    SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR CLIMATE SMART INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2022) Kharche Priyanka Pramod; Surve, U.S.
    The present investigation entitled, “Sustainable resource management for climate smart integrated farming system” was carried out during 2018-2019 to 2019-2020 at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Integrated Farming Systems, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, District Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. The integrated farming system was planned for 1.00 ha area and consisted of crop component, horticulture component, livestock component (dairy, goat, poultry) and vermicompost. Seven integrated farming systems were formulated by using suitable combinations of different components in the farming system. The integrated farming systems were as follows, T1: Crop + Horticulture + Dairy + Vermicompost, T2: Crop + Horticulture + Goat+ Vermicompost, T3: Crop + Horticulture + Poultry + Vermicompost, T4: Crop + Horticulture + Dairy + Goat + Vermicompost, T5: Crop + Horticulture + Dairy + Poultry + Vermicompost, T6: Crop + Horticulture + Goat + Poultry + Vermicompost and T7: Crop + Horticulture + Dairy + Goat + Poultry + Vermicompost, respectively. The productivity of each component was worked out on the basis of sugarcane equivalent yield. The maximum SEY (125 t ha-1) was calculated in poultry component of integrated farming system. It was followed by crop component having SEY 86 t ha-1. The combination of the entire components (crop, horticulture, dairy, goat, poultry and vermicompost) i.e. treatment T7: Crop + Horticulture + Dairy + Goat + Poultry + Vermicompost gave the higher sugarcane equivalent yield (375 SEY t ha-1).

    EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SOURCES OF NITROGEN AND LEVELS OF PHOSPHORUS ON SUMMER SESAMUM (Sesamum indicum L.)
    (MPKV, Pune, 2014) KANA RAM YADAV; Deshmukh, S.B.
    The present investigation on “Effect of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen and levels of phosphorus on summer Sesamum (Sesamum indicum L.)” was conducted on plot number 22, A Division, Agronomy Farm College of Agriculture, Pune - 5, Dist. Pune (Maharashtra) during summer, 2013. The experimental field was uniform and leveled, clayey in texture. Soil was low in available nitrogen (158.71 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorus (21.09 kg ha-1) and very high in potassium (413.43 kg ha-1) with slightly alkaline in reaction (7.6) and medium in organic carbon content (0.57) with low EC (0.24 dSm-1). The moisture at field capacity and permanent wilting point on weight basis were (36.84 %) and (18.17 %) respectively. The bulk density was (1.29 g cm-3).

    INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT WITH LOW VOLUME HERBICIDES IN KHARIF SWEET CORN (Zea mays var. saccharata)
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2014) KOKANI RAJANI BHAURAM; Kamble, A.B.
    A field experiment entitled, “Integrated weed management with low volume herbicides in kharif sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata)” was conducted during kharif season, 2013-14 at, Post Graduate Institute Instructional Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra). The experimental field was uniform and leveled, clayey in texture, low in available nitrogen (215.30 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorus (17.20 kg ha-1) and very high in potassium (483.44 kg ha-1) with moderately alkaline in reaction (pH 7.90). The field capacity and permanent wilting point were 39.16 and 19.02 per cent, respectively. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and eight treatments. The gross and net plot sizes were 5.20 m × 3.60 m and 4.80 m × 2.40 m, respectively. The recommended fertilizer dose (120 kg N, 60 kg P2O5 and 40 kg K2O ha-1) was applied through Urea (46 per cent N), Single super phosphate (16 per cent P2O5) and Murate of potash (60 per cent K2O).

    EFFECT OF SHADING INTENSITY MANIPULATED THROUGH DIFFERENT SHADE NET COLOURS AND FERTILIZER LEVELS ON BEETROOT (Beta vulgaris L.)
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2014) Ramdayal Meena; Andhale, R.P.
    An experiment entitled “Effect of shading intensity manipulated through different shade net colours and fertilizer levels on beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.)” was conducted in a specially designed shade net at Post Graduate Institute Instructions Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (M.S.), during rabi season 2010-11. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design (Factorial) and replicated three times. The treatments consisted of three shade net colours viz. green, red and black and three shading intensities viz. 35, 50 and 75 per cent shading intensities and two fertilizer levels viz., 100 and 125% RDF.
