Extent of Adoption of Intercropping Practices Among Farmers of Haryana

Abstract

Intercropping is a variant of multiple cropping practices that includes the cultivation of two or more crops in definite close proximity. The current study was led in dry and wet agro climatic zones of Haryana in 2022 with an objective to assess the adoption of intercropping practices among farmers of Haryana. The primary data were collected personally from 120 respondents through a well-structured interview schedule. Findings revealed that nearly three-fifths of the respondents had medium level of adoption of intercropping practices and the farmers were adopting intercropping mainly in vegetables. Highly significant association was found between education, mass media exposure, inheritance with level of adoption of the intercropping system. A significant association was found between age, caste, annual income, land holding, extension contacts with level of adoption. The main reasons for adoption of intercropping were higher income and improved socio-economic status. The paper recommends on field training/demonstration for farmers who were adopting intercropping so that adoption of intercropping can be made efficient and from this more number of farmers will be encouraged to adopt intercropping.

Synthesis, characterization, TD‐DFT, molecular docking, biological applications, and solvatochromic studies of some new metal complexes derived from semicarbazone of pyrano[3,2‐c]quinoline‐3‐carboxaldehyde

“…The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of the current complexes were measured in DMSO-d 6 using TMS a reference, and the spectral data are listed in Table 3. The 1 H-and 13 C NMR spectra of H 2 L ligand were reported in our previous research. 23 However, 1 H NMR spectra of diamagnetic Zn(II) 1, Cd(II) 2, and UO 2 (VI) 4 complexes are illustrated in Figure 1 and Figures S5 and S6.…”

“…A FT-IR Bruker spectrophotometer was used to monitor spectra (4000-400 cm À1 ) in KBr discs. Spectra of 1 H NMR (300 MHz) and 13 C NMR (75 MHz) were done in DMSO-d 6 , relative to TMS, using a Mercury-300BB. However, Shimadzu gas chromatography GC-2010 instrument was used to record mass fragmentations at 300 C and 70 eV.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] This motivated scientists to develop highly effective methods for the preparation of pyranoquinoline derivatives. 12 On the other hand, semicarbazones of pyranoquinolines that exhibit great interest due to their anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, and antineoplastic activities, 13 extensively used as ligands in coordination chemistry. 14,15 Also, semicarbazones used to create new and more efficient medical drugs by increasing their bioactivity by complexing with some metal ions.…”

Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and in vitro cytotoxic evaluation of trinuclear heterobimetallic complexes of Ni (II) derived by the reaction of [Ni(C10H10N2)2]Cl2 with dialkyl/diaryl organometallic dichlorides

“…23 In the context to destroy cancer cells, previously Pt (II) metallodrugs are recognized anticancer drugs which attained world-wide clinical approval, but these drugs have some limitations including high toxicity, different side effects, narrow range of activity, and resistance problem. [27][28][29] So, to improve the clinical efficacy and undesirable side effects, a huge number of organometallic compounds have been assessed for anticancer activity. Organotin (IV) complexes have established themselves as effective candidates in oncology with amazingly good IC 50 values.…”
