Direct Seeded

Poor early growth and uneven crop establishment are reported as the major bottlenecks in wide-scale adoption and optimal yield realization of dry direct-seeded rice (DSR). Seed priming can potentially help overcome these problems in DSR. Therefore, laboratory and field studies were conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India, during kharif/wet-season 2018 and 2019 to evaluate the effect of different priming techniques on germination, establishment, growth, and grain yield of rice under DSR conditions. The following priming treatments were evaluated: dry non-primed seed (control), hydropriming with distilled water, halopriming with 2.0% potassium nitrate, hormopriming with 50 ppm gibberellic acid (GA3), and osmopriming with polyethylene glycol (PEG)(−0.6 MPa), each with 12 and 24 h priming duration. In 2019, priming treatments were tested under two DSR establishment methods—conventional DSR (sowing in dry soil followed by irrigation) and soil mulch DSR (locally known as vattar DSR) (sowing in moist soil after pre-sowing irrigation), whereas in 2018, priming treatments were evaluated under conventional DSR only. In both years, halopriming and hormopriming resulted in a 7–11% increase in rice yields compared to non-primed dry seed (control). Osmopriming resulted in a 4% yield increase compared to control in 2018 but not in 2019. The higher yields in halopriming and hormopriming were attributed to higher and rapid germination/crop emergence, better root growth, and improvement in yield attributes. Priming effect on crop emergence, growth, and yield did not differ by DSR establishment methods and duration of priming. Conventional DSR and soil mulch DSR did not differ in grain yield, whereas they differed in crop emergence, growth, and yield attributes. These results suggest that halopriming with 2.0% potassium nitrate and hormopriming with 50 ppm GA3 has good potential to improve crop establishment and yield of rice in both conventional and soil mulch DSR systems.

The field experiment was conducted during kharif 2014 and 2015 at ZARS, V. C. Farm, Mandya to study the effect of precision nitrogen management on growth, yield and economics of drip irrigated maize. There were 9 treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Complete Block Design. Among the various treatments, drip fertigation of nitrogen through Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) meter sufficiency index of 95-100 per cent under paired row (30/90) recorded significantly higher growth and yield parameters viz., plant height, LAI, total dry matter production, cob length, number of rows per cob, number of kernels per cob and cob weight along with kernel (85.73 and 86.78 q/ha) and stover yield (140.4 and 145.3 q/ha) during both the years of experimentation as compared to UAS Bangalore package with surface irrigation and normal spacing of 60 cm X 30 cm and was being on par with nitrogen management through Leaf Colour Chart (LCC) 6, SPAD sufficiency index of 90-95 per cent and LCC 5. The SPAD sufficiency index of 95-100 per cent registered higher net returns (Rs. 69,634 and Rs. 77,614, respectively) and B:C ratio (2.82 and 3.00, respectively) followed by LCC 6.

Integrated Nitrogen Management

The present study was conducted in research plots of Central Horticultural Research station (CHES) during Rabi season 2018-2019 on Integrated Nitrogen management in chilli under lateritic soils of Odisha. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising of eight treatments replicated thrice. It was observed that the substitution of N through vermicompost to the extent of 50% and remaining 50% as urea proved to be considered as the best treatment amongst different combinations of organic sources with urea (RDF). The highest yield of chilli i.e. both pod yield (14511.4 kg ha-1) and stover yield (901.05 kg ha-1) and plant growth such as plant height, flowering, fruiting, fruit length, fruit girth was observed in T5 due to combination of 50% of N as urea and 50% of N as VC. Integrated use of organic manures along with chemical fertilizers not only produced highest and sustainable crop yields but also enhanced plant growth due to quick mineralization and easy availability.
