Abstract

The study was carried out in assured and less irrigated areas of Aligarh district in Utter Pradesh. Sample was consisted of 300 dairy farmers (150 from each part). The result depicted that majority (71.34%) of dairy farmers of assured irrigated area were highly motivated to opt economic pursuit as compared to only 24.67 per cent in less irrigated area. In assured irrigated area most of the farmers had either favourable (47.33%) or undecided (40.67%) attitude towards dairying, while less than half (49.33%) dairy farmers had favourable or undecided attitude towards dairy farming. Result depicted that both the sample differed highly significant economic motivation (t=99.03) and attitude towards dairy farming (t=112.34).

Abstract

Long term integrated nutrient management trails in wheat on Vertisols conducted for 33 years at J. N. Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Research Farm, Jabalpur revealed that highest sustainability yield index (SYI) was observed in 100 per cent NPK+FYM, while lowest was observed in 100 per cent N treatment. However, the mean grain yield was not significantly influenced by different nutrient management practices except in case of control (no manure and fertilizers) and 100 per cent N alone treatments. The continuous application of recommended dose of phosphorus fertilizer to wheat (80 kg ha^-1) crop every year resulted in substantial built up of available phosphorus up to 39 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 from initial level initial of 7.6 P₂O₅ ha^-1.
