Cropping Systems In The Tropics (Principles And Management)
Author: Sp PalaniappanPublisher: New Age International
ISBN: 9788122406672
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Land And Soil Are Non-Renewable Natural Resources. The Nature Has Taken Thousands Of Years To Create An Inch Of Fertile Soil. Mismanagement Of This Precious Resource Is A Sin Against Nature And Will Play Havoc With The Fortunes Of The Country. Many Parts Of The Country Have Already Come To The Brink Of Devastation Through Injudicious Usages, Over Exploitation Of Natural Resources Resulting In Unsustainable Productivity Of Crops.Modern Concept Of Cropping System Is Based On The Principle Of Effective Utilization Of Soil Water, Nutrients And Light For Sustainable Crop Productivity. This Book Gives The Basic Principles And Broadly Accepted Definitions Terms Frequently Used In The Literature. A Short-Review Of The Cropping Systems Work Done In The Tropics, Particularly In India Is Presented.In This Revised Edition, Contents Of All The Chapters Have Been Revised To Give Orientation Towards Management Of Sustainable Crop Production Systems. A New Chapter On Farming System Is Also Added In Tune With The Latest Trends. Information Available On Perennial Crop-Based Cropping Systems, For Example High Density Multi Species Cropping Systems Involving Coconut And Arecanut Is Updated. The Various Management Aspects Of Sustainable Cropping Systems Are Discussed And The Research Methodology That Could Be Adopted Is Elucidated. Possible Future Lines Of Work Are Given In The Final Chapter.This Book Will Prove To Be Of Immense Value Not Only To The Research Workers But Also To The Teachers And Students And Above All Farmers And Individuals Who Are Desirous Of Improving Sustainable Crop Production Systems.

Book Description
Legume-nonlegume intercrops of corn (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr) were grown on an Aquic Paleudult and on a Typic Umbraquult soil of the Coastal Plain of North Carolina to test the following hypotheses: (a) The yield of understory soybeans is inversely related to canopy height of the overstory nonlegume; (b) effects of the overstory height can be modified by row arrangement; (c) recovery of fertilizer-applied N by the legume component of the intercrop is N-placement dependent. Four levels of nitrogen fertilization and two row arrangements (Alternating single-rows and alternating pairs of rows of the intercrop components) were used in the intercrops. The gradient of canopy height of the nonlegume was established as follows: Corn > "tall" sorghum > "short" sorghum. Labeled N was used at two rates to estimate N recovery from the fertilizer. Nitrogen-fertilizer was placed between legume and nonlegume in the alternating single-row arrangement and within pairedrow of lengume in the paired-row arragement. Interplanted nonlegumes averaged over N rates, yielded the following in relation to their respective monocultures: Paleudult soil--corn 57% (monoculture = 6080 kg/ha), "tall" sorghum 66% (monoculture = 6670 kg/ha), "short" sorghum 56% (monoculture = 5870 kg/ha); Umbraquult soil--corn 88% (monoculture = 6190 kg/ha), "tall" sorghum 66% (monoculture = 6870 kg/ha) and "short" sorghum 56% (monoculture = 6690 kg/ha). Interplanted soybeans yielded 57% of a full crop (...).
