Effect of Sulphur and Zinc Levels on Growth, Yield and Quality of Mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.]
Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad (Uttar Pradesh), during the rabi season of 2008-09 in RBD and replicated three times. The sowing was done on November 20, 2008. The treatments comprised four levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S ha−1) and four levels of zinc (0, 5, 7.5 and 10 kg Zn ha−1). The mustard variety …

Impact of Crop Heat Units on Growth and Developmental Physiology of Future Crop Production: A Review
Abstract: Plant development depends on temperature and requires a specific amount of heat to develop from one point in their lifecycle to another, such as from seeding to the harvest stage. Temperature is a key factor for the timing of biological processes, and hence the growth and development of plants. Crop heat unit (CHU) or thermal time or growing degree days is a temperature response of development that differs between day …

Studies on Dynamics of Post-Kharif Rice Fallows Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Techniques in India
Abstract: India has largely become self-sufficient in food grain production at macro level. However, the mismatch between the demand and supply, imbalance in food grain components, declining growth rate of food grain yields especially in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, rice, and wheat in the last decade add to the woes of malnutrition and food security problems. The rice, wheat and pulse crops constitute the main components of food security mission. Optimal utilization …
