9 tons.ha-1did not reach the optimum level for the growth and yield of mungbean genotypes yet, except on the number of leaf variable on genotype VR 3, VR 88, VR 200, VR 266 ct and VR 601.

The research was conducted at Beltari Sandhikharka-10, Arghakhanchi district to study about the effect of various doses of boron on growth and yield attributing characters of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) during off-season from February to June in 2020. Five treatments; B0 (control/no application), B1: 2kg/ha, B2: 4kg/ha, B3: 6kg/ha, B4: 8kg/ha which are the different doses of boron application were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications. The growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant leaf length and leaf breadth of largest leaf were recorded multiple times with 15 days interval. Days to curd initiation and Days from curd initiation to harvest were recorded by regular field observation. The yield parameters; curd weight with leaves, Marketable curd weight, average curd yield, incidence of hollowing were recorded during harvest. The economics from application of boron doses in cauliflower production was obtained in terms of cost of cultivation, gross returns, net returns, and benefit cost ratio. The result showed that the growth and yield attributing characters of cauliflower were significantly affected by application of boron in which the value of these parameters was found significantly higher in B1 followed by other treatments. The average curd yield of cauliflower in B1 was found to be 12.39 mt/ha which was 48.92% higher than that of B0 with curd yield 8.32 mt/ha. Similarly, the net return was found significantly the highest in B1 and the lowest in B0. The result showed that application of boron in the range of 2-4 kg/ha is preferred to control and higher doses in respect of both productivity and economics.

Effect of nitrogen and bio-fertilizer on growth and productivity of hybrid rice (cv. PHB 71) was assessed during dry seasons of 2017 and 2018 at Research Farm of BCKV under new alluvial zone of West Bengal. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with 12 treatment combinations having 4 levels of N and 3 types of bio-fertilizer replicated thrice. Application at 180 kg N/ha produced tallest plants at 90 DAT with maximum LAI (60 DAT), DMA (90 DAT), tillers/hill (90 DAT) and CGR (30-60 & 60-90 DAT). The same N rate resulted in highest panicles/m2, panicle length, panicle weight, filled grains/panicle and 1000-grain weight. A decrease in N dose from 180 to 150 kg/ha caused reduction in all those yield components; however, the variation was non-significant except for number of panicles/m2. Maximum grain yield, straw yield and harvest index was also achieved with 180 kg N/ha accounting 120.1, 34.9 and 32.8% more than the values obtained with zero-N; however, it was statistically at par with the yields and HI obtained with 150 kg N/ha. The Azospirillum application increased all the growth parameters, yield components and yield of hybrid rice over other tested bio-fertilizers (Azospirillum > PSB > K mobilizer), accounting 5.9 and 8.8% more than the yields obtained with PSB and K mobilizer. The interaction of N and bio-fertilizer exerted significant effect on growth attributes but failed to record any significant variations in yield components and yield of hybrid rice. The maximum economic benefit was achieved with combined application of 180 kg N/ha and Azospirillum.
