Article Synopsis
- Limited research exists on tillage and nutrient management for sesame crops grown after rice, despite sesame's high demand for its health benefits as an edible oil.
- Field experiments conducted in Tamil Nadu aimed to assess how different tillage methods and fertilizer doses affect sesame productivity in rice fallow environments.
- Findings revealed that sesame yields were significantly lower under zero tillage, with 75% recommended fertilizer dosage achieving similar results to 100%, and oil content remained unaffected by the management practices.
The study aimed to assess the impact of different combinations of cultivar mixtures on finger millet blast epidemics without affecting yield. The research employed Disease Progress Curves (DPCs) such as AUDPC, rAUDPC, and sAUDPC to evaluate leaf, neck and finger blast epidemics' severity at various time intervals. Treatments involved mixtures of pre-released cultures and commercial varieties, combined with resistant cultivars in ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 to combat blast disease.
