    Performance of late sown wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.)] varieties under conventional and zero tillage
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-11) Yadav, Rajat Kumar; Panwar, G.S.
    Wheat is the major staple food crop and a major source of energy for Indian population. India has achieved remarkable progress in wheat production during the last 4 decades and is continue to be second largest wheat producing nation in the world. The wheat production has increased manifold from 6.60 million tonnes at the time of independence to 107.18 million tonnes in during 2019-20. The present investigation entitled “Performance of late sown wheat varieties under conventional and zero tillage” was conducted in rabi season of 2019-20 at Research farm of College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda. The experiment was laid out in Split plot Design with three replications. Tillage methods were taklen in main plot (Zero tillage and conventional tillage) and five varieties ( HI1863, HI 1544, Shriram bioseed 2001, Raj 4120 and K 1317) were taken in sub plots. Results revealed that adoption of zero tillage has recorded maximum emergence count, plant height, dry matter accumulation, tillers/m2 , root length CGR, and RGR, as compared to conventional method of crop establishment. The 10.38 per cent grain yield advantage was recorded with zero till wheat as compared to conventional method. Similarly, 8.2 per cent advantage was recorded in straw yield of wheat as compared to conventional sown wheat. Crop grown under zero till condition gave highest gross return of Rs.95799/ha, net return of (Rs.60509) and B: C ratio (1.71) as against gross return (Rs. 87129/ha), net return (Rs 48554) and B:C ratio (1.25) obtained from conventional sown wheat. Maximum and minimum grain yield and straw yield were recorded with K 1317 and HI 1563, respectively. But varieties did not influence significantly in relation to yield and harvest index. Interaction effect between tillage methods and varieties were significant on emergence count, plant height at maturity, tillers production, drymatter accumulation at 60 days stage, and root length at tillering stage, spike/m2 and grains/spike. But yield and economics were not affected significantly. Therefore on the basis of results obtained, sowing of wheat by zero till method and use of K1317 variety of wheat is best combination to get higher yield and profitability.

    YIELD MAXIMIZATION OF CHICKPEA VARIETIES THROUGH WATER ABSORBENTS UNDER RAINFED LATE-SOWN CONDITION
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-11-10) Yadav, Pradeep; Singh, Amit Kumar
    This research work entitled, “Yield maximization of chickpea varieties through water absorbents under rainfed late-sown condition” was studied at the College Research Farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during the winter season of 2020-21. This experiment was conducted in split plot design with two factor-treatments and three replications with a holistic aim to search out the best variety and water absorbent that enhance the crop yield and mitigate the moisture deficit stress. The treatments consisted of main plot: three water absorbents viz., Hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 , two foliar application of Salicylic Acid @ 150ppm, Hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 followed by two foliar application of Salicylic Acid @ 150ppm and sub-plot: five varieties viz., JG-14, JG16, JG-18, JG-36 and RVG-202. The experimental soil was clayey loam in texture and was having pH 7.8 and EC 0.41 dSm-1 . It was poorly fertile being low in organic carbon content (0.41) and nitrogen (190 kg ha-1 ) and medium in available phosphorus (12.1 kg ha1 ) and potassium (220.4 kg ha-1 ). The experimental field was prepared with the help of tractor-drawn implements and stubbles of previous crops and weeds were cut into pieces by cross harrowing to obtain a coarse seedbed. The application of all fertilizers (DAP and MOP) and sowing of treated seeds was undertaken using a seed cum ferti-drill keeping 30 cm apart distance between the rows and later plant to plant distance was maintained at an interval of 10 cm. Observations on growth parameters at various stages of crop growth, quantitative and qualitative attributes of Chickpea were recorded. In general, the weather condition was less congenial during the year of experimentation that resulting in slightly poor crop yields. The conducted field study during Rabi 2020-21 reveals that Chickpea variety “JG-18” when sown on November 9th at a spacing of 30*10 cm apart and fertilized at 25:60:30 kg of N:P:K per hectare under rainfed late sown condition was performed significantly superior over other varieties irrespective of water-absorbents applied. The mixed application of water-absorbents as basal (hydrogel @5 kg/ha) and foliar (salicylic acid @ 150ppm/ha twice at flower initiation and pod formation) proved remarkable in terms of growth that maximized yield productivity, and profitability. Among the treatment combination studies, the RVG-202 with the basal application of hydrogel @ 5 kg ha-1 and two foliar sprays of Salicylic acid @ 150 ppm at flowering initiation and pod formation significantly produced more number of root nodules at 45 and 60 DAS, took more number of days to mature and out-yielded the crop productivity and maximize the crop profitability.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-11) Maurya, Shravan Kumar; Hanumant Kalhapure, Aniket
    An agronomic investigation to study the response of various mustard varieties to different irrigation scheduling treatments through critical growth stage approach was conducted during Rabi season of year 2019-20 at IFS research Unit farm in Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.- 210 001). The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with three replications. Four irrigation scheduling treatments [viz. I0: No Irrigation, I1: One Irrigation at Rosette stage, I2: One Irrigation at Pod formation and I3: Two Irrigations (1st at Rosette + 2nd at Pod Formation)] were allocated to horizontal plots; whereas two mustard varieties (viz. NRCHB-101 and PM-28) were sown in vertical plots. Higher growth attributing characters at different crop stages and yield attributing characters at harvest viz. final plant stand, plant height, number of primary & secondary branches, leaf area index, plant dry matter, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of grains per pod and test weight were produced in mustard variety NRCHB-101 with irrigating the crop for two times during rosette and pod formation stage. Similarly, higher grain & straw yield along with highest harvest index & B: C ratio and water use efficiency was recorded in variety NRCHB-101 with two irrigations as compared to all the other treatments. All these plant growth and yield attributing characters and yield along with net monetary income & B: C ratio and lowest water use efficiency was observed in variety PM-28 under the condition of no irrigation applied.

    Performance of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)-Rapeseed (Brassica campestris) intercropping system with different row ratios in Bundelkhand conditions
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-09-18) CHAUDHARY, MANTHAN; Kumar, Arun
    An investigation was carried out during rabi 2019-20 on silty clay loam soil at IFS Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda to find out the effects of different row ratios on growth and yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)-Rapeseed (Brassica campestris) intercropping system. In replacement series, six chickpea + rapeseed intercropping combinations (1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:2, 3:1, 3:2) were tried with sole chickpea and sole rapeseed in three replications. The ‘JG 14’ and ‘Pitambari’ varieties were used of crops chickpea and rapeseed, respectively. The important findings obtained from this investigation are presented here in brief: The growth and yield attributes of intercropping system were recorded significantly highest in 3:1 (chickpea + rapeseed) row ratio followed by 3:2 (chickpea + rapeseed) and 2:2 (chickpea + rapeseed). The row ratio 1:2 (chickpea + rapeseed) performed lowest among all. The 3:1 (chickpea + rapeseed) intercropping system produced significantly highest chickpea equivalent yield (28.40 q/ha), land equivalent ratio (1.32), net income (Rs 1,01,302/ha) and B: C (2.73) ratio. It is proved from these results that to get higher productivity and profit from chickpea + rapeseed intercropping, it may be grown in replacement series with row proportion of 3:1 followed by 3:2 under the Bundelkhand condition.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-12) Gupta, Devrani; Sah, Dinesh
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse legumes in many parts of the world. India is largest producer of chickpea in the world, sharing 65 and 70 % of the total global area and production, respectively. However, productivity of chickpea in India is quite low. Out of several factors responsible for low productivity losses caused due to weeds is one of the most important which averaged out to be 30-54 %. Considering these facts an experiment was carried out at Research Farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during Rabi season of 2019-20. The research was carried out to find out the cost-effective herbicide for controlling weeds and to fine tune the dose of herbicide with the impact of weed management practices on growth and yield of chickpea. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment contains: T1-Weedy Check, T2 -Weed Free, T3 -Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb 1 HW, T4 -Oxyfluorfen 100g PE fb1 HW, T5 - Imazethapyr 40g PoE, T6 -Quizalofop-ethyl 50g PoE, T7 -Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb Imazethapyr 40g PoE, T8 -Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb Quizalofop-ethyl 50g PoE, T9 -Oxyfluorfen100gPE fb Imazethapyr 40g PoE and T10 -Oxyfluorfen100gPE fb Quizalofop-ethyl 50g PoE. During investigation major weed flora observed in experimental crop were Cyperus rotundus (sedge weed), Digera arvensis, Anagalis arvensis, Chenopodium album, Euphorbia dracunculoides, Chenopodium murale, Eclipta alba, Asphodelus tenuifolius, and Vicia sativa among broad leaf, and Cynodon dactylon among grassy weeds. Among several category of weeds sedge weeds in majority followed by broad leaved and grassy weeds. Among herbicidal treatments Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb Imazethapyr 40g PoE (T7) treatment proved efficient method of weed management with higher weed control efficiency (%). Considering chickpea yield and economics Pendimethalin 1000g applied as pre emergence along with 600 l of water and Quizalofop-ethyl 50g as post emergence (25 DAS) along with 500 l of water found cost effective and profitable option for weed management in chickpea
