A field experiment was conducted on assessment of yield and economics of vegetables as intercropping system in coconut garden for additional returns at different villages of Tiptur taluk, Tumkur districts of Karnataka during from 2013 to 2015 to study the influence of intercropping system on coconut yield, economics of coconut based intercropping system with vegetables and the soil fertility status of coconut garden. The experiment consisted of three different intercropping systems viz., coconut sole cropping as farmers practice (T1), coconut+vegetable cowpea (T2) and coconut+French bean (T3) with seven replications at farmers field in a 36 year old coconut garden of Tiptur tall variety planted at 9m × 9m spacing. The average three year results of experiments were recorded. The yield of coconut was found to higher nut yield (9594 nuts/ha/year) under french bean as intercrop in coconut garden followed by cowpea as intercrop in coconut garden (9348 nuts/ha/year) during third year. Whereas lowest nut yield was recorded in coconut sole crop in farmers practice. The highest net annual income Rs. 99,720/ha and B:C 3.22 were recorded in coconut+French bean intercropping system with more additional income and market demand of beans followed by coconut+vegetable cowpea (Net annual income Rs. 84,260/ha and B:C 3.10) with less market demand of vegetable cowpea, where as lowest net annual income Rs. 43,107/ha and B:C 2.34 were recorded in coconut sole cropping with no additional income from the farmers practices. The soil fertility status viz., NPK availability in soil were analyzed before and after the experimental period of three year. Gradually increased N, P and K content of soil in coconut intercropping with beans and cowpea on far with each other, but lowest soil fertility were recorded in coconut as sole cropping system in farmers practices due to high biomass of french bean and cowpea, which fixes atmospheric nitrogen, residue incorporated into soil and suppression of weed growth results in improvement of soil fertility status. Higher net returns and improve the soil fertility by growing the french bean as intercrops in coconut garden is more suitable cropping system to boost economy of farmers.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted on quantity and quality of bulbs and bulblets as influenced by spacing in Polianthes tuberosa at farmers field of Tumkur district. The experiment consisted of three different plant spacing viz., 45 cm×30 cm (S1), 30 cm×30 cm (S2) and 30 cm×15 cm (S3) with seven replications at farmers field and Randomized Block Design. The result of three year data showed the significant difference on growth, bulb quality, bulbs and bulblets yield as affected by spacing. The spacing of 30×30 cm was found to be optimum for better growth and recorded significantly highest plant height (53.57 cm) at 180 days after planting, maximum number of leaves per plant (111.78) and side shoots per pant (21.13) at 360 days after planting, which was at par with 45×30 cm spacing. Bulbs and bulblets characters such as maximum number of bulbs per plant (16.80) and bulblets per plant (14.02), size of mother bulb (4.68 cm), daughter bulbs (3.77 cm) and clump weight (455.10 g) were recorded significantly at wider spacing (45×30 cm), whereas lowest was recorded at a closer spacing 30×15 cm due to lesser competition between plants for source of light, moisture, space and nutrient and as consequence showed better physiological activities, which in turn reflected improvement of bulb yield.Keywords

The frontline demonstrations were conducted to study the effect of integrated crop management on yield and economics of green chilli at farmer’s field of Tumkuru district, Karnataka state during the year from 2011-12 to 2013-14. The data revealed that the total yield gap between potential yield and actual yield of green chilli was 47.14 per cent, in which 15.00 per cent of yield gap between demonstration plot and actual farmers plot yield and 32.14 per cent of technological gap. The maximum number of farmers adopted recommended spacing (93.33 %) followed by timely irrigation (90.00 %) and harvesting at right stage (90.00 %). The increased in adoption per cent of package of practices were found to more in use of growth regulator for control of flower drops (50.00 %), recommended spacing (43.33 %) and plant protection measures to control pest and diseases (40.00 %). There was significantly increased the yield of green chilli (28.38 %) after conducted the frontline demonstration programme. The net return and B:C ratio were found to increased in demonstrated plot as compared to farmers practice. The adoption of different package of practices even though after demonstrations programme, which shows positive impact of integrated crop management on yield and economics of green chilli through adoption of demonstrated technology.Keywords

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, herb yield and quality of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) at the farm field of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Konehalli, Tiptur, Tumkuru district under Central dry zone (Zone-4) of Karnataka state during Rabi seasons. The results revealed that the maximum plant height at 30 DAS (43.12 cm), first (85.63 cm), second (86.00 cm), third (92.10 cm), fourth (95.45 cm), fifth (92.30 cm), sixth (88.90 cm) and seventh harvest (86.79 cm) during Rabi season was recorded, when plants were supplied with 50 % RDF + 25 % N through vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM. The least plant height was recorded with the application of 10 t/ha FYM + 100 % N through FYM at 30 DAS and all the harvests. The similar results were recorded the maximum number of branches and leaves per plant with application of the 50 % RDF + 25 % N through vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM. The maximum fresh and dry herb yield per hectarewas recorded at first (178.70 q and 26.30 q), second (213.89 q and 31.44 q), third (217.13 q and 31.94 q), fourth (218.98 q and 33.08 q), fifth (216.20 q and 31.81 q), sixth (208.33 q and 30.65 q) and seventh harvest (200.00 q and 29.40 q), respectively during Rabi season with the application of 50 % RDF + 25 % N through vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM. Whereas, the lowest fresh and dry herb yield per hectare was recorded, when plants supplied with 10 t/ha FYM + 100 % N through FYM at all the harvests. The pants received with 50 % RDF + 25 % N through vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM has resulted maximum nitrogen content of plant at first (1.15 %), second (1.14 %), third (1.15 %), fourth (1.12 %), fifth (1.09 %), sixth (1.06 %) and seventh harvest (1.05 %) during Rabi season, which was at par with the application of 50 % RDF + 25 % N through poultry manure + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM at first and third harvests. The application of 10 t/ha FYM + 100 % N through FYM recorded lowest nitrogen content of plant in at all the harvests. Therefore, 50 % RDF + 25 % N through vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + VAM may be recommended for commercial cultivation of alfalfa during Rabi season under central dry zone of Karnataka.Keywords
