Five years integrated crop management in direct seeded rice–zero till wheat rotation of north-western India: Effects on soil carbon dynamics, crop yields, water productivity and economic profitability

Double zero-tillage and foliar-P nutrition coupled with bio-inoculants enhance physiological photosynthetic characteristics and resilience to nutritional and environmental stresses in maize–wheat rotation

“…At the same time, improved crop residue decomposition might have improved SOC, SMBC, nutrient availability, soil moisture content, and biological activity, resulting in greater growth and productivity ( Naresh et al, 2014 ; Choudhary et al, 2018 , 2020 ; Bhupenchandra et al, 2022 ). Furthermore, in the ZT system, characteristics such as reduced resource competition, root aeration, and high fertilizer-use efficiency resulted in higher grain output than in the CT system ( Biswakarma et al, 2021 ). Less machine trafficking and greater soil health may also contribute to higher grain output in ZT plots ( Paul et al, 2014 ; Varatharajan et al, 2019a , b ; Kumar et al, 2021 , 2022 ), better root aeration ( Choudhary et al, 2018 ; Singh et al, 2020a , b ); and most notably, there will be less water stagnation after heavy rains and increased moisture conservation during dry periods ( Choudhary et al, 2018 , 2020 ; Kumar et al, 2022 ), a common feature during SW-monsoons in semi-arid IGPR.…”

Tingkat Penerapan Teknologi Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (Ptt) Pada Usahatani Padi Sawah Di Kecamatan Biboki Moenleu Kabupaten Ttu

“…Peningkatan produktivitas usaha tanaman padi sangat dibutuhkan dalam rangka pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan, oleh karena itu penggunaan teknologi dalam usahatani padi sangat dibutuhkan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas. Untuk itu Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian menciptakan komponen teknologi Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (integrated crop management) yang merupakan paket 11 komponen teknologi utama dan pilihan yang adaptif serta dapat disesuaikan dengan kondisi agroekologi setempat (Biswakarma et al, 2021;Kartasasmita et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2017a).…”

“…Benih varietas unggul merupakan salah satu komponen teknologi dalam Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (PTT) atau secara internasional dikenal dengan integrated crop management (ICM) merupakan sistem produksi tanaman dengan tetap menjaga kelestarian sumberdaya alam serta mempertimbangkan potensi interaksi biologi, lingkungan, dan sistem pengelolaan lahan (Bagheri et al, 2019;Guo et al, 2020;Thi & Chi, 2008;Wang et al, 2017bWang et al, , 2017a. Penerapan Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu pada komoditi padi sawah merupakan sebuah inovasi untuk menunjang peningkatan produksi padi (Biswakarma et al, 2021). Sebagai salah satu upaya maupun inovasi untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman penerapan Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu padi sawah bertumpu pada empat prinsip, yaitu: Terpadu, Sinergis, Spesifik Lokasi dan Partisipatif (Fitria & Ali, 2014).…”

Integrated management enhances crop physiology and final yield in maize intercropped with blackgram in semiarid South Asia

“…Hence, this prompted us to study how the blackgram intercropping in maize changes the growth, physiology and productivity of maize crop mediated by various ICM modules. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has recently adopted the ICM as a holistic site-specific approach to crop husbandry that combines the sustainable tillage and land configuration practices and the integrated nutrient, weed, water and pest management practices to deliver the most efficient and safe farm output with long-term benefits while conserving/enhancing the natural resources (Varatharajan et al, 2019a;Choudhary et al, 2020;Biswakarma et al, 2021). Globally, ICM has gained importance because of numerous crop production and resource constraints associated with major cropping systems, viz., rice-wheat, maize-wheat, pigeonpeawheat and soybean-wheat, etc., in India per se.…”

“…The application of ICM techniques helps in raising RUE and system productivity (Choudhary et al, 2020). Earlier reports in major cropping systems of India like RWCS, maize-wheat cropping system (MWCS), soybean-wheat under ICM indicated that CA-based treatments recorded higher crop yields due to improved crop physiological and photosynthetic characteristics, modulation of microclimate and resilience to environmental stresses, enhanced soil fertility and favourable soil microbiome (Choudhary et al, , 2020Varatharajan et al, 2019a;Singh et al, 2020Singh et al, , 2021Singh et al, , 2022aBiswakarma et al, 2021;Pooniya et al, 2022). Our extensive literature review revealed that the majority of earlier studies focused on individual components of crop management, i.e., crop establishment, tillage, nutrient, weed, water, energy management, etc.…”
