Effects of Nitrogen Application on Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropical Zone of India
Sweet sorghum is a multipurpose crop that has great potential as a bioethanol crop. To make an appreciable
profit from cultivating sweet sorghum in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), such agronomic practices
as nutrient management ...
Crop Dominance Mapping with IRS-P6 and MODIS 250-m Time Series Data
This paper describes an approach to accurately separate out and quantify crop dominance areas in the major command area in the Krishna River Basin. Classification was performed using IRS-P6 (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, ...
Diversification of rice (Oryza sativa L.) based cropping systems for higher productivity, resource-use efficiency and economic returns in South Gujarat of India
Continuous adoption of rice-rice cropping system has led to deterioration of soil quality
resulting in a serious threat to its sustainability in high rainfall zone of South Gujarat, India.
Therefore crop diversification ...
CALIBRATING CHLOROPHYLL METER (SPAD-502) READING BY SPECIFIC LEAF AREA FOR ESTIMATING LEAF NITROGEN CONCENTRATION IN SWEET SORGHUM
The chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502) is used to estimate nitrogen status of various crops. However,
the relationship between SPAD readings and leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) in sweet sorghum
(Sorghum bicolor) has not been ...
Soil Testing as a Tool for On-Farm Fertility Management: Experience from the Semi-arid Zone of India
Rainfed agriculture in the dry regions is affected by water shortages. Our earlier
research showed that the deficiencies not only of major nutrients but also those of sulfur
(S) and micronutrients are holding back the ...
