In the.present situation, crops which may provide palatable fodder for cattle as well as protein rich grains for human consumption may be considered the best. Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) is one such crop, which provides good quality fodder and pulse grains.- Characterization of Farming System in South Gujarat Agro Climatic Zone of Gujarat

Several Integrated Farming Systems were observed under rain fed as well as irrigated situation in Bharuch and Surat districts of South Gujarat through survey conducted in 144 households through multistage random sampling technique. The study was pertaining the data of the year 2009- 10. Besides this, number of constraints were seen which were faced by the farmers to carry out the systems. The highest per cent of peoples are engaged in sugarcane based farming system with recording 40.28 per cent whereas, lowest in live stock based with having only 1.39 per cent.Keywords

India produces 70 per cent of global spice production (105100 MT of total production in 2010). In Gujarat state, cumin is grown mostly in the northern district of the state i.e. Mehsana, Banaskantha and Patan district. Cumin was grown under 2,16,000 hectares in Gujarat state, out of this 39897 hectare was contributed by Banaskantha district during the year 2011-12. The aimed of this study was to analyze the cultivation/production cost of cumin and to find return over cost. The study is based on data collected from 108 farmers selected from six villages selected purposively and one regulated market i.e., Tharad of Banaskantha district of Gujarat state. It was calculated that the average total cost of cultivation of cumin was 48905/- Rs. per hectare and net income of cumin was 39852/- Rs. per hectare for the year 2012-2013. The cost of cultivation of cumin for small farmers was higher as compared to medium and large size farmers. Major inputs cost was small farmers contributed 33.09 per cent to total cost of cultivation which was 8.60, 20.34 and 4.15 per cent, for seed, human labour and fertilizer, respectively. The cost of cultivation (cost C2) for small size group of farmers was estimated 55592 Rs. /ha.Keywords

A field experiment on effect of integrated nitrogen management on growth, flowering and flower yield of gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella Foug) cv. LORENZIANA under middle Gujarat conditions was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2009–10. The treatments comprised of organic fertilizers, biofertilizer and three level of nitrogen (100, 75 and 50 kg N/ha) including control 100 kg N/ha + FYM 10 t/ha were tried in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that application of 75 kg N/ha + vermicompost 3.75 t/ha produced significantly maximum plant height (73.33 cm), number of branches per plant (36.98) and plant spread (72.68 cm in north - south direction and 68.59 cm in east - west direction). Same treatment recorded significantly minimum days for first flower initiation, 50 per cent flowering, maximum number of flowers per plant, maximum flower diameter as well as weight of individual flower. Significantly maximum flower yield per plant and hectare were recorded in the same treatment. The treatment of 50 kg N/ha + FYM 20 t/ha obtained maximum shelf-life of flower (1.80 days) as compared to control.

Potting: Potting refer to transferring of plants from seedbed and planting them in pots containing soil mixture.Select a well-burnt pot giving metallic sound. Place a large crock to a 3-5 cm sized depending upon the size of pot. This forms the drainage layer. Finally, the crocks are covered with a 1.25 to 2.5 cm. layer of coarse sand or dried leaves about 6 cm. thick to prevent washing away of fine soil to the drainage hole or clogging it. Then fill the pot firmly with soil mixture leaving a 1.5 cm. of space is left on the top for holding water. The pot filled as above can be used for sowing seeds, potting of plants or planting cuttings.
