Weed management is one of the tedious operations in crop production. Due to labor costs, time and fully manual weeding is unfavorable. Hence effort is made to design an efficient farm equipment to perform weeding without electric power. The conception and key characteristics of simulation based design and the advantage of using it to design […]
Water is a critical resource for agriculture and among the crops grown in India, rice is a major food grain crop that is widely cultivated throughout the country. Given that rice requires large amounts of irrigation water, it is necessary to adopt cultivation methods that minimize water use and improve water efficiency. This study assesses […]
Crop production systems that require chemical fertilizers, pesticides, machinery for tillage, and irrigation water, being input-intensive, present challenges for long-term sustain- ability, especially as climate change creates new constraints. Agricultural practices should be both regenerative to sus- tain their productivity and resilient so as not to succumb to stresses. In countries like India, current production […]
