This study was conducted to determine the effect of changing the depths of water and planting methods on soil properties and rice yields under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) in the Systems of Rice Intensification (SRI). The treatments consisted of four irrigation levels and four planting methods. The irrigation treatments included 4 water drop levels (WDL) in observation well: 6 cm, 10 cm, 14 cm water drop levels below the soil surface and continuous flooding with 5 cm layer of water above soil. Four planting methods included seed drilling, broadcasting, transplanting 12 day old seedling and transplanting 21 day-old seedlings. Lowland rice (FARO 44) was established in randomized complete block design. Alternate wetting and drying at 6 and 14 cm WDL showed 14.27 % and 11.59 % increase in total porosity respectively, when compared with initial soil total porosity. All plots showed a decrease in bulk density compared with initial soil bulk density. Paddy yield for irrigation treatments ranged between 6.03-9.92 t ha-1, with AWD at 10 cm WDL having highest yield of 9.92 t ha-1, the lowest was observed in the continuously flooded plots (6.03t ha-1). System of rice intensification method of transplanting was observed to yield 10.08 t ha-1 of paddy and showed percentage increases in paddy yields by 26.3%, 69.9% and 33.5% over conventional transplanting (21 day seedling), broadcasting and drilling, respectively. This study showed the superiority of using younger seedlings in transplanting and 10cm water drop level in the observation well for increased food security and income.

System of crop intensification is one of the important concept to improve the productivity and to sustain the income of the farmers in long run. The doubling of farmers’ income is the talk of the day to help them in their livelihood in spite of various constraints face in the field. Climate change is another challenge in the years to come for the farming sectors. Field experiments were conducted from 2016 to 2019 to evaluate the establishment technique in ragi (SRgI) wherein the experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design, replicated thrice. The treatment consists of three establishment techniques viz., Spacing: S1 (22.5 X 22.5 cm), S2 (25 X 25 cm) and S3 (30 X 30 cm), Number of seedling: N1 (one seedling per hill) and N2 (two seedlings per hill) and Age of seedling: A1 (12 days old seedling), A2 (15 days old seedling) and A3 (18 days old seedling) and control (22.5 X 10 cm, two seedlings per hill and 18 days old seedlings). The results revealed that single seedling with 12 days’ age under wider spacing (30 X 30cm) was the suitable establishment technique to meet the challenges of increased production in millets. It was found that SRgI technique could result in single stroke harvest of ragi, avoiding multiple harvests. The results from the previous research of SRgI was considered, as a tool for mitigating climate change strategies viz., high temperature and low rainfall. The experiments were taken up (2019-21) under Factorial Randomized Block Design, replicated thrice. The treatments consist of two factors viz., Date of sowing: S1 (Sowing on June 1st week), S2 (Sowing on June 2nd week), S3 (Sowing on June 3rd week) and S4 (Sowing on June 4th week); and Variety: V1(TRY1), V2 (CO14), and V3 (CO 15). SRgI method of planting was adopted i.e., single seedling with wider spacing. From the reference of the pertaining data, it can be deduced that early sowing of variety TRY 1 and CO 15 on 1st and 2nd week of June respectively could increase the production of ragi, minimize the risk of pest incidence and reduce the cost of production thereby support as a resistant crop to mitigate the climate change concepts projected in near future keeping in view of the System of Crop Intensification and its benefits.
作物集约化制度是提高生产力和长期维持农民收入的重要理念之一。尽管农民在田间面临各种限制,但收入翻倍是帮助他们维持生计的热门话题。气候变化是未来几年农业部门面临的另一个挑战。为评价ragi (SRgI)的建立技术,于2016 - 2019年进行了现场试验,试验采用因子随机区组设计,重复3次。处理包括三种建立技术,即间距:S1 (22.5 X 22.5 cm), S2 (25 X 25 cm)和S3 (30 X 30 cm),苗数:N1(每山一株)和N2(每山两株),苗龄:A1(12天苗),A2(15天苗)和A3(18天苗)和对照(22.5 X 10 cm,每山两株,18天苗)。结果表明,较宽间距(30 × 30cm)下12日龄单苗是应对水稻增产挑战的适宜栽培技术。发现SRgI技术可以实现一次采收,避免多次采收。以往SRgI的研究成果被认为是缓解气候变化策略(高温少雨)的工具。试验采用因子随机区组设计(2019- 2021),重复3次。处理包括播种日期两个因素:S1(6月1日周播种)、S2(6月2日周播种)、S3(6月3日周播种)和S4(6月4日周播种);品种:V1(TRY1), V2 (CO14), V3 (co15)。采用SRgI法种植,即单苗宽间距种植。根据相关数据,可以推断,在6月的第1周和第2周分别播种品种TRY 1和CO 15可以增加ragi的产量,最大限度地降低害虫发生的风险,降低生产成本,从而支持作为抗性作物缓解近期气候变化的概念,同时考虑到作物集约化系统及其效益。

Globally the demand for organic farming is increasing and farmers need to adopt novel technologies to resolve the challenges during the practicing of organic farming. Organic agriculture includes sustainability of agricultural production, supporting the rural economy, maintaining ecological and environmental strength within agricultural systems, and also establishing sustainable human health. Improving crop productivity and income of the farmers is to be based on soil health management, pest and disease control, and adapting novel marketing strategies. The utilization of farmyard manure, vermicompost, and biofertilizers in organic farming develops soil health and plant growth that can be benefited by farmers by increasing crop yield and ecosystem health. The application of biopesticide and biocultural agents for controlling pest and diseases on the crop in organic farming will enhance crop yield and also reduces environmental pollution. Organic farmers need to adapt novel marketing strategies to sell their farm produce and to get higher economic benefits. The food produced from sustainable farming increases the health of the human, soil, and environment.

Micro irrigation is found to be the only alternative to sustain irrigated crops in a scenario of impending shortage of fresh water the country is facing. Farmers in India have successfully adopted MI taking the country to number one position in MI coverage (16.6 million ha) in the world. Continuing with the adoption process, even rice crop is successfully grown with drip irrigation. Data on yield, water consumption and water productivity of basmati rice grown in selected farmers’ field with drip irrigation in Haryana is reported here. Rice yield improved by 10-18%, water consumption reduced by 51% and water productivity enhanced by 63%. The drip system could also be adapted to the rotation crop in the rice-wheat cropping system.

Under the influence of fluctuating global climate scenario and limited resources of water availability, different methods of rice cultivation like System of rice intensification (SRI), Direct seeded rice (DSR), Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and Aerobic rice have become popular as alternatives to conventional transplanting method. Due to these shifting cultivation situations, insect pest profiles have also undergone changes with associated influence on beneficial insects and other natural enemies. Multi-location studies carried out under All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project (AICRIP) have revealed significantly less incidence of major pests like stem borers, planthoppers in SRI compared to normal rice transplanting method. Overall, the SRI method leads to more robust plant health with enhanced capacity to resist pest attacks. In case of DSR, AICRIP studies have consistently revealed higher incidence of all the insect pests in the normal transplanted method compared to DSR. However, few reports have indicated association of insect pest outbreaks with higher seed rate and plant densities. Limited studies have shown that AWD also has the potential to minimize the incidence of insect pests and diseases compared to irrigated rice. However, soil borne pests, particularly root-knot nematode can be more damaging under aerobic conditions. Field cum laboratory studies carried out at ICAR IIRR on impact of cultivation systems on the rich insect biodiversity in rice have revealed association of higher total abundance and greater richness of beneficial insect species with SRI management.

The spatial cropland products are of great importance in water and food security assessments, especially in India, which is home to nearly 1.4 billion people and 160 million hectares of net cropland area. In India, croplands account for about 90% of all human water use. Cropland extent, cropping intensity, crop watering methods and crop types are important factors that have a bearing on the quantity, quality and location of production. Currently, cropland products are produced using mainly coarse-resolution (250-1000 m) remote sensing data., our study was aimed at producing three distinct spatial products at 30m and 250m resolution that would be useful and needed to address food and water security challenges. The first of these, Product 1, was to assess irrigated versus rainfed croplands in India using Landsat 30 m data in GEE platform. The second, Product 2, was to map major crop types using MODIS 250 m data. The third, Product 3, to map cropping intensity (single, double and triple cropping) using MODIS 250 m data. For the kharif season (the main cropping season in India, Jun-Oct), 9 major crops (5 irrigated crops: rice, soybean, maize, sugarcane, cotton and 5 rainfed crops: pulses, rice, sorghum, millet, groundnut) were mapped. For the rabi season (post rainy season, Nov-Feb), 5 major crops (3 irrigated crops: rice, wheat, maize and 2 rainfed crops: chickpea, pulses) were mapped. The irrigated versus rainfed 30 m product showed an overall accuracy of 79.8% with the irrigated cropland class providing a producer’s accuracy of 79% and the rainfed cropland class 74%. The overall accuracy demonstrated by the cropping intensity product was 85.3% with producer’s accuracies of 88%, 85% and 67% for single, double, and triple cropping respectively. Crop types were mapped to accuracy levels ranging from 72% to 97%. A comparison of the crop type area statistics with national statistics explained 63-98% variability. The study highlights production of multiple cropland products to support food security studies using multiple satellite sensor big-data, and RF machine learning algorithm that were coded, processed and computed.

In India, croplands account for about 90% of all human water use. Cropland extent, cropping intensity, crop watering methods and crop types are important factors that have a bearing on the quantity, quality and location of production. Currently, cropland products are produced using mainly coarse-resolution (250-1000 m) remote sensing data., our study was aimed at producing three distinct spatial products at 30m and 250m resolution that would be useful and needed to address food and water security challenges. The first of these, Product 1, was to assess irrigated versus rainfed croplands in India using Landsat 30 m data in GEE platform. The second, Product 2, was to map major crop types using MODIS 250 m data. The third, Product 3, to map cropping intensity (single, double and triple cropping) using MODIS 250 m data.
