Background: The integration of drip irrigation and nitrogen fertilization presents a synergistic approach to optimize okra production. Drip irrigation not only ensures efficient water use but also facilitates the precise application of fertilizers, thereby enhancing nutrient availability and nutrient uptake. This targeted approach helps in minimizi...

As the global population grows, the demand for food production intensifies, placing immense pressure on agriculture. Water is one of the most vital resources in farming, making efficient water management crucial not only for improving crop yields but also for ensuring sustainable farming practices. Traditional water management methods often result...

As global populations rise and the demand for both food and energy intensify, the concept of agrivoltaic systems-integrating solar energy production with agriculture-has emerged as a pioneering solution. Agrivoltaics, also known as agrophotovoltaics (APV), allow for the simultaneous use of land for farming and solar power generation. This dual-purp...

In order to cater for the world's population's nutritional needs, which is expanding quickly, is a pressing necessity in the current situation. Approximately one-third of crops cultivated conventionally experience damage from infestations of pests, microbial attacks, natural disasters, inadequate soil quality, and a lack of available nutrients. To...

A field experiment was conducted at Water Technology Centre, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar during summer 2020-21 on "Influence of Drip Irrigation Scheduling and Nitrogen Levels on yield Attributes of Summer Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)". The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 12 treatments. The treatments comprise of th...

Solar energy is transforming the agricultural landscape, empowering farmers to harness the sun's power to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and promote sustainability. In agriculture, solar energy is utilized in various innovative applications, including solar-powered irrigation systems, which pump water efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and...

Effective water management in agriculture is essential for sustainable crop production, resource conservation, and environmental protection. Regular maintenance of soil moisture and irrigation levels in the field helps to prevent water loss and improves water retention, rainwater harvesting which enhances soil health conditions. In the context of a...

Land is a vital natural resource and is the basis of our existence. Due to mounting pressure from increasing human and livestock population it has been subjected to various pressures and misuse resulting in the land degradation and biodiversity loss. Land management is therefore paramount importance so that the needs of human and livestock are met...

The increasing global demand for food, coupled with water scarcity and climate change, has necessitated the adoption of efficient irrigation methods in agriculture. Drip irrigation, known for its precision in delivering water directly to plant roots, is at the forefront of these advancements. Recent innovations in this field include smart irrigatio...

A field experiment was conducted at Water Technology Centre, College of Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during summer 2020-21 on “Optimization of irrigation and nitrogen levels under drip fertigation in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus l.) during summer” 2020-21. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with Radhika hybrid (40 c...

Studies on diversification of farming systems under 24 marginal farm households in six villages of erstwhile Warangal district of Telangana state was carried out from 2013 to 2016. The mean holding size was 0.87 ha across the households and every household was maintaining buffaloes/cows, sheep and backyard poultry. The major cropping system were ri...

Farmers can employ the water-saving technique known as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) to reduce the irrigation water used in rice fields while maintaining crop yields. This irrigation method decreases water usage in rice cultivation by allowing periods of unsaturated soil during the growing season without compromising productivity. During the K...

The global agricultural sector is facing unprecedented challenges due to the climate change affects such as extreme weather events, scarcity of water, and pest outbreaks. As a result, there is a pressing need to adopt innovative technologies that can help mitigate these impacts and ensure sustainable food production for a growing population. Emergi...

A comprehensive field investigation was conducted to enhance the productivity, profitability, and water use efficiency (WUE) of summer okra through the optimization of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer application. The study involved 3 irrigation levels-0.75 E pan (pan evaporation) as I1 , 1.00 E pan as I2 , and 1.25 E pan as I3-as the main plot f...

The immense demand on India’s energy resources caused by its sustained economic expansion is expected to continue in the future. India’s energy system is currently primarily supported by coal, petroleum, and biomass. India’s per-capita energy consumption, however, is just around one-third of the global average (Bianchini et. al. 2016). As its commi...

A field study was taken up to evaluate the influence of organic sources of nutrients and inorganic fertility levels in aerobic rice during kharif 2017 and kharif 2018 at Indian Institute of Rice Research, Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatment comprised of M1: Ne...

Soil alteration techniques popularly known as “Tillage” responsible for clean growing medium, eliminate unwanted plants, and reduce leaching and percolation losses to increase crop yields– long-term effects on soil characteristics, structure, and ultimately the ecosystem have been seen. Greenhouse gases are a problem because of agriculture. Zero ti...
