Abstract:
Chillies, though classified as a minor crop under condiments and spices, form one of the most valuable crops in the Madras Presidency as it is a daily necessity with both the rich and poor alike. The crop with its wide-spread cultivation and the varied uses in an Indian house-hold leads one to think that it is in- digenous, but on the other hand it is an introduced one having its home in South America. It is cultivated as an irrigated crop in the south and as a rain-fed crop in the north of the presidency. Guntur is one of the important chilli centres in the Circars. The present article is mainly confined to the cultivation of the chilli-crop in the Guntur District.Keywords:

The main focus of the study was to identify the Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) in crop cultivation and to examine the extent to which the farmers were using the identified ITK. The study also explored the relationships between farmers' selected characteristics and their extent of use of the identified ITK. Data were collected from 108 crop growers from three selected villages of Dumuria Upazila, Khulna District, Bangladesh, during December 2003. Only 1.85% of the farmers were high users, 13.89% moderate users, 47.22% low users and 37.04% are very low users of ITK. The family size and farm size were negatively related to their extent of use of ITK and the remaining characteristics did not have any significant relationship with the extent of use of ITK in crop cultivation.

Context Rainfed crop-growing environments are known for their high yield variability, especially in the subtropics and tropics. Improving the resilience of crops to such environments could be enhanced with breeding and agronomy research focusing on groups of similar environments. Aim This study presents a framework for developing these groups using the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM, ver. 7.10) model. Methods As a case study, the framework was applied for pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) as a potential new pulse crop for the Australian northern grains region. The model was first validated and then used to simulate yield, compute heat and drought stress events and analyse their frequencies for 45 locations over 62 seasons from 1960 to 2021. Key results The model performed satisfactorily compared to field trial data for several sowing dates and locations. The simulated yield varied greatly across locations and seasons, with heat-stress events (maximum temperature ≥35°C) and rainfall showing highly significant associations with this variability. The study identified seven groups of locations after converting the simulated yield into percentiles, followed by clustering. Drought-and-heat stress patterns varied across these groups but less so within each group. Yield percentiles significantly declined over the seasons in three of the seven groups, likely due to changing climate. Conclusions The framework helped identify pigeonpea’s key production agroecological regions and the drought and heat constraints within each region. Implications The framework can be applied to other crops and regions to determine environmental similarity.

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. According to the Second Advance Estimates of National Income, 2022-23 published by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the share of Gross Value Added (GVA) of agriculture and allied sectors is 18.30 percent. Two-thirds of the total population of India is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood. Agriculture provides food and employment to the masses, green fodder for domestic animals, green manure for crops, and raw materials for agro-based industries. Therefore, the most crucial factor for improved agricultural output is a methodological, scientific, and appropriate cropping pattern as well as crop combinations. In this paper, an attempt has been made to show the changing scenarios of crop combination, crop concentration, and crop diversification regions in Koch Bihar district based on six principal crops such as aman paddy, boro paddy, wheat, jute, mustard and potato. The entire study is based on two latest agricultural data (2010-11 & 2012-13) of Koch Bihar district. Here, J.C Weaver's method (1954), Bhatia's location quotient method (1965), and Gibbs & Martin's Techniques (1962) have been used for the delineation of crop combination, concentration and diversification regions. Study revealed that among the six principal crops of the district, Rice (aman) and jute have the highest concentration and are cultivated in every blocks. This might occur as a result of the favorable climate and significant alluvial deposits found throughout the district.

BACKGROUND: Unintentional residual pesticide in soil derived from preceding crops and the transfer to succeeding crops was considered a critical barrier for positive list system (PLS).Thus, an uncertain risk is predicted for ethoprophos applied at cultivation of preceding crop (Korean cabbage) to succeeding crop (spinach).METHODS AND RESULTS: Ethoprophos was treated on soil following the recommended dose and 5 times dose according to the safe use guidelines for Korean cabbage after seeding.On the 4 days after harvesting of preceding crop, spinach was sowed.The initial residual amounts of ethoprophos on soil (7.081-19.493mg/kg) were decreased to 3.832-7.218mg/kg until the harvest of Korean cabbage, and then finally decreased to 0.011-0.079mg/kg after spinach cultivation.The uptake rates of ethoprophos from soil by Korean cabbage were 0.01-0.03%and distributed to root (0.150-0.903 mg/kg) and shoot (0.021-0.151 mg/kg), respectively.The residual amounts of uptake and trans-location from preceding crop cultivated soil to spinach edible part were found to be below LOQ.CONCLUSION: The plant back internal (PBI) for ethoprophos is not recommended during sequential cultivation of leafy vegetables, since the residual amounts of ethoprophos in spinach were less than MRL (0.02 mg/kg).

The information about the promising introductions made during the year 2004 for various biotic, abiotic stresses including value added traits has been presented in this paper. A total of 28,437 accessions of germplasm in 89 crops were introduced from 51 countries/International Agricultural Research Institutes and supplied to various user scientists in country for their further utilization in various crop improvement programmes.
