Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the per! formance of _ve pasture legumes "Sesbania sesban\ Desmenthus vir`atus\ Stylosanthes scabra\ Clitoria ternatea\ and Desmodium tortuosum used as intercropped component# with respect to nitrogen economy\ dry mat! ter and seed yield potential of Setaria sphacelata * a grass based management system which was maintained from 0882 to 0884 at Research Farm\ Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute\ Jhansi under rainfed con! dition[ Legumes like Clitoria ternatea and Stylosanthes scabra enriched the nitrogen "28[7 to 35[8 kg N = ha −0 # status of soil and the former legume produced at par seed yield to the 39 kg N = ha −0 application in S[ sphacelata[ Furthermore the increased seed yield of S[ sphacelata under intercropping of legumes was attributed to its fer! tile tillers production\ spike length and potential sink strength inducing the higher seed test weight[ Potential seed production performance of S[ sphacelata in the _rst year as compared to subsequent years might be due to its general transcript of plants and had some interactive e}ect with rainfall and some other associated cli! matological parameters[
The present study aims to study the effect of cutting and splitting of nitrogen management on the quality of different varieties of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.). The field experiment was conducted at the Genetics and Plant Breeding farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.), India during Rabi 2019-2020. The experiment was carried out with three treatments consisting of three varieties (RO-19, JHO-851, UPO-212) and four fodder cutting and splitting of nitrogen viz. (T1) Two cuttings (55 DAS & 50% flowering) + 60% N as basal + 40% N at Ist cut; (T2) Two cuttings (55 DAS & 50% flowering) + 50% N as basal + 50% N at Ist cut; (T3) Three cuttings (55 DAS, 35 days after 1st cut & 50% flowering) + 50% N as basal + 25% N at Ist cut + 25% N at IInd cut and (T4)Three cuttings (55 DAS, 35 days after 1st cut & 50% flowering) + 40% N as basal + 30% N at Ist cut + 30% N at IInd cut were laid out in split plot design with three replications. As per the results, the values of RO-19 obtained the highest Crude fibre (%), Digestible crude protein (%), Total Digestible Nutrient (%), and Water soluble carbohydrates (%) as compared to JHO-851 and UPO-212. As regarded cutting and splitting of nitrogen management on Crude fibre (%), Digestible crude protein (%), Total Digestible Nutrient (%) and Water soluble carbohydrates (%) were found maximum under Three cuttings (55 DAS, 35 days after 1st cut & 50% flowering) + 50% N as basal + 25% N at Ist cut + 25% N at IInd cut.
One of the most ignored aspects of bioacoustic technology employed worldwide is lack of understanding between acclimatisation and distress feeding by depredatory birds.Acclimatisation results in gradual increase in resistance to bioacoustics in comparison to distress feeding, which makes sudden surge in instances of feeding by depredatory birds.Acclimatisation and distress feeding are independent functions of feeding behaviour. Distress feeding in itself is a function of physiological conditions of bird, extent of cropped area, distance traveled to obtain food, population dynamics, other natural habitats and cropping pattern in an area and is greatly influenced by them. There are no studies conducted to understand the distress feeding of birds in agricultural landscape. Experiments proved that bioacoustics could offer protection against distress feeding by birds although at reduced efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
