In last couple of years, it was observed that dual purpose barley can be utilized as an alternative source of green forage in the arid and semi arid regions as parts of states like Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, M.P. and U.P due to increasing scarcity of green forage availability (Fig. 1). The marginal farmers would prefer to grow barley varieties giving high forage yield for their live stock and food-grain for human consumption, as it is an outstanding source of proteins, vitamins and minerals. Also in case of hills, most of the farmers are growing barley in apple orchards mainly for utilization as green forage. During the late seventies a few varieties like Azad, K141 and Ratna were recommended for single cut for green forage. The Barley Network took a new initiative during last few years to look at the possibility of utilizing barley as a dual purpose crop to meet the requirements in association with AICRP-FC, Jhansi. It was found that barley crop can be given one cut (at 50-55 days after sowing in plains and 70-75 days after sowing in hills) for green forage and the regenerated crop can be utilized for grain purposes. A new series of yield trials was initiated from 2003-04 crop season for dual-purpose barleys in plains...

धान की पौध तैयार करनें के 4 उन्‍नत तरीके Rice which is to be transplanted into lowland puddled soil must first be nursed on seedbeds. The main reason for nursing rice is simple: to give the seedlings a substantial head start on weeds. Four types of nurseries are commonly used: The wet bed nursery, The dry bed nursery, The “dapog”. And the SRI system . Each type has advantages and disadvantages, and you will probably end up using different nursing methods depending on the situation. Always keep in mind that it is really very easy to raise healthy seedlings if you are prepared to take enough time to do the job properly. Success in raising healthy rice seedlings depends mainly on constant supervision of the seedbeds and proper management. 1.  The Wet Bed Nursery The nursing of rice seedlings by the wet bed method is carried out on raised beds within the field. Select a fertile, level plot with good water control. Soil preparation, should always be very thorough. At least one ploughing and a careful puddling are necessary to loosen the soil as well as to facilitate the decomposition of organic matter. The addition of organic material to plots designated as nursery areas can help ensure seedling vitality, provided it is added early enough to decompose...

Barley is also used for malt production, which is principally used in brewing industry and proving itself as a good source of better rural livelihood. In Malt Barley, production factors like cultivar  choice,  planting  date,  planting  density, fertilization, irrigation, weed management and quality seed are the most important and reflected in the yield and the malting quality of the crop. Cultivation of malt barley crop has specific crop production requirements which are as follows: Adaptation Barley is a rabi (winter season) cereal crop having short growing season. The ideal condition for growing barley is moderately dry period for sowing, occasional showers during the growing season and good weather for harvesting. The growing period in the plains lasts for about 5 months. It is grown mainly in the northern plains for malting purpose. It is a hardy crop and is quite suitable for rainfed drought prone areas and sodic condition.  In areas of good irrigation and medium fertility soils, malt barley of good quality can...
