Brief description : Soil application with Fipronil 5% G @ 12.5 kg/ha before sowing and spraying of Spinosad 45% SC @ 500ml/ha twice at 35 and 60 DAS. The method reduces the fruit and shoot borer infestation incidence from 32 to 03 % and increased the yield up to 46 %.
Title of technology A) Assessment of irrigation water management practices in rice cultivation
Brief description Puddling and leveling were done mechanically and cyclic submergence of water was followed in rice fields throughout the crop period. Optimum utilization of water in rice cultivation by adopting proper water management practices enhances the yield up to 18 %.
Title of technology B) Assessment of various crop establishment methods in rice by mechanical transplanter in rice based cropping system
Brief description Mechanized transplanting under puddled, un puddled and no till condition by 4 row walk behind rice transplanter not only saved energy, cost and labour by avoiding puddling operation prior to mechanized transplanting but also improved soil health. The yield recorded in Zero tillage with puddling, Primary tillage with puddling and Primary tillage with unpuddled field was 36.65 q/ha, 36.15 q/ha and 32.5 q/ha, respectively.
