Crop Cultivation

weed control in sugarcane crop The sugarcane crop grows for 12 to 18 months. It requires a lot of fertilizer and water for its growth and high yield. Due to which the weeds also grow and develop very fast. In the sugarcane crop, weeds absorb 6-8 times nitrogen, 7-8 times phosphorus and 3-5 times potash as compared to the crop. खरपतवारों से फसल क्षति गन्ने की फसल 12 से 18 महीने तक होती है। इसकी बढ़वार एवं अधिक उपज के लिए अत्यधिक खाद एवं पानी की आवश्यकता होती है। जिसके कारण खरपतवारों की भी वृद्धि एवं विकास बहुत तेजी से होती हैं। गन्ने की फसल में खरपतवार फसल की तुलना में 6-8 गुना...

चावल में फाइलोक्रोन गतिशीलता (ओरिज़ा सातिवा एल.) Phyllochron, defined as the interval time between appearances of successive leaves on a shoot, is an important measurement to know the developmental state of a shoot apex in rice. Shoot development of rice was divided into three stages, regardless of environment and genotype: Maintenance of short phyllochron in the early developmental stage Drastic increase of phyllochron depending on leaf number from the base in the late stage and Decrease of phyllochron before final leaf stage. Origin The modeling of the phyllochron was first published in 1951 when Katayama presented the growth rules, he had worked out for leaf emergence on the main stem and tillers of rice, wheat and...

उत्तर-पश्चिमी हिमालय में सतत बाजरा खेती The pursuit of sustainable agriculture has become increasingly vital in the face of climate change and the growing global population. In the scenic landscapes of the North Western Himalayas, cultivating millets presents a promising solution to promote sustainable farming. Millets, small-seeded grains that have nourished millions of people worldwide for centuries, possess qualities that make them ideal crops for sustainable agriculture. Their resilience, low water and input requirements, high nutritional value, and adaptability to diverse climates position millets as a key component in the journey towards sustainable farming in the region.  Integrating millets into the cropping systems can help farmers mitigate climate-related risks and ensure food security....

पशुधन उत्पादन में गैर-पारंपरिक चारे के रूप में मक्के की खेती Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most widely cultivated cereal crops worldwide, primarily used for human consumption and industrial purposes. However, its suitability as a feedstuff for livestock has gained attention due to its nutritional richness, affordability, and availability.  This paper explores maize cultivation techniques, its nutritional composition, and its diverse applications as a feed resource for various livestock species. Additionally, it discusses the benefits, challenges, and prospects associated with integrating maize into livestock diets to enhance animal nutrition and promote sustainable farming practices. This paper aims to provide insights into maize cultivation, its nutritional attributes, and its utilization as a non-conventional...

Role of next generation breeding tools in climate resilient horticultural crops The recently developed new generation breeding tool Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR Associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) plays an important role in crop improvement due to its simplicity, high efficiency and accuracy compared to other existing molecular breeding tools. The discovery of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has made it possible to eliminate undesirable genes or introduce desired additional gene fragments, in addition to precisely modifying the genome by introducing single nucleotide changes आक्रमणकारी विदेशी डीएनए की प्रतिक्रिया में CRISPR-Cas9 प्रणाली की क्रिया को तीन चरणों में विभाजित किया जा सकता है: (i) अधिग्रहण चरण - आक्रमणकारी डीएनए की पहचान की जाती है और लक्ष्य डीएनए...

ऑयलपाम की खेती Oil palm (Elaeisguineensis Jacq.), is a native of West Africa and popularly known as African oil palm or red oil palm. It is known to be the highest edible oil yielding perennial crop. It produces two distinct oils, i.e., palm oil and palm kernel oil. Palm oil is derived from fleshy mesocarp of the fruit, which contains about 45-55% of oil. The palm kernel oil, obtained from the kernel of stony seed, is a potential source of lauric oil. Oil palm is the crop of the present and future vegetable oil economy of world as well as India. Palm oil has good consumer acceptance as cooking medium because of its price...

Improved cultivation of Taramira Rapeseed, brown mustard, yellow mustard and raya are included in the group of Taramira crops. Taramira can be grown in both fertile and barren lands with limited irrigation and rainfed areas. It is mostly cultivated in rainfed areas in places where other crops cannot be grown successfully. The amount of oil in it is found to be around 35 to 37 percent. Improved cultivation of Taramira तारामीरा फसलों के समूह में तोरिया, भूरी सरसों, पीली सरसों तथा राया आते है। तारामीरा को उपजाऊ एवं बंजर भूमि में सिमित सिंचाई व बारानी दोनों क्षेत्रों में उगाया जा सकता है। इसकी खेती अधिकांशतः बारानी क्षेत्रों में ऐसे स्थानों में की जाती...
