However, due to the lack of financing from the banking sector, farmers and agriculturists have a lot of difficulties in their farming activities. This is where the Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), the cooperative sector’s lowest tier institution, comes into play. The current study uses secondary data to examine the overall performance of PACS in West Bengal between 2002-03 and 2018-19. To examine and better comprehend the data and interpretations, various statistical tools and techniques such as percentage analysis, compound annual growth rate, and tri-year average are utilized. The findings show that the number of viable PACS was declined dramatically during the reference period, and the PACS’ performance was also deteriorated. Overdue accounts, a lack of resources, an indifferent management system, a lack of effort to mobilize deposits, and unskilled employees are only a few of PACS’s key problems. As a result, executives must take responsibility for debt collection. The board of directors, as well as the members, should participate more actively in general body meetings and assist PACS in its operation. Executives must be more honest in their commercial dealings so that all members of society are informed of what is going on.","PeriodicalId":15551,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crop and Weed","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88122797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, a paradigm shift toward conservation agriculture (CA) is urgently required. Lentil is one of the major pulse crops in West Bengal and its incorporation into the cropping system through CA will ensure soil health and production sustainability. The goal of this study was to find the dynamics of soil-borne disease development on two lentil cultivars in three different tillage systems (conventional tillage, reduced tillage and zero tillage) with five different doses of fertilizer and organic residue treatments: T 1 = (0% Residue + 100% NPK), T 2 = (0% Residue + 50% NPK), T 3 =(100% Residue + 75% NPK), T 4 =(50% Residue + 100% NPK) & T 5 =(50% Residue + 75% NPK). Regardless of treatment, it was discovered that among the three different tillage practices, zero tillage and reduced tillage had the lowest disease incidence (%) and severity (%). Whereas, irrespective of tillage, the lowest disease incidence (%) and severity (%) were observed when residue and NPK were used at (100% +75%) and (50% +100%), respectively, indicating that disease suppression could be achieved through minimal soil disturbance and residue retention. Through correlation and regression analysis it was also found that weekly average of two weather factors viz., maximum and minimum temperatures and bright sunshine hour had the significant effect on both disease incidence and severity. The isolated pathogens from collar rot and wilt infected plants were confirmed as Sclerotium rolfsii & Fusarium oxysporum f.sp . lentis by studying its morphological characteristics.","PeriodicalId":15551,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crop and Weed","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90597633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rice, lentil and gram being major foodgrains crop, are grown extensively in Nadia district of West Bengal. Study on compound growth rate of area, production and productivity reveals that the total foodgrain production has accounted at the rate of 1.24% in spite of deceleration in area at a rate of 1.00% mainly depending on the performance of yield registering a growth of 2.21%. Study on cropping pattern during the period of 2000-01, 2010-11 and 2014-15 indicate that the share of area under total foodgrain in all three period is observed to be below 50% and also the share of total pulse is estimated to be more or less 7%. Study on total retention shows that the lowest size group of farmers have retained minimum amount and gradually increase with the increase in farm size in rice, lentil and gram. The positive retention pattern is also observed in case of seed, feed and others for rice, lentil and gram. Marketed and marketable surplus is estimated in all three crops. The performance of the district in production of food grains is not satisfactory, but the district has made remarkable progress in production of cash crops, particularly high valued fruits and vegetables which is also reflected in the measure of marketable surplus of the crops taken under the study.","PeriodicalId":15551,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crop and Weed","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86481861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
