Under Changing Climatic Condition in Scarcity Zone of Maharashtra.” to find out most optimum meteorological week for sowing sorghum in rabi season, to study the relationship between meteorological parameters and yield by using four different sowing windows. The results were obtained from the experiment; it was found that rabi sorghum sown at MW 40 (01-07 Oct) produced maximum pooled grain yield (808.28 kg ha-1), fodder (1494.11 kg ha-1) and total monetary returns (Rs. 26633 ha-1).

The meteorological studies showed that the mean CUM and MUE recorded by sorghum crop was 240 mm and 2.7 kg ha-1 mm. The highest CUM was recorded by S1 sown crop (282 mm) however the MUE was recorded by S3 sown crop (3.5 kg ha-1 mm). This indicated that S3 sown crop (Chitra Nakshtras) utilized moisture more efficiently than other dates of sowing. Among the variety M-35-1 recorded maximum mean CUM (266 mm) and MUE (3.1 kg ha-1 mm) than other varieties. The number of days required to attain physiological maturity and growing degree days were higher in S3 sown crop. Among the varieties it is higher in M 35-1 than Mauli and Yashoda.

Runoff is the total surface flow from a given drainage area. Rainfall duration, intensity and aerial distribution influence the rate and volume of runoff. Watershed characteristics such as slope, shape and size, cover of soil and duration of rainfall have a direct effect on the peak flow and volume of runoff from any area (Chandler and Walker, 1998). Rainfall and runoff are significant constitute the sources of water for recharge of ground water in the watershed. Estimation of runoff in a watershed is very important to manage the water resources efficiently. Most of the part of the Marathwada region is comes under assured rainfall zone. The region receives mean annual rainfall of 880 mm. Rainfall in uncertain and erratic in this region and sometimes suffers from severe droughts. The rainfall data for Aurangabad, Parbhani and Nanded stations were collected from the Agro-meteorological station under VNMKV, Parbhani. Runoff was estimated using SCS curve number method considering the all parameters like soil type, vegetation etc. The rainfall runoff relationship was worked out for further planning of small water harvesting structures like farm ponds. The runoff potential for Aurangabad, Parbhani and Nanded station is found to be 20.07 %, 28.31 % and 31.69 % respectively, indicating a good scope for rainwater harvesting and thereby, many more rainwater harvesting structures can be constructed based on site specific conditions. A relation between rainfall and runoff for Aurangabad, Parbhani and Nanded stations were worked out as Y = 0.301X - 55.711 ( R2 value - 0.75), Y = 0.4043X - 88.882 (R2 value - 0.8687) and Y = 0.6018X - 209.2 (R2 value -0.9575) respectively. The linear rainfall-runoff relation obtained can be used for finding out runoff corresponding to any rainfall occurring in the area. The rainfall runoff relationship will be useful for determination of rainwater harvesting potential and its reuse for enhancing production potential of various rainfed crops.","PeriodicalId":418512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture Research and Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133013775","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}

Although a lot of appreciable work has been done to produce high yielding and nutrient-rich strains of panoply of food and fiber crops, the pace of breeding superior varieties is yet to match the demand for the same. The duration of the seed-to-seed cycle, which is 10-12 years in case of conventional approaches, is one of the crucial bottlenecks in the progress of modern plant breeding ventures. The concept of Speed Breeding serves as a saviour here by drastically reducing the time required for cultivar development, release and commercialization to nearly half. It is a suite of techniques that involves the manipulation of environmental conditions under which crops are grown, aiming to accelerate flowering & seed set and advance to the next breeding generation as quickly as possible. It encompasses manipulation of day/night temperature, available light spectrum & intensity, photoperiod duration, soil moisture, use of PGRs, adjusting CO2 & O2 levels in air and high-density plantings in order to reduce time to floral initiation, hasten embryo development and seed maturity. Recent research has shown the power of combining emerging techniques, such as gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9, high-throughput phenotyping and genotyping, genomic selection, and MAS, with SB for boosting genetic gain. There are few key challenges limiting the deployment of speed breeding techniques in developing countries, including the high costs of infrastructure, required expertise & skill set and continuous financial support for research and development to maintain this as a sustainable operation. However, the existing constraints can be resolved by further optimization of the SB protocols for critical food crops and their efficient integration in plant breeding pipelines. Collaborative international research endeavours involving multi-disciplinary teams are needed to encourage the integration of SB systems in basic and applied research. Nonetheless the technique of Speed breeding will come out as the next breakthrough of the century and become the part and parcel of modern breeding manoeuvres.","PeriodicalId":418512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture Research and Technology","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131707310","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}

The productivity of these crops particularly in Marathwada region is uncertain due to occurrence of frequent dryspells. Occurrence of 3 to 4 dryspells in July to September is a common feature of the region. The productivity of all crops decreases with either deficiency of rainfall and its distribution or due to moisture stress in critical growth period due to dryspells occurred in July and August.
