Evaluation of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology as a Cost Effective Organic Cultivation Method in Farmer’s Field
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 …

Effective Utilization of Rainfed Lowland in Eastern India
Abstract: AbstractAgriculture water management deals with the administration of a key input to agricultural production and offers to hope that land and water use will be intensified for sustainable agriculture. Scarcity of water resources and growing of competition for water, many sectors reduce its availability for irrigation. Effective management of water for crop production in water scarce area requires efficient approaches for increasing crop productivity and drought tolerance by genetic improvement …
