There has been a significant increase in the demand of groundwater for agriculture, domestic and industrial uses. This has caused over exploitation of groundwater in some areas causing excessive lowering of water levels, sea water intrusion in coastal aquifers and upcoming of saline water in inland areas. To overcome from these problems the ground water draft pattern has been studied in the Patapur micro-watershed, which is located in Raichur district [semi-arid region].In the micro-watershed the main source of irrigation has been supplied from the tube wells. The necessary data[discharge of the tube well (lit/s), irrigation period (hr), irrigation interval (days), number of irrigation, crop details, soil types etc]required for the groundwater investigation was collected from the owners of the tube wells. Parallelly, the groundwater fluctuations during pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon for 2013-2014 were also measured [3-4 m during the month of June and July]. The total groundwater draft during the investigation period was 228,858.50 m3. From the study it was concluded that,t he micro-watershed prevailed with semi arid agro climatic condition needs groundwater protection to set sustained yield of rain fed crop intermittently.

A field experiment was conducted during 2005-06 to 2006-07 at Varanasi to find out the effect of three residue management practices viz. R1 (Residue Removal), R2 (Residue Retention alone), R3 (Residue Retention with Trichoderma) and four weed management treatments viz. W1 (Control), W2 (Hand weeding at 30 & 45 DAS), W3 (Isoproturon +2,4-D (1.0+0.5 ha-1 at 30 DAS), W4 (Fenoxaprop 120 g a.i. ha-1 fb Metsulfuron 4g a.i. ha-1) on weeds and productivity of zero-till wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend Fiori & Poal) in rice-wheat cropping system during the winter (rabi) season. Weeds in weedy check caused 20.32 and 25.82% reduction in grain yield of wheat, respectively. Wheat grown under rice wheat cropping system with residue retention with Trichoderma application produced 6.8 and 8.2 % higher grain and 7.3 and 6.2 % straw yield over residue retention alone.

Spawn is an essential component of mushroom production and it has a big effect on the sporophores production. During the mushroom session, production of quality spawn in minimum days and availability for planting beds of mushroom is a big challenge for mushroom growers. The present study was conducted with the aim to find out the most favorable sugar for the improvement of spawn quality and production in minimum days and its effect on yield and growth of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor). In the present Studyfive different sugars viz. Dextrose, Maltose, Starch, Sucrose and Glucose were mixed as a supplement with wheat grain for spawn production and effects of its spawn on the yield of sporophores and growth of Pleurotus djamor were also observed. The results obtained during the present investigation, in the spawn production maximum mycelial growth (98.00 mm) was found in glucose on 20th days and the mycelium was thick then others while in case of sporophores production maximum yield (613.33g/Kg of dry substrate with 61.33% B.E.) and minimum days for first harvesting (23.00 days) were observed in glucose spawn. Based on the results obtained, for production of Pleurotus djamor spawn and sporophores yield, glucose would be recommended most effective sugar for spawn and sporophores production useas supplement in Wheat grain.

The present study aimed to examine the growth and instability in area, production, productivity and export of groundnut from India as well as export competitiveness of different importing countries for groundnut. It is based on secondary data, which confined for the period 2004-05 to 2013-14. The results of the study revealed that the negative growth rate in area under groundnut was found at national level while production and productivity registered non significant positive growth rate whereas export registered a positive and significant growth rate. The instability in export as well as in area, production and productivity at country level were low. The Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPCs) indicated that groundnut was found to be moderately competitive during the whole study period to all importing countries except Pakistan to which it was less competitive. Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand and Ukraine served as the major importers of groundnut from India.

India holds the forth position in the world in producing Papaya (56, 39,000 metric tons in 2014). The production has lowers not increased in proportion in the area because of severe infection of PRSV which causes 60 to 100 present losses in the field. Which is responsible for not only reduced in production also quality of fruit is deteriorated and market value has been lowered. The export of papaya and its related products has been stopped because of PRSV infection. So, the present investigation was carried out to confirm presence of virus in infected sample without any advanced technology and skilled techniques with short period of time. There are ample of techniques were developed still but they are supported with sophisticated instrumentation and costly chemicals and these are having hazardous effect on workers. So in these work the presence of virus was tested by using indicator plant i.e. live plant samples of summer squash. Zucchini (summer squash) which is indicator plant of PRSV used for the bio-assay. After infection of virus to the four leaf seedlings it was found that after manual infection in controlled house inoculated plants shows symptoms like dark green spots accumulated on leaf surface after one week. In this way within a week, we can confirm presence of virus in a seedling material which is major carrier of PRSV from nursery to field.
