A field experiment was conducted during 2005-2007 in lateritic soil (with pH 5.2 and organic carbon 0.42%) under rain fed condition of Nayagram block, West Midnapur, West Bengal, India to develop a sustainable organic farming management practice along with the effective uses of mulches and its impact on the yield attributes and quality of leaf in mulberry. The objective was to assess the influence of mulch materials especially sunn hemp (<em>Crotalaria juncea</em> L<em>.</em>) and combined application of organics and biofertilizers (<em>Azotobacter chroococcum</em>) in regulating soil moisture and major nutrients to enhance the production and quality of mulberry leaves under water stress condition. Analysis of three crop data revealed that that the poultry manure in combination with biofertilizer and the reduced doses of inorganic fertilizers applied in mulch plots have a significant effect on growth, leaf yield and quality of mulberry plants. However, the effect of using recommended rate of inorganic fertilizers was the same as that of using 50% of the recommended rate of inorganic nitrogen and 60% of the recommended rate of phosphorus.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100063,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia","volume":"11 ","pages":"Pages 31-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.aaspro.2016.12.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76993279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to disseminate a new approach to increasing agricultural production, especially food production trough Farmer Entrepreneurship. There are three empirical studies to prove that farmer entrepreneurship as new method can increase to food production. All the study was conducted on rice farming. This research used Structural Equation Model as method to analysis data and model. Based on all the results of research shown that farmer entrepreneurship has a positive effect on rice production. Based on the results, so farmer's entrepreneurship can be used as a new approach in supporting agricultural development programs to go self-sufficient food.
