Camelina sativa L. is an oilseed crop with wide nutritional and industrial applications. Because of favorable agronomic characteristics of C. sativa in a water-limiting environment interest in its production has increased worldwide. In this study the effect of different irrigation regimes (I0 = three irrigations, I1 = two irrigations, I2 = one irrigation and I3 = one irrigation) on physio-biochemical responses and seed yield attributes of two C. sativa genotypes was explored under semi-arid conditions. Results indicated that maximum physio-biochemical activity, seed yield and oil contents appeared in genotype 7126 with three irrigations (I0). In contrast water deficit stress created by withholding irrigation (I1, I2 and I3) at different growth stages significantly reduced the physio-biochemical activity as well as yield responses in both C. sativa genotypes. Nonetheless the highest reduction in physio-biochemical and yield attributes were observed in genotype 8046 when irrigation was skipped at vegetative and flowering stages of crop (I3). In genotypic comparison, C. sativa genotype 7126 performed better than 8046 under all I1, I2 and I3 irrigation treatments. Because 7126 exhibited better maintenance of tissue water content, leaf gas exchange traits and chlorophyll pigment production, resulting in better seed yield and oil production. Findings of this study suggest that to achieve maximum yield potential in camelina three irrigations are needed under semi-arid conditions, however application of two irrigations one at flowering and second at silique development stage can ensure an economic seed yield and oil contents. Furthermore, genotype 7126 should be adopted for cultivation under water limited arid and semi-arid regions due to its better adaptability.

Aim: The existing research was undertaken to approximate the significance of interactive effects of varieties X fertilizer doses in mustard crop with saline water irrigation undersemi-arid conditions of Haryana. Methodology: The experiment comprised of mustard varieties viz. Kranti, Giriraj, CS-54 and CS-58 and three fertilizer doses viz. recommended fertilizer dose (RDF), i.e., 60:20:20, 125% of recommended fertilizer dose and 150% of recommended fertilizer dose under semi-arid conditions of Haryana. The study was carried out in a split plot design with varieties in main plots and fertilizer doses in subplots irrigated with 7 dSm-1 saline water. Results: Statistical analysis devised that both variety and fertilizer doses had significant effect on plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of siliquae per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, seed and straw yield. The interaction of variety and fertilizer dose had significant effect only on the seed yield. All the treatments and varieties were found economically positive but 150% fertilizer dose was proved to be more economical with highest net returns and B: C ratio in variety Giriraj, Kranti, CS-54 and CS- 58, respectively. Interpretation: Amongst four varieties CS-58 was better performer for all the growth and yield parameters with application of 150% recommended fertilizer dose under saline water irrigation.

Field experiments were conducted at the Central Farm of the Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai, India during the rabi (October-January) seasons of 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 in a split plot design with three replications. The soil of the experiments was sandy clay loam with a neutral reaction. The main plot consisted of six irrigation schedules with mid-season drainage, while four N splits were taken as sub- plots. The experimental results revealed that irrigation to a depth of 5 cm one day after the disappearance of ponded water and mid-season drainage, along with N applied in four splits, with 16.7% at 10 days after transplanting, 33.3% at active tillering, 33.3% at panicle initiation and 16.7% at the heading stage, produced significantly higher growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yields in hybrid rice. A combination of the above treatments led to maximum grain yields of 7533 and 8078 kg ha-1 (45.53 and 45.86% in excess of the control) in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001, respectively.
