“…The remarkable increase in green forage yield under narrow spacing (line sowing at 30 cm) was mainly due to the fact that it accommodate accommodate more plants per unit area as well as taller plant which ultimately led to produce higher green forage yield per unit area. These results are in accordance with the finding of Kumar et al [23], Raja et al [11], Singh and Singh [24] and Karadeniz et al (2022). Significantly higher green forage yield (27,269 kg/ha) was produced with 50 kg/ha seed rate (E3) and it remained statistically at par with 40 kg/ha seed rate (E2) (26,443 kg/ha).…”

A field experiment on “Response of summer forage cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) to spacing and seed rate” was carried out during summer 2022 on loamy sand soil of Agronomy Instructional Farm, C. P. College of Agriculture, SardarkrushinagarDantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications. The result revealed that significantly the highest plant height was recorded under the line sowing at 30 cm. Higher numbers of branches per plant and leaf area per plant were observed under the line sowing at 45 cm. Cowpea sown at narrow row line sowing at 30 cm produced significantly the highest green forage and dry forage yield. The maximum net realization and benefit cost ratio were recoded under the line sowing at 30 cm. Seed rate of 50 kg/ha recorded significantly higher plant population and plant height. Higher number of branches per plant and leaf area per plant were recorded with seed rate of 30 kg/ha. Higher green forage and dry forage yield were recorded under seed rate of 50 kg/ha. The maximum net realization was accured with the seed rate of 50 kg/ha. The maximum benefit cost ratio was accured with the seed rate of 40 kg/ha.

“…Many short duration varieties of summer mungbean, including SML 668, SML 832, Samrat, Pusa 9531 and Pusa Vishal, have been developed, which can easily fit well in the window period between wheat harvest and transplanting of rice. For obtaining high grain yields of summer mungbean, technologies have been developed with respect to planting methods (Singh and Singh 2010), sowing time Singh 2005b, Singh and, plant density (Singh et al 2007, Singh et al 2011b), nutrient management , Singh et al 2011a) and weed management (Kaur et al 2010(Kaur et al , 2015. Furthermore, at crop maturity, paraquat can be sprayed for drying of foliage for facilitating combine harvesting of mungbean Singh 2005a, Singh et al 2012).…”

India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of world consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world (Anonymous 2016). Pulses accounted around 20% of the area under foodgrains and contribute around 7-10% of the total foodgrains production in the country. Productivity of pulses has improved by 65.07%, from 441 kg/ha in 1950-51 to 728 kg/ha in 2014-15. There is large scope to increase the area and production under pulses by utilizing existing rice fallows by growing chickpea, lentil, pea and khesari (lathyrus) after rice. But major hurdles in the successful cultivation of pulses in rice-fallows are the non-availability of quality seed, irrigation facilities, labour and other input availability. The production potential of pulses can be improved through introduction of short duration, nutrient responsive high yielding varieties and assured supply of quality seed, efficient nutrient management techniques and growth regulators, with supplemental irrigation. Declining factor productivity, depletion of soil fertility and over mining of native nutrient reserves, depletion of groundwater, increasing weed menace, and environmental pollution are major problems of rice-wheat cropping system. Introducing a legume (summer mungbean) in rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is one of the alternatives for overcoming some of these problems and provides additional economic returns and employment. Diversifying cropping systems with inclusion of pulse crops (mungbean or urdbean) can enhance soil water conservation, soil N availability, system productivity, soil physico-chemical properties such as aggregate stability, soil structure, bulk density and hydraulic conductivity, and soil biological activities. Moreover, levels of organic carbon, total N, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients increased significantly and substantially due to inclusion of mungbean in RWCS. Simultaneously the soil microbiological properties, viz. microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen and enzymatic (alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, dehydrogenase, glucosidase, FDA hydrolysis, etc.) activities were also significantly higher in soils of rice-wheat-mungbean cropping system (RWMCS) than in RWCS. Therefore, this paper reviewed the inclusion of short duration pulses in different cropping systems in general and rice-fallows in particular which could help the farmers for getting the additional returns, besides improving soil physical, chemical and biological properties and help to sustain the agriculture productivity in the long-term.
