Efficacy of Herbicides against Weeds in Transplanted Wet Season Rice (Oryza Sativa L.)

IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (2017)

T. K. Das Mahua Banerjee Ganesh Chandra Malik Bikas Mandal

Comparative efficacy of different herbicides against weeds in transplanted kharif rice was studied atAgricultural Farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva Bharati,Sriniketan, West Bengal.The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications.The results revealed that the major weed flora associated with the transplanted rice during kharif season was mainly comprised of Echinochloa colona, Cyperus iria L., Sphenoclea zeylanica Gaertn.and Ludwigia parvifloraRoxb.Bispyribac sodium @30 g a.i ha - 1 applied at 25 days after transplanting was most effective to check all types of weed population and their growth.This treatment also gave the maximum grain yield (5549 kg ha -1 ) and straw yield (5991 kgha -1 ) of rice resulting in lowest weed index (5.61%) among chemical herbicide treated plots.The highest grain and straw yield value as observed with application of bispyribac sodium @ 30 g a.i ha -1 was statistically at par with that of bispyribac sodium @ 25 g a.i ha -1 at 25 DAT.Therefore, bispyribac sodium @ 25 g a.i ha -1 applied at 25 days after transplanting may be recommended for weed management in transplanted kharif rice.

The Productivity and Nutrient Use Efficiency of Rice–Rice–Black Gram Cropping Sequence Are Influenced by Location Specific Nutrient Management

Sustainability (2021)

Tanmoy Shankar Mahua Banerjee Ganesh Chandra Malik Sudarshan Dutta Debtanu Maiti

Nutrient management is critical for rice farming because the crop is grown under diverse conditions, and in most cases, the existing nutrient management practices fail to achieve an attainable yield target. During recent years site specific nutrient management gained importance for a target yield with maximum nutrient use efficiency. Sufficient research work has not been carried out in this direction so far in the rice–rice–pulse (black gram) sequential cropping system under the red and lateritic belt of West Bengal, India. A multi-locational field experiment was conducted from July 2013 to June 2015 at three different locations, namely, Guskara (Burdwan district) and Benuriya (Birbhum district) villages in farmers’ fields and at the university farm of Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan, West Bengal, India. The performance of nutrients was tested by providing ample doses of N, P, K, S, and Zn compared to the omission of these nutrients. The growth parameters, such as crop biomass production, leaf area index, and number of tillers, and yield attributes and yield were influenced by nutrient management treatments. Application of 100% of N, P, K, S, and Zn resulted in its superiority to other nutrient management options studied, and a similar trend was also noted with the treatment in the expression of nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and nutrient response (NR). The available N, P, K, S, and Zn contents in soil increased steadily due to the increase in fertilizer application. The study concluded that optimization of NPK in the rice–rice–pulse cropping system on target yield along with need-based S and Zn application was beneficial for higher productivity.

Effect of intercropping lentil (Lens culinaris) and linseed (Linum usitatissimum) under varying plant density and row arrangement on productivity and advantages in system under rainfed upland

Indian Journal of Agronomy (2004)

Ramani Kumar Sarkar Ganesh Chandra Malik Prosenjit Pal

A field experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season (October - February) of 2001–2002 at Baruipur, to assess production potential of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) and linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) in sole cropping, and in intercropping under additive and replacement series. Six intercrop systems were in additive series with 100% lentil + 25% and 50% linseed each in 3 row ratios of 2: 1, 3: 1 and 5: 1 and the remaining 3 in replacement series where 33, 25 and 17% lentil was replaced by linseed in the intercropping row ratios of 2:1, 3:1 and 5:1. Grain yield of lentil and linseed decreased considerably in intercropping, irrespective of their plant density and row arrangement. The extent of reduction was more in additive series than in replacement series and the magnitude of reduction in lentil and linseed was 28 and 24% under additive and 25 and 23% under replacement series respectively. An intercropping of 100% lentil + 25% linseed in 5: 1 row ratio gave as high intercrop lentil yield (1,050 kg/ha) as sole lentil (1,300 kg/ha) with additional yield of linseed (820 kg/ha) and had maximum lentil-equivalent yield (1, 767 kg/ha), net return (Rs 17,632), land-equivalent ratio (1.66), and benefit: cost ratio (2.65), and proved the most productive intercrop stand among all the systems.

Effect of Irrigation, Variety and Nitrogen on Growth and Productivity of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Lateritic Belt of West Bengal

International Journal of Bio-resource and Stress Management (2012)

Ganesh Chandra Malik Wasim Iftikar Mahua Banerjee D. C. Ghosh

A field experiment was conducted at Sriniketan to study the performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties under limited nitrogen and water supply in red and lateritic belt of West Bengal. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with irrigation levels (no irrigation and three irrigations at Crown root initiation stage (CRI), heading and soft dough stages) as the main plots and crop varieties (Sonalika and UP 262) and nitrogen levels (50 and 100 kg ha−1) combinations in the sub plots. Results indicated that irrigation had significant influence on dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, no of earheads m−2, number of grains per earhead and test weight of grain that ultimately led to high grain and straw yield and harvest index. Significant response of nitrogen was also obtained on all the growth and yield parameters along with grain and straw yield and harvest index. UP 262 showed higher LAI at heading and greater number of grains per earhead and finally produced higher grain yield and harvest index. Nitrogen level (100 kg ha−1) with three irrigations at CRI, heading and soft dough stages may be followed for obtaining high grain yield of wheat variety UP 262 in lateritic belt of West Bengal.

Oxidation pattern of elemental sulphur as affected by levels of sulphur, organic matter and liming in a typical lateritic soil of West Bengal

Journal of Crop and Weed (2012)

P. C. Patra B. K. Pati Goutam Kumar Ghosh Shreya Mondal Ganesh Chandra Malik

Laboratory investigation was carried out to study the oxidation pattern of elemental sulphur as affected by levels of organic matter and liming in a typical acidic lateritic soil of Dhalla of Birbhum district of West Bengal. Results revealed that liming as well as organic matter favours the oxidation of elemental sulphur. The treatments comprised of three levels of sulphur (0, 50 and 100 mg kg -1 ) as elemental sulphur, three levels of organic matter (0, 5 and 10 tons ha -1 ) and two levels of lime (lime as per lime requirement and no lime) incubated at field capacity for 60 days. Under liming, the rate of oxidation increased with the increase of incubation period irrespective of levels of elemental sulphur and organic matter. It is interesting to note that the treatments that received organic matter along with elemental sulphur under non-limed condition resulted in a temporary crisis of SO 4-S up to 7 days of incubation and thereafter the rate of oxidation was faster with the increase in levels of organic matter and days of incubation. The oxidation of elemental sulphur under limed condition resulted in an increase of pH, although the treatments almost regain to its original pH values prior to completion of incubation period.

Productivity potential and economic feasibility of sesame (Sesamum indicum)-based intercropping system with different planting patterns on rainfed upland

Indian Journal of Agronomy (2003)

Ramani Kumar Sarkar Ganesh Chandra Malik S. Goswami

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 2000 and 2001 to determine productivity and economic feasibility of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)-based intercropping system on Gangetic alluvial rainfed upland. All the intercropping systems registered significant and appreciable increase in total productivity in terms of sesame-equivalent yield over sole sesame. Among different intercropping patterns of sesame with pulse and oilseed crops, paired row planted sesame (30/60 cm) +1 row groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resulted in maximum sesame-equivalent yield (1, 654 kg/ha), net return (Rs 9, 414 kg/ha), land-equivalent ratio (1.59), monetary advantage (Rs 6, 751 kg/ha), and indicated a modest aggressivity index (±0.29) owing to minimum competition between crops. This system, thus, proved most efficient and sustainable on rainfed upland ecosystem.

Correlation Studies on Growth, Yield Parameters and Yield of Maize as Influenced by Conservation Tillage Practices and Site-Specific Nutrient Management in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Environment and Ecology (2024)

Sarath Kumar Duvvada Ganesh Chandra Malik Mahua Banerjee Binoy Kumar Saren

To meet the ever increasing needs of the growing human population ensuring sustainable use of natural resources, maintaining the standards essential for competing in the global market especially in case of major cereals like rice, wheat and maize is a never ending challenge. Keeping this in mind, to increase the productivity of maize by resource conservation techniques with different nutrient management practices, an experiment was laid out at a farmer’s field of Chella, Kamarapara, West Bengal, during pre-kharif season of 2022. The treatments consisted of 2 levels of tillage practices and 7 levels of SSNM treatments. The experimental finding revealed no significant difference between grain and stover yield with different tillage treatments. Whereas significantly higher grain and stover yield `was seen with SSNM through NE, lower grain and stover yield was recorded with control. Correlation studies revealed that plant height, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate, cob girth, cob length, number of grain rows per cob, and number of cobs were highly significant and positively correlated with grain yield.
