On Farm Testing (OFT) of Yard long bean variety Arka Mangla and Lola were conducted at KVK Ernakulum during 2014-15 with five farmers in area of one ha. The OFT were conducted with active participation of farmer's to disseminate improved technology of Yard long bean to achieve production potential. The improved technologies consisting the use of modern variety, seed treatment, balance fertilizer application and integrated pest management. On Farm Testing data were recorded with respect to green pods yield as compared to farmer's local practice. The results of suggested that improved technology recorded higher green pods yield 50.7 q/ha, 45.6 q/ha and 40.7 q/ha, in Arka Magala and Lola and Local variety, respectively. In addition to high in yield of Arka Mangla, lower values of technology gap, extension gap and index existed. The improved technology gave higher gross return, net return with higher benefit cost ratio Yard long bean as compare to farmer's practices.

“…In India, groundnut accounts for 40 per cent of the area and 30 per cent of the production of total oilseeds (Anonymous, 2009). It was cultivated on an area of 5.53 m ha with production of 9.67 MT and productivity of 1750 kg/ha during 2013-2014(AICRPG, 2015. Groundnut is the principal kharif oilseed crop of Rajasthan.…”

“…Hence, efforts should be aimed to remove the constraints responsible for its poor productivity. Under such situation, adoption of improved package of practices (Kumar, 2013 andKumar, 2014) intensive crop rotation, inclusion of short duration crops in existing rotations of grain, fodder and cash crops and better agronomic practices have great significance.…”

The present study was planned to evaluate the performance of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under varying levels of sulphur and its sources under Semi-Arid condition of Rajasthan. Application of 60 kg S/ha resulted 8.8, 23.8 and 59.6% more pod/plant than 45, 30 and 15 kg S/ha, respectively. Gypsum as a source of S recorded 15.4 and 50.4% higher pods/ plant over SSP and elemental sulphur, respectively. However, number of kernels/pod increased significantly upto 45 kg/ha only. Gypsum and SSP improved the kernels/pod by 14.2 and 11.2% over elemental sulphur, respectively. Application of 60 kg S/ha resulted in 140, 345 and 744 kg/ha and 127, 319 and 616 kg/ha higher pod and kernel yield over 45, 30 and 15 kg/ha, respectively. Sulphur application through gypsum recorded the highest pod yield (1872 kg/ha) of groundnut that was 13.1 and 32.0 percent more than obtained under SSP and elemental sulphur treatment, respectively. Application of sulphur at 75 kg S/ha was recorded highest shelling% (72.13%) which were 7.0 and 10.9 per cent higher over 30 and 15 kg S/ha. The application of S at 45 kg/ha exhibited 7.6 and 17.0% higher protein content over 30 and 15 kg S/ha, respectively. Among sources, the highest protein content (23.75%), oil content (44.49%) and oil yield (597.76 kg/ha) was obtained with gypsum. Application of 60 kg S/ha increased oil yield by magnitude of 70.3, 175.1 and 316.9 kg/ha over 45, 30 and 15 kg S/ha, respectively. Sulphur application at the rate of 60 kg/ha increased the margin to the tune of 6343, 15867, 34062/ha over 45, 30 and 15 kg S/ha, respectively. Likewise, graded increment in levels of sulphur resulted in significantly higher BCR upto 60 kg/ha over lower levels. The maximum net returns (55358/ha) and BCR (1.68) were obtained with gypsum.

“…Stagnated production of pulses is due to low productivity combined with ever increasing population has led to sharp decline in per capita availability from 63 g/day in 1961 to merely 31.6 g in 2010 (DE & S, 2011). The yield of pulse crops is low due to lack of awareness in adoption of improved technology (Kumar, 2014a andKumar, 2014b). Inclusion of legumes in crop sequence increases the soil fertility and consequently the productivity of succeeding cereal crops (Singh and Shivay, 2013).…”

A field experiment was conducted to formulate the fertilizer prescription equations for achieving desired yield target of green gram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) during 2013-14. Three fertility gradient stripes were created by applying no fertilizer, recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and double of the RDF in rice in order to develop three fertility gradient stripes during kharif. Each strip was again sub-divided into 24 sub plots and green gram was cultivated with different treatment combinations. One plot was kept as absolute control while FYM was applied in two sub-plots and rest 21 plots were applied with different graded doses of fertilizers. Initial and post harvest soil nutrient status, nutrient uptake, nutrient requirement, soil efficiency, fertilizer efficiency and yield data were recorded. The highest yield (12.15 q ha -1 ) was achieved with application of 30:50:50 (N: P 2 O 5 : K 2 O). Fertilizer prescription equations were formulated by multiple regression equation for site specific nutrient management on the basis of initial soil fertility status and targeted yield approach. The equations and ready reckoner were developed for higher production with optimum use of fertilizers according to desired yield target of green gram with sustainable manner.
