An experiment conducted at Agricultural Research Station-Ummedganj, Kota (Rajasthan) during 2020-21 and 2021-22 on sugarcane. The experiment consisted twelve treatment combinations of two irrigation schedules viz. (IW/CPE ratio 1.0 and 0.3) and six sugarcane varieties (CoPk 5191, CoLk 14201 & CoLk 11203 early maturing and Co 05011, Co 09022 and CoLk11206 mid late maturing) were under taken in strip plot design with four replications. Results showed that the maximum brix content (20.42 and 23.15 %), sucrose content (17.77 and 20.50 %) and CCS yield (10.83 and 12.54 t/ha) at 10- and 12-months crop were recorded in the pooled analysis under application of irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 1.0 over application of irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 0.3. Pooled data of two years showed that the significantly higher cane yield (86.16 t/ha), net return (Rs. 145524.00/ha) and B: C ratio (2.26) was recorded with application of irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 1.0 as compared to application of irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 0.3 in sugarcane. Two years pooled data showed that the early maturing variety of CoPk 05191 was found better in respect to brix content (20.33 and 22.58 %), sucrose content (17.62 and 20.62 %) and CCS yield (10.75 and 12.40 t/ha) at 10- and 12-month crop and mid late maturing variety of Co 05011 brix content (20.52 and 22.48 %), sucrose content (17.55 and 20.37 %) and CCS yield (10.65 and 12.30 t/ha) at 10- and 12-month crop as compared to remaining sugarcane varieties. The maximum cane yield (87.61 and 86.75 t/ha), net returns (Rs. 153790.00 and Rs. 153940.00 /ha) and B:C ratio (2.33 and 2.29) was recorded with sowing of of early maturing variety CoPk 05191 mid late maturing variety of Co 05011 over rest of the sugarcane varieties.

Natural farming, also known as Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), has gained significant attention and debate among agricultural scientists, government officials, farmers, and various other groups involved in agriculture in India. There are two contrasting perspectives on this topic, with some scientists dismissing the philosophy of Natural Farming while proponents claim it to be a solution for the challenges faced by Indian agriculture, particularly for smallholder farmers. This study aims to address critical questions and gaps related to Natural Farming by investigating farmers’ perceptions, the components of natural farming practices they follow, input use patterns, benefit-cost ratios, constraints in adoption, and suggestions for improvement. The study conducted with 150 farmers from Anakapalle and Visakhapatnam districts aimed to investigate the perceptions, components, input use patterns, constraints, and suggestions related to Natural Farming. The findings revealed that most of the farmers were middle-aged (65.34%) with secondary education (50.67%) and significant farming experience (20.00% above 30 years). The farmers perceived Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) as agriculture without external inputs and labour (94.67%), acknowledging its role in conserving beneficial insects (93.34%) and soil fertility (92.00%). Jeevamrutham (92.00%) and crop rotation (90.67%) were the most widely adopted components of ZBNF. When comparing costs and returns, ZBNF paddy and sugarcane farmers incurred 18.55% and 19.56% less expenditure, respectively, compared to non-ZBNF farmers. However, net profits were lower for ZBNF farmers. The constraints in adopting ZBNF practices included chemically contaminated neighbouring fields (58.92%), the absence of specific prices for organic products (36.14%), difficulty in convincing family members (56.40%), and the lengthy transition period (45.23%). These insights shed light on the status and challenges faced by farmers in implementing Natural Farming practices. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into farmers’ perceptions, adoption of natural farming practices, costs and returns, and constraints faced in the adoption of ZBNF. These findings can inform policymakers, researchers, and farmers themselves in further developing and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in India.

Tamil Nadu is very susceptible to soil erosion due to its deforestation, urbanization, complicated terrain and heavy rainfall. The objective of this study was to estimate soil erosion in the Cauvery-delta zone (CDZ) of Tamil Nadu, India, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model in Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The GEE environment provides a faster and better method for spatial output maps. Several parameters including runoff-rainfall erosivity factor (R), soil erodability factor (K), topographic factor (LS), cropping management factor (C), and support practice factor (P) takes into consideration for RUSLE model. The result revealed that the annual average soil loss within the Cauvery delta zone is approximately 49.08 t/hac/year (metric tonne per hectare per year). The study area has a 45 % very high erosion risk, 42.6 % severe erosion risk, and 8.4 % high risk. Other erosion risk classes, such as slight and moderate erosion, accounted for 3 % and 1 % of the total area, respectively. The results of the study indicate that GEE allow targeted solution to reduce future soil erosion.

In the northern regions of India, throughout the warm season and the rainy season, one of the most significant cucurbitaceous vegetable crops that is cultivated is the bitter gourd, which is scientifically known as (Momordica charantia L). It is cultivated all over the world, both in tropical and subtropical regions, and possesses a large genetic variety. However, “the crop is affected by a number of diseases, including anthracnose, powdery mildew, downy mildew, Cercospora leaf spot, Alternaria leaf blight, and anthracnose leaf spot. Of these diseases, the leaf spot caused by Alternaria spp. is found to cause serious losses throughout Uttar pradesh and other states”. Other diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, and powdery mildew. The survey was carried out during the vegetative stage and the fruiting stage of the crop during both the kharif and the rabi seasons by visually inspecting the plants in each field in a “W” pattern. These crop growth stages occur throughout a single cropping season (crossing the rows). According to the findings of the study, the occurrence “of whiteflies and viral illnesses in bitter gourd was seen in all of the investigated areas with varying levels of damage and vulnerability. This was the case in all of the locations”.

Mine closure plan is a vital document to meet the legal requirements for a mining company. MOEF&CC guidelines direct the coal mine owners to ensure that the mining area is restored to create a ‘self-sustaining system’ post mine closure. Mine Closure Plan consists of Progressive or Concurrent Mine Closure Plan, and Final Mine Closure Plan. The Mine closure activities should aim to restore land back to its original as far as practicable or further improved condition. The land should be returned with an added value that provides long-term support for communities and their livelihood. It should be sustainable where all the concerns of the environment, social and economics are addressed.

Sulphur is an essential nutrient for the production of oilseeds. It is the 13th most abundant element in the earth’s crust with an average concentration of 0.06 %. It is necessary for the synthesis of proteins, oils, and vitamins. Agricultural soils have a low concentration of inorganic sulphur compared to the organic form. A sulphur deficiency also leads to a 40 % preduction in the quality and quantity of rapeseed or oilseeds. Sulphur deficiency is becoming very common in many states of India. In previous years, various studies on sulphur have been carried out, viz. factors that affect the availability of sulphur to plants, its function in the plant, the response of Sulphur in various crops, etc. The objective of this review is to provide an update on recent discoveries related to these topics, which may contribute to a better understanding of sulphur fertilization and the role of sulphur in oilseeds.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is one of the most destructive pathogen, causing wilt disease in chickpea.The survey studies indicated that, overall wilt incidence was comparatively higher in Rabi (2020-2021) grown chickpea crop, compared to that of Rabi (2021-2022) grown crop. In all the eight districts of Purvanchal region surveyed, the disease was found to be widely distributed and regular occurrence with moderate to severe incidence and it’s average incidence was found maximum in the district of Azamgarh (15.09%) followed by Gorakhpur (14.94%) Basti (14.83%) ,Ghazipur (14.75%),Varanasi (14.60%), Deoria (14.50%) , Mau (14.31%) and Jaunpur (14.20%) districts in the years 2020-2021and 2021-2022. The average incidence of wilt disease was found more in 2020-2021 (15.21%) as compared to 2021-2022 (14.08%). Of the various cultivars/varieties of chickpea grown in the Purvanchal region, local cultivars (21.02% and 20.50%) without any proven resistance were found to suffer severely with the disease, during both the years. The most popularly grown Avrodhi was found to suffer more with about 17.90 and 16.08 per cent (wilt) disease incidence during Rabi (2020-2021) and Rabi (2021-2022), respectively. However, the cultivars viz., Pragati (K 3256), Radhey, Sadabahar and Pant G186 were found to suffer comparatively minimum with the wilt disease.

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a robust annual grass, usually 1.2–3.5 m tall. It is a staple cereal in India, and in some countries of west and southern Africa. Pearl millet (known as Bajra in Hindi, also known as sajjey in Kannada and 'Kambu' in Tamil). The largest producer are Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Hariyana. It has the capacity to produce a grain yield of 4-5 tonns per hectare. Being non-glutinous makes it a healthy option for people with a gluten allergy and celiac disease. They are power-packed with carbohydrates, essential amino acids, antioxidants, multiple vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, niacin, beta carotene, and minerals like iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc and phytochemicals such as polyphenols and flavonoids. In this review, along with in the nutritional composition are discussed with the emphasis on the effect of processing on the nutrient and also discussed about health benefits.

Nine bivoltine silkworm double hybrids along with control were developed and evaluated at Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute, Central Silk Board, Pampore, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) during summer (July-August) and autumn (August-September) 2020. The main aim is to develop silkworm double hybrids locally by utilising the silkworm breeds developed by different research Institutes. The bivoltine silkworm breeds developed by CSB research institutes were procured initially for preparation and evaluation of foundation crosses. Based on the performance, out of twenty four foundation crosses three oval and three constricted foundation crosses were shortlisted for further development of 09 double hybrids. On the basis of the evaluation index (E.I) values 05 double hybrids during summer and 05 double hybrids during autumn recorded E.I value above 50. During summer 05 silkworm double hybrids viz., (CSR50×PAM114) X (PAM117×APS4), (CSR50×PAM114) X (PAM117× SK7), (PAM114× CSR27) X (PAM117×APS4), (PAM114×CSR50) X (PAM117 ×APS4) and (PAM114×CSR50) X (SK6×SK7) recorded E.I values 50.09, 55.86, 57.95, 61.35 and 52.88, respectively over control FC2× FC1 (60.67) whereas in autumn 05 silkworm double hybrids viz., (CSR50×PAM114) X (SK6×SK7), (CSR50×PAM114) X (PAM117× SK7), (PAM114× CSR27) X (PAM117×APS4), (PAM114×CSR50) X (PAM117 ×APS4) and (PAM114×CSR50) X (SK6×SK7) recorded E.I values 56.20, 53.13, 54.62, 55.52 and 59.80, respectively over control FC2× FC1 (57.65). Based on results one double hybrid (PAM114×CSR50) X (PAM117 ×APS4) for summer and one double hybrid (PAM114× CSR50) X (SK6×SK7) for autumn identified for North West India.

Development of salinity tolerant genotypes is important for sustaining wheat productivity in suppressive soils. The generation mean analysis of three bread wheat crosses viz., Lok 1 x Raj 3880, Job 666 x Kharchia 65 and Raj 1972 x Kharchia 65 under normal and saline-sodic environment revealed presence of both additive and non-additive gene effects in the inheritance of grain yield per plant and other contributing characters under both the environments. Among the digenic interactions, all three types of epistatic effects were involved in the inheritance of characters studied. Only duplicate gene interaction was present, wherever available. Hence, intermating in early generations and intense selection in later generations could be successfully adopted for breeding wheat varieties having appreciable salinity tolerance level.
开发耐盐碱基因型对于维持小麦在盐碱土壤中的生产力非常重要。对三个面包小麦杂交种（即 Lok 1 x Raj 3880、Job 666 x Kharchia 65 和 Raj 1972 x Kharchia 65）在正常和盐碱环境下的世代平均数分析表明，在这两种环境下，单株谷物产量和其他特征的遗传中都存在加性和非加性基因效应。在二基因互作中，所有三种类型的外显效应都参与了所研究特征的遗传。只有重复基因的交互作用存在。因此，早期世代的互作和后期世代的强化选择可以成功地培育出具有明显耐盐性的小麦品种。
