Front line demonstrations were conducted at 200 farmers fields to demonstrate production potential of Rabi sorghum and economic benefits of improved technologies comprising high yielding Rabi Sorghum variety CSV 29 -R in Vikarabad district of southern Telangana region of Telangana during rabi 2014-2015, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 in rainfed condition. The additional yield under improved technologies over local practice ranged from 2.25 to 3.20 q/ha with a mean yield of 2.6 q/ha. In comparison to local practice, there was an increase of 16%, 15%, 17% and 20%. The improved technologies also incurred higher benefit cost: ratio of 3.16 to 3.24 the ratio was 2.31 to 2.50 over the local check during the respective years of 2014-15 to 2017-18.
An experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Tandur, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) for three consecutive years viz. 2014-16, 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the Effect of production factors on growth and yield of rabi sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) during the winter seasons. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments comprised of T1: Control only improved hybrid CSH-15-R T2: Full package of practices (FPP) T3: FPP without Irrigation T4: FPP without Fertilizer T5:FPP without Weed Control T6: FPP without -Plant protection T7: FPP without seed treatment with PSB and azospirillum T8 : FPP without Thinning T9 : FPP without Improved variety (only local variety) with three replications. The pooled results of the trial indicated that there was 32% yield reduction when the improved sorghum hybrid was grown without using all the full package of practices. (i.e., over FPP). The gross returns of rupees 115615 ha-1, net returns of rupees 91655 ha-1 and benefit cost ratio of 3.83 were recorded highest with all the full package of practices.
The control is recommended to be the local variety). This is the All India Coordinated research network project conducted across India without any changes in the hybrid and is predominantly successful production factor over the variety which is released for its performance over the existing suitable varieties for testing.
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.
