    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07-29) Kanaujiya, Pradeep Kumar; SIngh, R.P.
    A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20 at the Agronomy Research Farm of the Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.). The field experiment way laid out in split plot design assigning two tillage practices viz., Conventional tillage (3 ploughing) and Zero tillage (ferti-cum-seed drill) alongwith three fertility levels viz., 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1), 75 % RDF + 25% RDN- FYM (6 t ha-1) and 50% RDF + 50% RDN- FYM (12 t ha-1) in main plot. Each main plot was further divided into four sub plots to accommodate sub plot treatments i.e. weed management practices comprising Weedy check, Weed free upto 60 DAS, Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 (POE) and Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 + Metsulfuron @ 4 g a.i. ha-1 (POE) - Ready mixture. Thus a total of 24 treatment combinations were tested in the study and were replicated thrice. The soil of the experimental field was silty loam in texture having slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, but medium in available phosphorus and potassium during experimentation. The total rainfall experienced during the crop growth season was 65.5 mm in 2018-19 and 228.4 mm in 2019-20. K-7903 (halna) variety of wheat was used for sowing of the experiment. Tillage, fertility levels and weed management were done as per treatment. Other crop management practices were followed as per the recommendation of the area. Among the tillage practices, zero tillage had a significant influence on weeds, crop growth, yield attributes and yield along with nutrient uptake of wheat during both the years. In case of fertility levels, application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) exerted significantly less weed density, weed dry matter, weed index and higher weed control efficiency, crop growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient content and their uptake along with protein content during both the experimental years. Weed free upto 60 DAS recorded significantly less weed density, weed dry matter, weed index and higher weed control efficiency, crop growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient content and their uptake along with protein content during both the experimental years. Economically, combined application of M2F1W2 (Zero tillage with application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) under weed free upto 60 DAS). However, higher net returns and B: C ratio were obtained with combined application of M2F1W4 (Zero tillage with application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) under post emergence application of Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 + Metsulfuron @ 4 g a.i. ha-1 (POE)-Ready mixture) was proved superiority in terms of net returns and B: C ratio of wheat over rest of the treatments during both the years.

    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07) Singh, Sudhakar; Singh, Dr. R.S.
    The present investigation was carried out in Zaid (Summer) season 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Agronomy Research Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P). The 12 treatments comprised of four phosphorus levels viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 with three seed inoculants viz., Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB), Rhizobium and PSB + Rhizobium were tried in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The soil was silty-loam texture with slightly alkaline pH 8.1, organic carbon 0.37 %, available nitrogen 176.00 kg ha-1, available phosphorus 15.20 kg ha-1, and available potash 210.0 kg ha-1 during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The rainfall received during the crop period in first and second year was 56.8 and 476.8 mm, respectively. The relative humidity was recorded maximum during month of June in both the years of study while, the sunshine ranged from 5.6 to 9.8 hours during the first year and 1.5 to 10.2 hours during second year. Increasing levels of phosphorus significantly increased most of the growth and yield attributing characters viz., plant height, leaf area index, number of branches, number of nodules plant-1, dry matter accumulation, root length, root dry weight, root volume, root spread and yield attributes viz., number of pods plant-1, number of grains pod-1, pod length and test weight were significantly higher with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 and superior to other doses of phosphorus. All the growth characteristics, yield attributes and yield were also increased significantly due to seed inoculants. Seed inoculants PSB + Rhizobium increased significantly all these characteristics as compared to PSB and Rhizobium alone. The N, P, K and protein content and uptake of nutrient increased with increasing levels of phosphorus. The highest nutrient content and uptake were recorded with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 with PSB + Rhizobium. The highest benefit cost ratio (2.85 and 3.31) was recorded with 60 kg P2O5 + PSB + Rhizobium while lowest (0.45 and 0.62) with control + PSB during respective years. Thus for obtaining better yield and profit apply 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 in combination with seed inoculant PSB + Rhizobium for summer greengram after wheat crop.

    An experiment entitled “Effect of weed management on productivity of transplanted Rice (Oryza sativa L.)” a field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (Utter Pradesh) during Kharif 2020. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block design with four replications. The treatment consisted of weed management practices (T₁- Pretilachlor @ 1.25 kg ha-1 (PE), T₂- Bispyribac sodium @ 25g a.i. ha-1 (POE), T3- Pretilachlor @ 1.25 kg ha-1 (PE) + Bispyribac Sodium @ 25 g a.i. ha-1 (POE), T4:- Hand weeding (20 and 40 DAT), T5- Weed Free (Till mature), T6- Weedy Check) was used. The results revealed that all the growth parameters and yield attributes were significantly influenced due to different treatments. The scrutiny of data of yield attributes clearly reveals that the application of weed free till mature gave significantly the highest value of growth , yield attributes and yields followed by hand weeding (T4). Among herbicides the Pretilachlor @ 1.25 Kg ha-1(PE) + Bispyribac sodium @ 25g a.i. ha-1 (POE) (T3) having more growth ,yield attributes and yield with other rest herbicides. The highest cost of cultivation of Rs.114146.00 per ha was incurred under treatment (T5) Weed free till mature due to higher labour cost followed by 2 hand weeding (T4) Rs.87833.00. The highest gross return (130420.4 ) was obtained with treatment (T5) weed free till mature. The highest net return (85577.00 ) was obtained with treatment (T3) Pretilachlor @ 1.25 Kg ha-1(PE) + Bispyribac sodium @ 25g a.i. ha-1 (POE). The highest benefit cost ratio (2.21) was obtained with treatment (T3) Pretilachlor @ 1.25 Kg ha-1(PE) + Bispyribac sodium @ 25g a.i. ha-1 (POE).
