Appropriation of Tillage and Sowing Pattern for Enhancing Productivity of Bt Cotton
Abstract: AbstractAn experiment was carried out at Junagadh (Gujarat) during 2010 to 2012 to assess the response of Bt cotton (NHH-44) to three tillage practices (Conventional tillage i.e. cross cultivation + blade harrowing + planking, Ploughing + blade harrowing + planking, and Tillage through rotavator) and four sowing patterns (Flat bed sowing, Furrow sowing, Ridge sowing, and Paired row sowing). The results revealed that ploughing + blade harrowing + planking significantly …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …
