This paper gives an overview of the current status of research in Nagaur district the gap between the actual and potential yield and the level of inputs used in production of moth bean. The potential yield with the recommended package of practices was 10.00 qtl./ha of main product and 20.00 qtl./ha of by product. The yield on farmers’ field was merely 4.47 qtl./ha of main product and 8.58 qtl./ha of by product. Preparatory tillage especially in pulses are highly desirable for higher yield. Treatment of seed with Rhizobium culture and vitavex at the rate of 2.5 g./kg seed is a must for pulse crops. Weeds are quite commonly found in moth bean field and it is estimated that they reduce yield by 30 to 50 percent depending upon their intensity. It has been found that farmers were neither using mechanical method nor any chemical method to control the weeds in the moth bean fields. According to package of practices, the recommendations are 600 g./ha Pendimethalline for the weed control, one irrigation to be applied when these is deficiency of rainfall in field and 25.00 tonnes/ha F.Y.M. should be used in the moth bean field. The other recommendations are use of 10.00 kg./ha Chlorophayriphos for plant protection and 15.00 Kg./ha Urea and 20.00 Kg./ha SSP in moth bean for higher yield. The constraints attainment the higher yield is agro-climatic, technological and economic constraints.

The experimental material for the present investigation was comprised of 20 genotypes of okra. These genotypes were sown in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, to estimate the correlation and Path coefficient analysis. Observations were recorded on the basis of five random competitive plants selected from each genotype separately for morphological, phonological, yield and other parameters were evaluated as per standard procedure. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant variance for all the characters. Presence of such variability in the population under study is the ultimate result of variability in the genetic constitution of various individuals. An overall observation of path coefficient analysis of fruit yield per plant revealed that plant height, diameter of fruit, number of branches per plant at 90 DAS, number of seeds per fruit, days taken to 50% flowering, length of internode and number of flowering nodes on main stem played an important role in determining the fruit yield per plant.

A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2011-2012 at Instructional farm, Department of Agronomy, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to evaluate the effect of organic manure on yield attributes, nutrient content and uptake of grain Amaranthus (Amaranthus Paniculatus L.). The Result revealed that Application of Farm yard manure (FYM) @ 6t haˉ1 was found efficient to achieve significant increase grain yield (1701 kg haˉ1) and stover yield (3303 kg haˉ1). Further increase nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium status in grain and stover and uptake by grain amaranthus over the control.

Maize is the third most important cereal crop due to its importance in food, feed, fuel, specially corn, starch etc and acquires an important place in the food grain basket of our country. There is a need of better production technology to reach higher productivity to meet the projected demand in India. LCO (lipo-chitooligosaccharide) Promoter Technology present in Torque is a unique molecule enhances a plant’s nutritional capabilities that ultimately leads to higher yields and better returns at the end of the season when present at the time of planting independently of variety, soil and environmental conditions. So, a field experiment was conducted at Central Research Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal, India during Rabi seasons of 2012-14 to study the effect of bio-product Torque (LCO Promoter Technology) as seed treatment on growth and productivity of corn. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments combining Torque RTA @ 4 ml/2 kg seed, 8 ml/2 kg seed and 12 ml/2 kg seed and time of treatment @15 days before sowing and at the time of sowing, replicated thrice. Results revealed that treated plot performed better than untreated plot. Seed treatment before 15 days of sowing with high dose performed better than those sown immediately after treatment. The yield parameters like cob length, number of cobs plot-1 and cob yield were reflected better with Torque RTA @ 12 ml/2 kg seed treated at 15 days before sowing which ultimately resulted the highest grain yield of 6.83 t ha-1.

A field experiment was conducted at Water Technology Centre, college farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Hyderabad during rabi 2015-16 to study the effect of different irrigation levels i.e., surface irrigation at 0.6 IW/CPE ratio (T1) , 0.8 IW/CPE ratio (T2) , 1.0 IW/CPE ratio (T3), 1.2 IW/CPE ratio (T4), drip irrigation at 0.6 Epan (T5) , drip irrigation at 0.8 Epan (T6) , drip irrigation at1.0 Epan (T7) and drip irrigation at 1.2 Epan (T8) on the water productivity of maize crop in semiarid tropical climate. The results of the study revealed that the water productivity obtained with 0.6 Epan was highest (1.34 kg m-3) with consumption of 3130 m3 of water, while the lowest was observed in surface irrigation scheduled at 1.0 and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio (0.84 and 0.84 kg m-3) which consumed 4670 and 5170 m3 of water, respectively.
