This study was carried out in the winter of 2020–21 at College Research Farm Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda UP, India. 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 @ 150 ppm, Hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 followed by two foliar application of Salicylic acid @ 150 ppm and sub-plot: five varieties viz., JG-14, JG-16, JG-18, JG-36 and RVG-202. 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 cm2 apart and fertilized at 25:60:30 kg of N:P:K ha-1 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-1) and foliar (salicylic acid @ 150 ppm ha-1 twice at flower initiation and pod formation) proved remarkable in terms of growth that maximized yield. 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.

The field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, (V. C. Farm), Mandya, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India during kharif, 2019 and 2020. Soil from experimental site was under sandy loam in texture with 70.50, 15.80 and 13.70% sand, silt and clay, respectively. Soil was alkaline in reaction with pH of 9.02 and low in electrical conductivity (0.37 dS m-1). The fertility status of the soil at experimental site was low in organic carbon (0.39%), available nitrogen (182.12 kg N ha-1) and available potassium (122.32 kg K2O ha-1), however it was high in available phosphorus (78.74kg P2O5ha-1). Results indicated that maximum leaf area, SPAD meter reading and tiller production at different days observed in narrow spacing (20 cm row spacing) compared to wider row spacing (30 cm row spacing). Among the different varieties tested, significantly higher leaf area, SPAD meter reading and tiller production was recorded in KMP- 175 and Rasi compared to other varieties.

A study was undertaken at V. C. Farm, Mandya, Karnataka, India during 2020 to screen the genotypes against BLB under natural field conditions. Host Plant resistance is an important component of an integrated management program for this disease. Among the 102 rice genotypes screened under natural epiphytotic condition at Zonal Agricultural Station, V. C. Farm, Mandya, none of them were found immune against bacterial leaf blight. So, in the study, plants were assessed by measuring disease severity (% of leaf diseased) and area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). The pathogenicity of Xoo was tested on IRRI rice cultivars, inoculation was conducted at the maximum tillering stage, and the lesion length was measured after 14 days of inoculation. An attempt was made to phenotypically characterize a set of 102 Genotypes from IRRI for BLB resistance by artificially inoculaton using clipping method. Out of the 102 genotypes and two checks tested, it was observed that five entries viz., IRGC 125853, IRGC 126264, IRGC 132357, IRGC 122088 IRGC 125658 and Improved Samba Mahsuri were highly resistant with score of 1. Only one entry (IRGC 125754) was resistant with score of 3, 33 lines being moderately resistant with score of 5 and 43 lines were susceptible with score of 7. 20 lines and also the susceptible check Jyothi-PTB 39, had the highest susceptibility with a phenotypic score of 9.

A study was undertaken during the year 2020–2021 in Kyrdem and Sohriewblei villages, Ri-Bhoi district, Meghalaya, India to find out the level of awareness and adoption of climate resilient horticultural technologies. The selected villages had been adopted under National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) project since 2011-2020. A sample size of 100 farmers (50 from each village) who were actively involved in horticultural activities was selected randomly. A well-structured, pre-tested interview schedule was employed for the data collection. The study revealed that the awareness level was recorded highest in institutional measures (94.2%) followed by horticultural practices (92.4%) and soil and water conservation (89%) measures. The highest adoption level of resilient practices was observed in horticultural practices (83.9%). Out of all respondents 89% were classified as medium category farmers for adoption of climate resilient technologies in both the villages. There was no statistical difference in the adoption level of resilient practices among the farmers of both the villages. Spearman rank correlation (0.730) depicted correlation between awareness and adoption level of horticultural technologies among the selected farmers in both the villages. It could be concluded that in an area like Meghalaya where small size of land holding and fragmented land emerged as main constraint for adoption of modern horticultural technology. Rigorous awareness programme to orient farming community towards scientific proven methods will be able to minimize the adverse effects of climate change.

The study was carried out in area of Kandaghat and Solan blocks of Himachal Pradesh, India from November 2021 to April 2022 to study the constraints in high-density apple cultivation by the farmers of the mid-hills area of Himachal Pradesh, India. The present study fully relied on the primary data through a properly structured schedule for the production year 2021–2022, with a sample size of 60 farmers involved in high-density apple plantations. Garret’s ranking technique was used to find constraints perceived by the high-density apple cultivators. The objective of the research was to identify the prevailing problems of the high-density apple sector in the selected area. In this study the major problems faced by the high-density apple growers in production were the high cost of high-density apple plants, followed by identifying the disease, costly labor, and lack of technical guidance. Major marketing-related constraints expressed in the marketing of high-density apples were the problem of fluctuation of price, the high price of transportation, distant market, and high commission charges, further the data revealed that the major environmental and other related constraints were that the grading process and certification process seemed to be costly, problems from hailstorms were also found. The study also highlighted the need of proper marketing facilities as marketing helps in improving the living standard and eliminate the constraints in product and services.

The present study was conducted during September-October, 2022 at Greenhouse facility of Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture Sciences, Mandsaur University, Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, India to identify drought tolerant genotypes. Total sixty genotypes were sown on dated 02/09/2022 by using polythene bags in completely randomized block design with four different water regimes and two replications in each set during month of September, 2022. Data were recorded for root-shoot parameters and relative leaf water content. Mean performance of root length showed that among 60 genotypes, thirty genotypes showed increased tap roots under severe water deficit conditions (0%). Under sever water stress condition (0%) highest root length was recorded of genotypes NRC138 (20.5 cm) followed by GW251 (18.15 cm) and RSC1107 (17.2 cm) respectively while lowest root length was noted in accession GW312 (3.4 cm) followed by NRC37 (5 cm) and NRC 142 (5.15 cm) respectively. Under0% water stress highest relative leaf water content was observed in genotype JS2034 (97.16%) followed by GW10 (93.47%) and GW159 (89.18%) whereas lowest was found in GW28 (20.96%) followed by GW100 (26.31%) and AGS25 (26.66%). On basis of mean data of root length, relative leaf water content, root shoot ratio by length and visual observation of plants, 11 genotypes were identified as drought tolerant and 19 genotypes were identified as medium tolerant. The identified drought tolerant genotypes may be used as water stress tolerant genotypes in future for improvement of crop in relation to drought tolerance.

A research was conducted in West-Garo Hills district of Meghalaya State, India during October 2020 to January 2021 so as to identify the major constraints involved in ginger cultivation as perceived by the respondents. Following the multi stage sampling method, two RD blocks i.e., Rongram and Daluwere purposively selected for the study with a total of 120 respondents from six villages. Descriptive research design was followed in this study. The study concluded that most of the ginger cultivators belonged to middle age category. The land holding under ginger cultivation was medium because of the hilly terrain. It was found that ginger cultivation had been a family tradition for generations thus promote large scale cultivation of ginger commercially. Ginger growers of the study area had average income. The farmers were getting very less return from ginger cultivation, therefore, to mitigate it, the Department of Agriculture, Government of Meghalaya initiated the transportation system called the 1917 i-TEAMS Ginger mission (Integrated Technology Enabled Agri- Management System) to facilitate remunerative price by eliminating the middleman. It was also found that farmers had interest towards new innovations and technologies and were willing to take high risk to get more income from ginger cultivation, therefore, concerned departments should build upon this interest in bringing about adoption of new practices. The major constraint was the lack of knowledge on pest and disease management, hence, the study recommended for training on plant protection measures.

The study was conducted in Chandel district state of Manipur, India,under Machi CD blocks in the year 2021. Sugarcane is grown in Manipur for commercial purposes and though farmers of Chandel district is on the forefront, scope for increased production and productivity is still high yet, no major studies have been conducted in the selected district to understand the dynamics of production scenario of sugarcane till the present time of investigation. Therefore, in order to assess the knowledge level of improved cultivation practices of sugarcane, this study was conducted. Sample consists of 104 farmers selected based on Proportionate Random Sampling procedure. The study concluded that 100% (104 nos. of respondents) had knowledge related to propagation, intercultural operation, ratooning and harvesting. More than 90% of the respondents had knowledge regarding soil and varieties. More than half of the respondents had knowledge regarding land preparation, climate, weeding, seed rate and processing and an average knowledge regarding irrigation, insect and pest management and spacing. The findings revealed that the overall Knowledge Index wasfound to be medium with scores of 63.46%. The study recommends study tours to nearby model farms in the research station or framers’ fields and training programs, off farm and on farm to create awareness about the latest technology to provide first-hand information to the farmers and the extension agent or the related agricultural departments can take up front line demonstration, seminar and workshop which will help farmers to increase their farm output.

Under rainfed conditions yield potential of French bean reduced in the acid soil of Arunachal Pradesh due to low fertility and metal toxicity. Therefore, the current experiment was conducted in ICAR, Basar, Research Farm during rabi season (October–January) of 2018, 2019 and 2020 to study the effect of soil amelioration using organic amendments combined with inorganic fertilizer on the yield of French bean and important soil properties. The soil amendment treatments i.e., control, vermicompost (Vc), vermicompost+lime (Vc+lime), 50% RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizer), 50% RDF+lime, 50% RDF+Vc, 75% RDF, 75% RDF+lime, 75% RDF+Vc, 100% RDF were laid in randomized block design with three replications. The doses of vermicompost, lime and RDF were 2.5 t ha-1, 400 kg ha-1 and 50-50-50 NPK kg ha-1. Results showed soil pH recorded maximum and exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable acidity and total acidity recorded minimum in 75%RDF+lime. The soil organic carbon, soil cation exchangeable capacity, soil moisture content and soil available nutrients (N, P, K, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) recorded maximum and soil bulk density recorded minimum in 75%RDF+Vc. Vermicompost along with 75%RDF was most effective in increasing the yield (4.85 t ha-1). The study indicates soil acidity amelioration using vermicompost and/or lime along with inorganic nutrients reduced soil acidity and improved the soil fertility making the soil environment favorable to achieve an optimum yield of French bean in acid soils of Arunachal Pradesh.
在雨养条件下，由于肥力低和金属毒性，法国豆在**酸性土壤中的产量潜力降低。因此，本试验于2018年、2019年和2020年rabi季节(10 - 1月)在ICAR、Basar、研究农场进行，研究有机改良剂与无机肥料联合施用对法国豆产量和重要土壤性质的影响。采用随机区组设计，设置对照、蚯蚓堆肥(Vc)、蚯蚓堆肥+石灰(Vc+石灰)、50% RDF(推荐用量)、50% RDF+石灰、50% RDF+Vc、75% RDF、75% RDF+石灰、75% RDF+Vc、100% RDF处理，每组3个重复。蚯蚓堆肥、石灰和RDF用量分别为2.5 t hm -1、400 kg hm -1和50-50-50 NPK kg hm -1。结果表明:75%RDF+石灰土壤pH值最大，交换性铝、交换性酸度和总酸度最小;75%RDF+Vc条件下，土壤有机碳、阳离子交换容量、土壤含水量和速效养分(N、P、K、S、Fe、Mn、Zn、Cu)最大，容重最小。蚯蚓堆肥加75%RDF增产效果最好(4.85 t hm -1)。研究表明，采用蚯蚓堆肥和/或石灰配合无机养分改良土壤酸度，可降低土壤酸度，提高土壤肥力，使土壤环境有利于在**酸性土壤中实现法国豆的最佳产量。

Betel vine (Piper betel L.) is referred to as “Paan” in India. It is the most significant and profitable commercial crop and is cultivated as a significant cash crop due to its high benefit cost ratio (2.3). Fresh betel leaves found rich source of phyto-nutrients and vitamins viz., proteins, minerals, fibre, carbohydrates, vitamin A and vitamin B1. Uttar Pradesh region is favourable for better cultivation of betel vine. There are a few areas in Uttar Pradesh that are well-known for growing betel leaves, such as Bundelkhand, Varanasi, and Unnao. Betel vine farming is labour and capital intensive and best suited to small-scale farmers with a stable source of work and income. The main challenges associated with betel vine cultivation are lack of quality planting material, disease and pest infestation, lack of market, and natural calamities. Leaf rot, wilt, and leaf spot are the major diseases that significantly affect the quality and productivity of betel leaves. But due to its perishable nature and price fluctuations, this is one of the biggest marketing challenges faced by betel vine farmers. Establishing a market intelligence system to forecast prices in advance and simultaneously exploring the export market may be beneficial for realising a higher return on betel vine cultivation. Young farmers are excited to cultivate the betel vine and promote it as a cash crop for gainful employment in Uttar Pradesh. The Government of Uttar Pradesh has launched a scheme to promote the quality production of betel vine leaves.
