Dhaincha Intercropping for in-situ Green Manuring in Drum Seeded Rice under Bhadra Command

摘要

IN situ green manuring techniques is one of the important soil enrichment methods usually practiced before or after the harvest of crop in the residual moisture. In rice cultivation also the same system was followed in the command or coastal areas where the adequate moisture available for green manuring crop before or after the harvest of crop. The efforts are being made to develop a advanced techniques for simultaneously growing of in-situ green manuring in drum seeded rice cultivation by sowing inrice cum green manure seeder and later in-situ incorporation between paddy rows through cono-weeder (Rajendran et al., 2002). Inter cropping of drum seeded rice with green manure crop and its in-situ incorporation may helps to meet out a part of nitrogendemand to rice and reduce the quality of chemical N fertilizers to create eco-friendly environment with sustainable higher yields. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to study the "Dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) intercropping for in-situ green manuring in drum seeded rice under Bhadra Command".
