Subject:
corn; crop failure; crops; dry matter accumulation; grain yield; panicles; plant development; probability; rice; runoff; soil water; soil water content; subhumid zones; terraces; topographic slope; water supply; India
Abstract:
... Rain-fed crops in northern India produce less than the potential maximum due to moisture stress at crucial stages of plant development. Research was initiated on a conservation bench terrace (CBT) system to evaluate its potential to increase water supply for increasing and stabilizing rice production on 2.5% sloping land in the subhumid climate. The width ratios of the contributing area to the col ...

Abstract:
... Due to widlespread deficiency of Zn in the northwestern plains of India, germplasm screening for identifying less susceptible cultivars of crop plants has become as essential as recommending proper methods of Zn fertilization. To study the relationship between differential susceptibility to Zn deficiency and nutrient composition of plants, 13 cultivars of corn (Zea mays L.) were grown in the green ...

... The potential of new corn hybrids in India is not obtained because of waterlogging. A field experiment on a Mollisol-udoll soil was conducted 1) to study the response of five corn varieties (cultivars) to waterlogged conditions and 2) to determine the critical growth stages and duration of waterlogging at which yield is significantly reduced. Waterlogging affected growth rate, nutrient uptake, a n ...

Abstract:
... Cropping intensity in the cotton‐wheat areas of Pakistan's Punjab is well below its potential, and also significantly lower than in neighbouring areas of India's Punjab. Analysis of annual cropping intensity indicates that access to irrigation water is the major factor explaining differences in cropping intensity in a cross‐section of farmers. Ownership of a tractor plays a lesser role in increasi ...

Abstract:
... In a field experiment initiated in the 1972/73 rabi season (November–March) on an acidic soil in the western Himalayas of India, continuous cropping for 25 years with nitrogen fertilizer alone reduced the grain yields of maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) to almost zero. Based on five-year moving average values, the application of 100% NP resulted in a reduction of grain yields of maiz ...
