Soil health methods, including cover cropping, crop rotation, and conservation tillage, yield a multitude of environmental and economic benefits. These advantages encompass carbon sequestration, soil erosion mitigation, nutrient leaching prevention, and the establishment of habitats for beneficial insects and pollinators. Nonetheless, there exists a comparatively limited degree of awareness and implementation of soil fertility control techniques. Soil health practices have emerged as a unifying factor among diverse stakeholders within the agricultural sector, fostering collaboration amongst the scientific community and facilitating economic advancement for the broader populace. Insufficient data pertaining to soil health and the reluctance to use soil health management strategies are seen as substantial barriers in augmenting agricultural productivity inside the nation. A research investigation was undertaken in the Hisar area of Haryana to evaluate the extent of knowledge and use of soil health measures. So, randomly 120 farmers were selected for the investigation and a well-developed interview schedule was developed to meet the objectives. The results of the study indicate that certain soil health measures have achieved extensive recognition, including land levelling, field bunding, irrigation with high-quality water, and the utilization of green manure/organic manure. Nevertheless, many agricultural strategies, such as the use of reduced tillage techniques alongside cover crops and the adoption of integrated farming systems, exhibit relatively lower rates of adoption. In general, the current rate of implementation of soil health measures is quantified at 40.72 percent, suggesting a necessity for enhancement.

The study conducted to understand the effectiveness of agricultural information disseminated through social media as perceived by the farmers in three erstwhile districts of the Southern Telangana zone of Telangana state, with a sample size of 120 in year 2020. Effectiveness of Agricultural Information Index (EAII) was developed for the study by selecting eight indicators. It was found that (39.17%) of the respondents perceived effectiveness of agriculture information disseminated through social media as a medium level. Age and farming experience were found to be negative and significant with the effectiveness of agricultural information perceived by respondents. Digital literacy, farm size, social media network, social media usage, mode of access and preference, readiness to accept information, social media participation was positive and significant in relation to perceived effectiveness, and the variable information processing was found non-significant. The results shown that more than half of the respondents perceived information received on social media is effective. Social media platforms can be utilised effectively by developing better interface and information content to pictures and video format.

“…A decrease in the area under rice cultivation has resulted in a growing annual shortfall in rice production. In Kerala, where rice farming has been practiced for centuries, a severe issue has arisen due to the widespread conversion of paddy lands for other crops or residential purposes [5,6]. By erecting barriers to the entry of brackish water from the lakes and oceans and directing the flow of fresh water from the river system to these fields, the reclamation schemes were primarily designed to increase the amount of area under the rice crop and increase the output of the current fields [30].…”

Kerala state's rice consumption is predicted to be between 3.5 and 4 million tons per year, but production is just a sixth of this. In order to boost the state's rice production, attention must be paid to traditional rice growing techniques. Thus, there is a need to understand the Pokkali rice cultivation method used in Kerala. The Pokkali style of rice farming in Kerala's acidic, saline soil is a distinctive way of rice cultivation. A native historic salt-tolerant type of rice called Pokkali, with a 120-day growing season, can withstand flooding by growing up to a height of 1.5 meters. Chettivirippu, Vyttila 1, Vyttila 2, Vyttila 3, Vyttila 4 and Vyttila 5 are the other rice varieties cultivated using the Pokkali rice cultivation method. With this technique, a single rice crop is harvested on mounds during the low salinity part of the production cycle (June to mid-October), with prawn aquaculture taking place during the high salinity phase (November to April). Pokkali cultivation only produce 2000 kg of rice per hectare, making it slightly unprofitable. The rice plant residue after harvesting is left to rot in the water which subsequently acts as prawn feed. Prawn farming takes place from November to April. Sluice gates help in prawn culture filtering by maximizing the amount of saline water that enters the field and preventing the prawns from escaping. The two main cultivated prawns species are Penaeus monodon (Tiger prawn) and Penaeus indicus (White prawn). Prawns are typically collected in mid-April, especially two to three days before new full moon days, as tidal activity affects their movement. Prawn excreta serve as a natural fertilizer for rice cultivation; prawns feeding on rice cultivation stubbles help to minimize the occurrence of illness in rice to a minimum. It is an organic rice production approach with less cost than commercial rice farming because chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not used.
