“…Meanwhile, status of the underdeveloped transportation infrastructure in the region prevents the Tibetan turnip from coming into contact with external turnip germplasms, preserving primitive germplasm groups. The traditional independent family farm mode and the typical geographic origin result in high diversity among these individual turnip landraces [8]. Beyond this, the QTP occupies an important position as the world's earliest and largest agricultural and cultivated plant origin center [9].…”

Turnip, one of the oldest groups of cultivated Brassica rapa species, is a traditional crop as well as a form of animal fodder, a vegetable, and a herbal medicine that is widely cultivated in farming and farming-pastoral regions in Tibet. Different regions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) are home to a rich diversity of turnip owing to their high altitudes and variable climate types. However, information on the morphology and genetic diversity of Tibetan turnip remains limited. Therefore, the genetic diversity of 171 turnip varieties from China and elsewhere (Japan, Korea, and Europe) was analyzed using 58 morphological characteristics and 31 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in this study. The varieties showed that the genetic distance ranged from 0.12 to 1.00, and the genetic similarity coefficient ranged between 0.73 and 0.95. Cluster tree showed two distinct clusters. Both morphotype and geography contributed to the group classification. A combination of morphological traits and molecular markers could refine the precision of accurate identification compared to the separate morphological and molecular data analyses. The sampling ratio of 15% to utmost precisely represent the initial population was compared to ratios of 10% and 20%, and the sampling ratio of 15% is recommended for future works when a primary core collection of turnip resources is constructed. These results could furnish a foundation for germplasm conservation and effective turnip breeding in future studies.

“…Conservation agriculture (CA) has come into view as an important priority area across the globe for fulfilling the growing demand for safe and healthy food and environmental sustainability (FAO, 2014) along with mitigating food security, biodiversity, climate change impacts on agriculture, and water scarcity (Choudhary et al, 2016). A combination of diversified farming and farming experiences helped to significantly increase income through CA (Saha et al, 2022) whereas adoption of CA is linked not only to ecological aspects, but also to the socio-ecological factors like adopter's characteristics, level of perception, and decision-making process (Chatterjee et al, 2021).…”

The excessive reliance on chemical fertilizers and the negligence shown to the conservation and use of organic manures (OM) have led to the exhaustion of organic carbon level, soil moisture level, and retention of microorganism population in the soil. The present study reveals that the farmers merely have any perception or they are not technically aware of the importance of the application of OM into their farming for the restoration of ecological resilience. Elucidating the factors, impacts, and perceptions of farmers, fifty respondents have been selected from Dalilpur and Kastodanga village of Nadia district by systematic random sampling for the study. The responses are collected through a structured interview schedule.The study envisaged that the livestock count, size of homestead land, size of landholding, production of organic manure, education variables have been found to exert strong and determining contribution to the application of organic manure. The socialization of proper cognitive adoption of organic manure among the farmers for the restoration of ecological resilience and popularization of resource-saving agricultural crop production is the need of the hour.

“…Based on soil testing, primary and secondary nutrients are applied to specific sites making the best use of existing nutrients such as those found in soil residues parts and manures whereas SSNM also offers directions for selecting the most costeffective nutritional combinations. Three essential phases in site-specific nutrient management include assessing soil and crop variability, controlling the variability, and evaluating it (Choudhary et al, 2016). We can moderate variability and conduct precision farming by using the current technologies to assess variability and provide site-specific agronomic solutions.…”

A blanket fertilizer was recommended by the Department of Agriculture (DOA) for all species of cabbage. However, the fertilizer application is needed to be site-specific. Hence a field experiment was conducted at Ambalangoda during the Maha season in 2019 with the objective of evaluating the effect of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Boron (B) on the yield and the Quality of cauliflower. Batapola Ambalangoda soil was analyzed for available nutrients and identified the most deficit macronutrients as Ca, B and Mg. This was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates. One plot size was 1m × 2m and each plot had ten plants. Five treatments were taken as NPK (DOA recommendation) (T1), NPK + Ca + Mg (T2), NPK + Ca + Mg + B (T3), NPK + Ca (T4), NPK + Mg (T5). Incorporating magnesium, calcium and boron with the DOA recommendation resulted in larger cauliflower curds under field conditions, contributing to a 44.2 % increase in curd yield. The additional four days of shelf life were observed in the curds of T3.
