Field experiments were carried out at Dry land research station, KVK Munger during kharif seasons of 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the yield potential and economics of pearl millet varieties under the rainfed condition of sub-humid sub-tropical environment of South Bihar. The sandy-loam soil of the experimental field was low in organic carbon (0.26%), available N (182.5 kg ha-1), and available P2 O5 (19.5 kg ha-1) and medium in K2O (168.kg ha-1) content, having pH 6.8. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice with nine pearl millet varieties viz. Pusa hybrid 1201, Pusa hybrid 1202, Pusa composit 443, Pusa composit 612, Proagro 9444, Proagro 9444 GOLD, Proagro 9330+, Proagro Tejas and Proagro 9450. The highest plant dry matter accumulation (126.68g plant-1) at harvest stage was noticed with hybrid 'Proagro 9444' which was atpar to 'Pusa hybrid 1201', 'Pusa hybrid 1202' and 'Proagro 9450'. Significantly higher grain yield (33.87 q ha-1) was in hybrid 'Proagro 9450' which was comparable to 'Proagro 9444' (32.09 q ha-1) and 'Pusa hybrid 1201' (30.67 q ha-1) but superior over other varieties. The significantly more net return (Rs 67815 ha-1) and B:C ratio(3.41) was with Proagro 9450 but at par to Proagro 9444.(Rs 66188 and 3.33)

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of establishment techniques on yield and economics of red gram [Cajanus cajan (L.)] under irrigated condition at Regional Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Paiyur - 635 112,Tamil Nadu, India during Kharif season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively in randomized block design with four replications. The treatments are line sowing/dibbling of seeds, sowing behind the country plough, sowing in polybag and transplanting at 25 and 40 DAS, sowing in portrays and transplanting in 25 and 40 DAS. The redgram variety LRG 41 was used for study. The results revealed that, dibbling of seeds in lines recorded higher grain yield of 2351 kg ha-1, net income of Rs.99495/- and B:C ratio of 3.39. Thus, dibbling of seeds in lines recorded 6% higher over sowing in poly bag and transplanting at 25 DAS and 27% higher yield over sowing behind the country plough. Considering yield and economics, line sowing seems to better option for the farmers followed by sowing in polybags and transplanted in 25 DAS. Under transplanted situation, transplanting of seedlings at 30 DAS was more suitable where the monsoon was delayed for 30 to 45 days under rainfed situation.

ABSTRACT - The present study aimed to determine the curves of macronutrients and dry matter accumulation in grain sorghum DKB 599, grown in a semiarid region. A field experiment was conducted on a sandy loam eutrophic red Latosol (Oxisol) in Janaúba, State of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil, in a randomized block design with four replications. As statistical method, a nonlinear regression, sigmoidal function with three parameters was used. After drying, the plants were weighed and ground to determine N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S concentration. Grain sorghum plants accumulate nutrients in their shoots in the following order: N> K> Ca> P> Mg> S. The highest concentrations of K and N were observed in stems and grains, respectively. In the conditions of this experiment, the most favorable time to perform nitrogen and potassium topdressing fertilization is when the plants present seven fully expanded leaves or 24 days after the emergency (DAE). Keywords: fertilization, growth, nutrition, Sorghum bicolor. ABSORÇÃO DE MACRONUTRIENTES E ACÚMULO DE MATÉRIA SECA NO SORGO GRANÍFERO RESUMO - Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar as curvas de acúmulo de matéria seca e macronutrientes no sorgo DKB 599 cultivado em região semiárida. O experimento foi conduzido em campo sobre um Latossolo Vermelho eutrófico, de textura franco-argilosa, no município de Janaúba-MG, Brasil, em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Utilizou-se o modelo de regressão não linear, função sigmoidal com três parâmetros como método estatístico. Após secagem, cada parte da planta foi pesada e moída para, em seguida, determinarem-se os teores de N, P, K, Ca, Mg e S. As plantas de sorgo granífero acumulam nutrientes em sua parte aérea na seguinte ordem: N > K > Ca > P > Mg > S. As maiores concentrações de K e N foram observadas, respectivamente, nos caules e nos grãos. Nas condições de condução do experimento, a época mais propícia para realizar a adubação nitrogenada e potássica em cobertura é quando as plantas apresentam sete folhas totalmente expandidas ou 24 dias após a emergência (DAE). Palavras-chave: fertilização, crescimento, nutrição, Sorghum bicolor.

This study aimed at determining the effect of a variety of plants arrangements on foliar growth and development as well as the productive potential in soybean. The field experiments were performed over two agricultural years (2015/16 and 2016/17) on Argisoil in subtropical environment. The two selected cultivars, viz., BMX Tornado RR and FPS Urano RR were sown in four spatial distribution of the plants such as conventional spacing (0.45 m spacing between rows), reduced spacing (0.225 m spacing between rows), paired spacing (two rows with 0.225 m and 0.45 m spacing from the other rows) and crossed spacing (0.45 m spacing between the rows with crosses of two rows, at a 90° angle). The randomized block design was adopted for the experiments with the treatments in a 2x4 factorial distribution and four replications. The first factor was the cultivar and the second types of plant distribution. The results showed that plant arrangement affected the plant profile regarding the behavior of the ecophysiological variables like plastochron, leaf lifetime and yield distribution. Leaf life in each stratum was caused by the foliar senescence rhythm, explained by a 4th degree polynomial model, revealing two peaks in the senescence rate, one during pre-flowering stage and the other when the grain filling stage was completed. According to the results, we do not recommend changes in conventional spacing.

ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kemajuan seleksi tandem dan independent culling level selama tiga siklus di lahan kering dan mengetahui rerata daya hasil dan stay-green (brangkasan segar) populasi hasil seleksi dibanding dengan populasi awal dan varietas unggul Lamuru. Percobaan dirancang dengan rancangan acak kelompok, 3 blok di lahan kering Lombok Utara. Data dianalisa dengan analisis sidik ragam pada taraf nyata 5 persen. Rata-rata kemajuan seleksi per siklus setiap cara, diperoleh dari koefisien regresi antara karakter dengan siklus seleksi (populasi). Rerata perlakuan, diuji lanjut dengan BNT0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa kemajuan seleksi per siklus kedua cara hingga siklus ketiga untuk daya hasil dan brangkasan segar bersifat linear yang nyata. Besarnya kemajuan seleksi per siklus daya hasil secara tandem dan independent culling level berturut-turut 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan; sedangkan untuk brangkasan segar sebesar 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan. Rerata daya hasil dan bobot brangkasan segar, populasi hasil seleksi siklus ketiga kedua cara lebih besar dibanding  populasi awal. Daya hasil populasi hasil seleksi independent culling level siklus ketiga lebih besar dibanding varietas Lamuru; namun populasi hasil seleksi tandem sama. ABSTRACT             The objective of this research was to determine the progress of tandem and independent culling level selections until the three cycles on dry land and determine the mean grain yield and stay - green of selected plant populations compared with the base population and Lamuru superior variety. The experiment was designed using randomized block design with 3 replicates in North Lombok dry land.  The observed data were analyzed using analysis of variance and LSD at the 5 percent significance level. The average of selection progress per cycle each way was obtained from the regression coefficient between the observed characters and the selection cycle (population). The results of the research showed that the progress of selection per cycle until the third cycle for yield (dry grain seed weight) and fresh biomass for both ways were significant linear. The selection progress of yield potential for tandem selection and independent culling level  were 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan respectivelly. The selection progress of biomass weight were 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan for tandem selection and independent culling level. Mean of yield potential and fresh biomass weight for two ways were higher base population. Yield  population  of independent culling level selection three cycles were higher than Lamuru variety; but population result of tandem selection as the same.
