In India, where over 60% of agricultural land relies on rainfall, erratic weather patterns like delayed monsoon onset and early cessation worsen moisture stress, particularly in rainfed areas. Addressing this challenge requires the adoption of efficient soil-moisture conservation practices that enhance water retention and sustain crop productivity. This study explores the impact of Pusa hydrogel and foliar nutrient sprays on improving soybean productivity under rainfed conditions. The study evaluated the three levels of Pusa hydrogel and five levels of foliar nutrient spray. With the application of Pusa hydrogel, the results indicated a significant improvement in crop growth and yield. The application of Pusa hydrogel at 5.0 kg ha-1 recorded significantly higher plant height (115.4 cm), dry matter (55 q ha-1) and LAI at 90 DAS (6.93) followed by application of Pusa hydrogel 2.5 kg ha -1. A similar trend was observed in the yield attributes and yield with significantly higher number of pods plant-1 (22.11), number of seeds pod-1 (2.22), number of seeds plant-1 (46.7) seed yield (22.67 q ha-1) and stover yield (42.28 q ha-1) recorded under the application of Pusa hydrogel at 5.0 kg ha-1 followed by application of Pusa hydrogel 2.5 kg ha-1. Among foliar nutrient sprays, application of thiourea (500 ppm) led to significantly higher plant height (120.9 cm), dry matter accumulation (59.9 q/ha) and LAI at 90 DAS (7.61) followed by application by vermiwash (1:10). Significantly higher seed yield of 24.68 q ha-1 was observed with the application of thiourea (500 ppm) followed by vermiwash (1:10) whereas higher stover yield of 43.05 q ha-1 was observed with the application of vermiwash (1:10) which was at par with thiourea. Using Pusa hydrogel at 5.0 kg ha-1 with thiourea (500 ppm) or vermiwash (1:10) considerably improves soybean growth and yield in rainfed settings. These findings show that hydrogel and foliar nutrition sprays can reduce water stress and boost agricultural yield in water-scarce areas. These interventions should be tested in long-term field experiments to determine their sustainability, farmer profitability, and application to other crops and agro-climatic zones. Exploring hydrogel's environmental impact and modifying foliar spray compositions could improve these methods for widespread implementation. Such innovations will help address global food security issues in shifting climates.","PeriodicalId":20217,"journal":{"name":"Plant Archives","volume":"26 1","pages":"1605-1612"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.51470/plantarchives.2026.v26.supplement-1.215","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892025","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}

This study explores the cultivation practices adopted by farmers in Jammu and Kathua districts, focusing on their adherence to recommended guidelines. These districts are key fodder-producing areas in the subtropical region of Jammu. Using a descriptive research design, the study employed purposive and multi-stage random sampling to select 160 respondents from 16 villages across four zones. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview schedule, developed using the SKUAST-Jammu package of practices and expert consultation. The results indicate low adoption rates of recommended fodder cultivation practices with noticeable differences between irrigated and unirrigated zones. Factors contributing to this include farmers prioritizing cereal crops over fodder, insufficient knowledge of best practices and seasonal shortages of green fodder. Statistical tools, including t-tests and z-tests, revealed significant disparities in adoption levels across zones. The findings emphasize the importance of targeted extension services to raise awareness and encourage the adoption of recommended practices. Aligning recommendations with farmers’ existing practices and implementing tailored interventions are crucial for overcoming fodder shortages and enhancing productivity in the region.","PeriodicalId":20217,"journal":{"name":"Plant Archives","volume":"25 2","pages":"1016-1020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.51470/plantarchives.2025.v25.no.2.144","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147903734","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}

Maize hybrid seeds were sown in the plot size of 10 x10 m2 spaced at 60 x 20 cm between rows and plants. To analyze the adult populations, pheromone traps were installed in the field at a height higher than maize crop and replacement interval was 15 days. The weekly trap catches of fall armyworm adults were recorded to find out the adult mean population. The required weekly data on different weather parameters viz. maximum and minimum temperature, morning and evening relative humidity, rainfall, rainy days, and sunshine hours for both years of experimentation (2021 and 2022) were obtained from the section of Agro-Meteorology, SKUASTJammu and then weekly mean data of FAW population was correlated with weather parameters accordingly for simple correlation and linear regression studies. The results of study revealed that the population dynamics analysis indicated the emergence of adult fall armyworm starting from the 18th standard meteorological week (SMW), with first peak trap catches occurring in the 24th SMW during both years, followed by a second peak in 28th and 27th SMW during 2021 and 2022, respectively after which the population declined till 31st SMW.
