Sixteen weed control treatments viz. pinoxaden (40 g ha-1), isoproturon (1250 g ha-1) alone, isoproturon + pinoxaden (1000 + 40 g ha-1), isoproturon + pinoxaden (750 + 30 g ha-1), isoproturon + 2,4-D (1000 + 500 g ha-1), isoproturon + metsulfuron-methyl (1000 + 4 g ha-1), pinoxaden + 2,4-D (40 + 1000 g ha-1), pinoxaden + metsulfuron-methyl (40 + 4 g ha-1), isoproturon fb pinoxaden (1000 fb 40 g ha-1), isoproturon fb pinoxaden (750 fb 30 g ha-1), pinoxaden fb isoproturon (40 fb 1000 g ha-1), pinoxaden fb isoproturon (30 fb 750 g ha-1), pinoxaden fb 2,4-D (40 fb 1000 g ha-1), pinoxaden fb metsulfuron-methyl (40 fb 4 g ha-1), handweeding (30&60 DAS) and weedy check were evaluated at Palampur to study their effect on nutrient depletion by wheat associated weeds. Avena ludoviciana and Phalaris minor were the major weeds constituting 31 and 19.6%, respectively of total weed dry weight. Lolium temulentum, Vicia sativa, Anagallis arvensis and Coronopus didymus constituted 12.2, 17.1, 10.9 and 9.2%, respectively of the total weed dry weight. Weed control treatments significantly decreased total weed dry weight and thereby NPK depletion by weeds as compared to weedy check. Application of pinoxaden fb MSM (40 fb 4 g ha-1) being statistically at par wih pinoxaden + MSM (40 + 4 g ha-1), pinoxaden fb 2,4-D (40 fb 1000 g ha-1) and hand weeding was significantly superior in reducing the total weed dry matter and nutrition depletion and increasing yield and NPK uptake as compared to the other herbicidal treatments. Weeds in weedy check removed 60.5 kg N, 14.8 kg P and 58.9 kg K ha-1 depriving thereby the wheat crop for that much amount of nutrients. Pinoxaden fb MSM (40 fb 4 g ha-1) increased NPK uptake by wheat to 88.5, 19.2 and 49.6 kg/ha from 47.5, 9.1 and 29.2 kg/ha, respectively, that under weedy check.Keywords

To evaluate the effect of potassium, zinc and boron on wheat productivity, the present investigation was undertaken at the experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. The experiment comprised of sixteen treatments with four levels of K (0,50,100 andl50% of recommended dose), two levels of Zn (0 and 101^ ha ‘) and two levels of B (0 and 1 kg ha-1) in factorial randomized block design. Application of K @ 50,100 and 150 % of recommended dose increased plant height, dry matter accumulation, total and effective tillers per metre row length, grains per ear and test weight significantly. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) and B (1 kg ha-1) influenced the growth and yield attributes of wheat significantly. Highest grain (42.52q ha ‘) and straw (66.80q ha ‘) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 % of recommended dose of potassium. Application of 150 % of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 44 and 47 % over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 11 and 10 % over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 %, respectively.Keywords

Highest grain (42.52q ha-1) and straw (66.80 q ha-1) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 per cent of recommended dose of wheat. Application of 150 per cent of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 43.7 and 46.9 per cent over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 10.9 and 9.8 per cent over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 per cent, respectively. Application of K increased K, Zn and B contents significantly at maximum tillering and harvesting. Application of Zn increased Zn and B contents significantly at both the stages. However, B increased the contents of Zn and B only at maximum tillering stage and at harvesting (grain and straw). Almost similar effects of K, Zn and B application on total nutrient uptake were observed. Application of Zn increased partial factor productivity, physiological efficiency, agronomic efficiency and apparent recovery. Boron application increased partial factor productivity and apparent recovery only.Keywords

Field experiments were conducted at Organic Farm Holta of Department of Organic Agriculture and Natural Farming, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during kharif and rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20 on silty clay loam soil to study the performance of different quality traits under different farming practices in legume-based cropping systems. The experiment was laid out under Split Plot Design with three replications comprising of three sequences in legume – vegetable based cropping system i.e., “soybean – onion”, “okra – peas” and “mash – garlic” under different farming practices i.e., Organic farming, Natural farming, Inorganic and Integrated farming practices.Comparing different farming practices, highest protein content (39.1%) was observed in crops under organic farming practices followed by zero budget natural farming practices (38.3%). Significantly higher protein yield of these crops was also recorded under organic farming practices (449 kg/ha) followed by integrated farming practices (405 kg/ha).Carbohydrate yield (1127 kg/ha) and fat yield (120 kg/ha) of crops were significantly highest in integrated farming practices and inorganic farming practices respectively. “Soybean-onion” cropping system produced significantly highest protein yield (644 kg/ha) and fat yield (300.7 kg/ha) as compared to other cropping systems. However, higher protein content and low carbohydrate and fat were recorded in this system when grown under organic farming practices and was found to be the best amongst all cropping systems and farming practices combinations.Keywords

Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2019 and 2020 at Holta Zero Budget Natural Farm (ZBNF), Department of Organic Agriculture and Natural Farming, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur to evaluate the comparative efficacy of different components of natural farming on crop production and economics of black gram. The results revealed that yield attributes and yield (seed and straw) of black gram increased significantly with application of natural farming components in totality. Application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T7) significantly increased the seed yield of black gram over T8 (absolute control) by 61.4 and 233.1 per cent during 2019 and 2020, respectively and application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit (T4) recorded significantly higher net returns of Rs. 49265 ha-1 statistically at par with ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T4) in 2019. However, in 2020, application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T7) recorded higher net returns of Rs. 64206 ha over other treatments.Keywords

The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of sowing time and nutrient management on performance of new genotype of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. Cosson) at experimental farm of Department of Agronomy, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during Rabi 2019-2020. Soil of the experimental site was silty clay loam in texture, acidic in reaction, medium in organic carbon, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with two factors replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of six nutrient management practices viz., Inorganic (RDF), Organic farming, Natural farming, Natural farming + 5 t FYM/ha, Natural farming + 7.5 t FYM/ha and Natural farming + 10 t FYM/ha and two dates of sowing (11th October and 26th October). Results revealed that early sown mustard crop produced significantly taller plants and other growth and development parameters viz., dry matter accumulation, emergence count, days to 50% flowering and days to physiological maturity. Seed yield, stover yield and biological yield were also high in case of early sown crop than late sown crop. Among nutrient management practices, application of recommended dose of fertilizers remained superior in terms of plant height, dry matter accumulation, emergence count, days to 50% flowering, days taken to physiological maturity, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield.Keywords
