Bhandara under Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, India during the Kharif season of 2022. \u0000Methodology: The experimental material comprised 64 rice genotypes along with the regional check Sakoli-6. Observations were recorded on the following traits: days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of panicles per square meter (panicles/m²), and grain yield (kg/ha). Data were analyzed for genetic coefficient of variation (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), heritability, genetic advance, correlation, and path analysis to determine the direct and indirect effects of these traits on grain yield in early transplanted condition. \u0000Results: High GCV and PCV were observed for grain yield, with moderate values for the number of panicles/m², indicating significant variability conducive to improvement. Grain yield, number of panicles/m², and plant height exhibited high heritability and genetic advance. Whereas, correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between the number of panicles/m² and grain yield, and significant negative correlations between days to 50% flowering and days to maturity with grain yield. Path analysis indicated that days to 50% flowering, followed by the number of panicles/m² and plant height, had the highest positive direct effects on grain yield. \u0000Conclusion: The study identified the number of panicles/m² as a critical trait for selecting superior genotypes. Based on these findings, the rice genotypes RP 6496-JB 202-4-6-1-1-1-1, OR 2800-4, and KNM 13557 were recommended for further breeding programs under early transplanted conditions.","PeriodicalId":507605,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273370","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}

In 2022-23, heat stress caused by a spike in temperatures in mid-March 2022 reduced India's wheat crop yields by 10-15%. This lowered the country's forecasted wheat production from 110 million metric tons (MMT) to 99 MMT for the 2022/23 market year (April-March) (USDA, 2023). The adverse effects of climate change and abiotic stresses on agriculture and crop productivity are well-established, with rising temperatures identified as a significant factor in the decline of plant growth and yield. In light of this, this review aims to delve into the intricate relationship between BRs and wheat's response to high-temperature stress. Given that global mean surface temperatures have already increased and are projected to continue rising throughout the 21st century, it is imperative to explore innovative strategies to mitigate the detrimental impacts on crop productivity. To this end, the study seeks to enhance our understanding of how BRs influence the growth and yield of wheat when exposed to high-temperature stress conditions. The overarching goal is to develop effective strategies that can bolster the resilience and productivity of wheat, which is a cornerstone staple crop worldwide, facing the escalating challenge of climate change. This review builds on the existing body of knowledge, synthesizing current research findings and shedding light on the potential of BRs as a key player in ameliorating the consequences of climate change in agriculture.","PeriodicalId":507605,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273244","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 soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, medium in organic carbon, available N and available P2O5, acidic in reaction and low in available K2O.

Seed cost and sowing are stated to be the most expensive operations which combined are responsible for about 45% of the entire cost of groundnut cultivation. The seed cost is increased mainly by the operation of shelling, which raises it to 3 times. The objective of this research was to test the viability of sowing groundnut with pods after proper seed treatment to reduce the shelling cost. Treatments include four spacing and three nutrient levels. It was sown in the spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm, 20 cm × 20 cm, 25 cm × 15 cm, and 30 cm × 15 cm. The different nutrient levels followed were the soil-based recommendation approach, 100% Recommended dose of fertilizers (25: 50: 75 N, P2O5, K2O kg ha-1) and, 125% Recommended dose of fertilizers (31.25: 62.5: 93.75 N, P2O5, K2O kg ha-1). Groundnut response was evaluated based on dry matter production, number of pods per plant, hundred pod weight, pod yield, haulm yield, harvest index and B: C ratio. The combination of 30 cm × 15 cm spacing, and 125% recommended dose of fertilizers (S4N3) documented the highest double pods per plant, hundred pod weight, highest pod yield of 3791 kg ha-1 and benefit-cost ratio of 2.89.

Soil fertility maps were prepared for each parameter under GIS environment using Arc-GIS v 10.8.2. The soils in study area were slightly acidic to slightly alkaline in reaction (6.16 - 8.34), non saline in nature (0.14 to 1.00 dS m–1) and low to high (0.12 - 1.14%) in organic carbon (OC%) content.
