Pine needle mulch increased the tuber yield by 35% over no mulch. The yield increased significantly up to IW:CPE 1.50, except during 1997, which received a good rainfall (236.3 mm). The mean effect of mulch was equivalent to 1 irrigation (5 cm) in terms of potato yield advantage. Mulch and irrigation treatments produced more large size ( 50 mm) tubers compared to no mulch and rainfed treatment respectively. The water use efficiency (WUE) was more (39.9%) with mulch over no mulch. All irrigation treatments had more WUE than rainfed (678 kglha cm), being the maximum with stolonization stage irrigation treatment (830 kglha cm). The canopy temperature was 25 2.5OC In IW:CPE 1.50, which recorded the highest tuber yield.

Received: October 2001 In an experiment effects of organic materials, viz. dung animal urine (OM), chemical fertilizer and biofertilizers, on productivity of napier bajra hybrids and soil fertility were studied in a transifional tract of hot semi arid, agroecological region of Karnataka, India. Total green forage yield of napier bajra hybrids increased significantly with the application of 10 tonnes dung animal urinelhd year and Azospirillum inoculation. Significant variations in number of tillers and leaf :stem ratio (LSR) was observed among the different hybrids and it was not significantly influenced by application of organic matter, Azospirillum inoculation and N, levels. However, Azospirillum inoculation showed significant increase in LSR in the first year. Among the hybrids tesfed IGFRI 7 was superior fo Co 2 and PBN 16 in relation to green forage yield. At the end of 2 year cycle of napier bajra hybrids (after 11 cuts) there was an improvement in the soil available N content due to application of 10 tonnes OM 150 kg N and Azospirillum inoculation.
Agronomic and economic evaluation of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) cereal fodder intercropping during the post rainy season
Authors: P.K. GHOSH
Published: December 2023

A field trial was conducted on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) intercropping during post rainy seasons of 1996 and 1997 with 3 cereal fodders, maize (Zea mays L.), pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] to provide green fodder during the dry season, and to assess the profitability of intercropping system over prevailing practice of sole cropping of groundnut in post rainy season. The green fodder yield was the highest in pearlmillet with 2 cuts. The highest pod yield (24 qlha) was recorded in sole groundnut. Significant reduction in yields, yield attributes, leaf area, nodule mass of groundnut were recorded when 2 cuts of pearlmillet and sorghum were planned. However, such yield reduction was nullified by high fodder yield and high net returns obtained from 2 cuts of pearlmillet. Thus, 2 cuts of pearlmillet, one at 60 days and the other at 106 days in association with summer groundnut not only provided additional income to the farmer but also mitigated the fodder scarcity to some extent in dry season.

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of 2 cultivars ( TMV 3 and TMV 4 ) of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to different spacings and ferti lizer levels in sandy loam soil during the rainy and summer seasons 3f 1996 and 1997. The variety TMV 4 registered the tallest plant in both the seasons and it produced the maximum dry matter. Closer spacing (30 cm x 30 cm) and highest level of nutrients recorded maximum dry matter during summer season. Variety TMV 4 recorded the mean seed yield of 723 kglha and 1,273 during tiie rainy season and summer season respectively. Fertilizers of 150% of recommended level resulted in significantly higher (1,522 kglha) seed yield during summer than lower level but it was on a par with recommended level of fertilizer during the rainy season.

The prospect of four trap crops viz., marigold, okra, sunflower and brinjal were evaluated for their efficiency against thrips, T. tabaci at SASRD, Medziphema, Nagaland University. The study was conducted in Split Plot Design with four treatments having three replications. Tomato was grown on two different planting geometries i.e. 90 x 70 cm (P1) and 60 x 60 cm (P2) and the treatments used as trap crops were indicated as marigold (T1), okra (T2), brinjal (T3) and sunflower (T4), while confining a ratio of main crop to trap crop at 4: 1.The trap crops were transplanted first following the pattern of sequential trap- cropping. Thrips infestations were recorded from the early vegetative stage of tomato and decline in population as the crop matured. All trap crops in the present study showed good performance in the management of T. tabaci. The planting geometry, P2 with okra as a trap crop was observed to be reasonably effective in curbing thrips population in the study period.
