“…Sole crop of horse gram recorded significantly higher biological yield (3106.20 kg ha -1 ), which was superior compared with other treatment combinations (Table 3). Biological yield was significantly higher under T 3 (4 m × 3 m) treatment (2420.60 kg ha -1 ) followed by T 2 (4 m × 2 m) (1779.60 kg ha -1 ), whereas significantly lower biological yield was recorded in T 1 (4 m × 1 m) with 1444.60 kg ha -1 .Similar trend was observed by Mutanal et al (2001) [8] in sorghum, Bayala et al (2002) [3] in pearl millet, Dai et al (2008) [6] in maize, Mutanal et al…”

“…The harvest index shows how well an organism is able to translocate photosynthates into organs that have a high economic yield. An effective way to assess crop yield potential is through the harvest index (Abdalla et al, 2015) [6] . In the current study, after intercropping of horse gram the value of HI ranged from 36.62% to 39.28% (Fig.…”

An experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Babbur Farm, Hiriyur during the year 2021-2022. Agroforestry is becoming more significant in light of the increased need for wood and the accessibility of farmland. The main area for agroforestry consideration is the creation of a suitable tree crop spacing combination and productivity evaluation. The present field experiment was conducted to assess growth and yield performance of horse gram under three spacing i.e., 4 m × 1 m, 4 m × 2 m, and 4 m × 3 m of Melia dubia and with sole crops as horsegram. The experiment consists of four treatments with five replications in RCBD design treatments T1-horse gram in 4 m × 1 m, T2-horse gram in 4 m × 2 m, T3-horse gram in 4 m × 3 m and T4-sole horse gram. Horse gram growth parameters were recorded at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest and yield parameters were estimated. Results revealed that there was a significant difference between horse gram growth parameters i.e., plant height, number of branches and dry matter production at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest. The horse gram yield parameters were ranked as T4 > T3 > T2 > T1 with significant difference among T1, T2, T3 and T4. The highest yield of horse gram was obtained in T4 (1220.02 Kg/ha) followed by T3 (931.4 Kg/ha), T2 (667 Kg/ha) and T1 (529 Kg/ha). The horse gram growth and yield increases with increasing spacing of Melia dubia and relatively higher in sole horse gram plot. The shade impact that trees have on crops may be the reason of the decline in yield with decreasing spacing. However, the long term benefit of trees wood accumulation fetched more economic returns in the future.

“…Therefore, in Pakistan, average yields of major crops are low at the farmer's level in comparison with that at research farms and in other countries (Government of Pakistan, 2008). Dai et al (2008) emphasized the supplementation of enough available nutrients in both the wheat and maize, especially during the active growth period of crops. In this study, a nonsignificant difference (PB0.05) in wheat grain yield under IF and SWC'IF for both years elucidated that water availability was enough in both treatments.…”

Cultivated lands in erosion prone agro-ecologies incessantly experience a substantial loss of productive soil and organic matter. Currently, the fertility-management and rainwater-conservation practices are given emphasis separately. This study appraised collectively both the water-conservation and fertility-management practices for the restoration of soil productivity in eroded farmlands. Field experiments were carried out on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) in eight farmer fields. Four fields of Missa soil series (Typic Ustochrept) and four of Rajar soil series (Typic Ustorthent) were selected. Treatments in each field were: farmers' practice as control without soil-water conservation, and with farmers' rate of fertilizer (per hectare 40 kg N'30 kg P 2 O 5 ); improved fertilization (per hectare 100 kg N, 60 kg P 2 O 5, 2 kg Zn, and 1 kg B) without soil-water-conservation practices; soil-water-conservation practices (deep plowing, bund improvement, ploughing across the contour)'farmers' rate of fertilizers; and soil-water conservation'improved fertilization. Crop grain yields were at the highest with soil-water conservation'improved fertilization (per hectare wheat 3.31 Mg and 1.65 Mg in 2004Á2005 and 2005Á2006; and maize 4.55 Mg and 4.19 Mg in 2005 and 2006, respectively). The lowest yields were recorded under farmers' practice for both crops. Similar was the response for water-use efficiency and plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc, and boron. Missa soil series was more responsive than was Rajar to integrated soil-management practices. Synergistic application of soil-water conservation and improved fertilization practices significantly improved the crop yields, nutrient uptake, and water-use efficiency.
