Abstract Erythroneura sudra is a leafhopper occurring in northern China, which causes significant damage to fruit. The relationships between E. sudra and five fruit tree species (Rosaceae) were studied for 3 yr. The highest relative density of E. sudra was recorded on leaves of Amygdalus persica L. and Cerasus pseudocerasus Lindl. Likewise, it had the highest survival rate and shortest developmental time when it fed on these two plants species, indicating that they were the most preferred by E. sudra than the other plant species. The relative density and growth performance of E. sudra were negatively correlated with the levels of tannins and flavonoids in the leaves of the host species. Both plant species had relatively lower flavonoids and tannins, and this may have contributed to the enhanced survival and population growth of E. sudra. These results can guide the development of improved management strategies for this pest.

Management Case Study

<p>Agriculture system modeling is an effective tool in assisting agriculture practitioners to make crop calendar and to set up crop management strategies. Integration of the toll with climate forecast modeling will provide greater help for decision makers and farmers to set up better drought coping strategies. However the adoption of this tool is constrained by limited availability of long historical daily climatic data. This study indicates that the use of climatic data generator can solve this problem. Application of this approach at Pusaka Negara was assessed. It is suggested that when April SOI phase is rapidly falling or constantly negative (indicating EL-Nino years), keeping planting rice in the dry season is not recommended. Farmers may need to change their crops to non-rice crops requiring less water. The latest planting time for these crops in the El-Nino years should be first week of May. If the harvesting of first rice crops occur after 1st week of May, it is suggested that the land should be fallowed.</p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Pemodelan sistim pertanian merupakan salah salat alat yang efektif untuk membantu pelaksana lapang dalam menyusun kalender tanam atau mengatur strategi pengelolaan tanaman. Penggabungan model tanaman dengan model prakiraan iklim akan sangat membantu pengambil kebijakan dan petani dalam menyusun strategi antisipasi kekeringan. Namun penggunaan model ini seringkali mengalami hambatan karena terbatasnya ketersediaan data iklim harian jangka panjang. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunakan pembangkit data iklim dapat memecahkan masalah tersebut. Aplikasi pendekatan ini di Pusakanegara telah dilakukan. Hasil penelitian merekimendaiskan ika kondisi SOI pada bulan April turun secara cepat atau konstan negatif (mengindikasikan El Nino), penanaman padi pada musim kemarau tidak direkomendasikan. Petani disarankan untuk mengganti tanamannya dengan tanaman selain padi yang memerlukan lebih sedikit air. Waktu penanaman paling terakhir pada tahun El Nino adalah minggu pertama bulan Mei. Jika panen padi pertama dilakukan setelah 1 Mei sangat disarankan untuk memberakan lahan.</p>

One of the major reasons of low productivity in chilli is the lack of technical knowledge of the farmers about judicious and timely implementation of the management strategies against the major biotic stresses (insect pests and diseases) which ultimately reduce its return. Considering the integrated crop management on need based plant protection in vegetables was conducted in farmer’s fields at different villages of the Kalaburagi district, under northern part of Karnataka, during the period from 2011-12 to 2013-14 show the productivity potential and profitability of improved technologies. The results showed that, on an average the highest yield achieved by adopting integrated crop management was 260.17 quintals ha-1, whereas the corresponding yield ranged under farmer’s practices was to 235.243 quintals ha-1 of green chillies. Adoption of integrated crop management will increase the yield 10.56% over farmer practices. The average technological gap, extension gap and technological index were noticed 139.83 quintals ha-1, 24.92 quintals ha-1 and 34.95 % respectively. The economics of data indicated that an average of Rs. 1,64,500 ha-1 was recorded net profit under recommended practices while it was Rs 129976.7 ha-1 under farmer practices. Cost benefit ratio was 3.07 under demonstration, while it was 2.35 under farmer practices. Practicing of integrated crop management with improved technologies will improve the farmer socio-economical level.

Integrated Crop Management

The rising population and reduction in the amount of land and some other resources have created tremendous pressure on current agricultural producers to meet the increasing food demands. To cope with this challenge, certain key inputs, such as fertilizers and other chemicals, are overused, which are worsening the surroundings. This intensive agricultural production without adherence to ecological sustainability has led to declining soil health, land degradation, and severe environmental problems. So, future efforts to feed the growing population should aim for greater agricultural production within sustainable environments. In this regard, innovative steps are needed, as business-as-usual policies lack the potential to cope with these challenges. The concept of agricultural sustainability and various soil and crop management strategies (SCMS) that have been designed to optimize crop yield under sustainable environmental conditions are discussed, including nutrient management, site specific nutrient management (SSNM), integrated nutrient management (INM), integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), integrated soil-crop system management (ISSM), ridge-furrow mulching systems (RFMS), sustainable water management (SWM), conservation agriculture (CA), sustainable land management (SLM), vertical/sky farming, and integrated crop management, and breeding strategies as well as other approaches combined with technological and behavioural changes. The present review suggests that a sustainable production system can be developed by combining the multifaceted efforts under SCMS practices with short- and long-term preventive measures. Reducing chemicals’ usage, such as that of fertilizers and pesticides, plus improvements in the crop input use efficiency could minimize greenhouse gases emissions while protecting the environment. Sustainable agriculture holds promise for humankind and the planet Earth, and it can be successful if all developed and developing nations stand together to seek ‘our common future’ to produce more food while generating less environmental pressure.
