Production Potential, Economics, Energetics and GHG Emission Potentials of Paddy based Cropping System in a Micro-watershed under Damodar Catchment, West Bengal under Hot, Moist, Sub-Humid Agro-Ecological ZoneBy Ranjan Bera, A. Seal, T.H. Das, D. Sarkar, A.K. Chatterjee
Abstract: AbstractThe Damodar catchment area in West Bengal is primarily dominated by rice-rice mono-cropping system. The present study was conducted in three villages through Naopara, Kantia and Syamsundarpur in the Barddhaman district of West Bengal; to explore the potentials of integrating other field crops in the existing rice based cropping system towards improving the monetary productivity and farmers’ livelihood. Field experiments were conducted taking different cropping systems through rice–rice, rice–potato–black gram, …

Evaluation of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology as a Cost Effective Organic Cultivation Method in Farmer’s FieldBy Ranjan Bera, A.K. Barik, A.K. Chatterjee, A. Seal, A. Datta, S. Saha
Abstract: AbstractInhana rational farming (IRF) technology was studied as an organic package of practice in farmers’ field using green gram (Samrat: PDM-84-139) as test crop. The study was conducted at Binuria village in Birbhum district of West Bengal during the crop season of 2013–14. The study area lies in 23.66°N and 87.63°E at about 179 ft above MSL, with level to nearly level landscape. The experiment was laid down as per …

Production Potential and Economics of Different Crops under Varying Physiographic Conditions in Damodar Command Area (Part), West Bengal, IndiaBy R. Bera, A. Seal, T.H. Das, D. Sarkar, A.K. Chatterjee
Abstract: Rice-rice cropping system is the predominant cropping pattern in the majority of Damodar command area, West Bengal. However optimized utilization of resources towards enhanced overall crop productivity as well as economic return and at the same time maintenance soil quality, crop diversity is important. Present study evaluates the on-field crop suitability and economic viability of vegetables (potato, chilli), oilseed (mustard, sesame) and pulses (black gram) towards formulation of alternate rice …
