“…In India, three bollworm species cause principle harm to cotton. These are the Pectinophora gossypiella (pink bollworm), the Earias vitella (spotted bollworm), and the Helicoverpa armigera (American bollworm) (Vonzun et al, 2019) (Figure 5).…”

Pesticide spraying is one of the risky and very essential task in agriculture to protect plants from harmful organisms. Many farmers are used manual pesticide spraying devices that they carry these devices on their shoulders and spray on the entire plant. Due to this, harmful pesticide chemicals spread into the air and may enter into the body of farmers and farm workers through the breathing system and mostly affect their body parts even, so many farmers lost their life. For this serious problem, we present the best solution to perform this task without the intervention of man is to utilize a robotic system in an agriculture. This paper analyses the state-of-the-art reviews in the development of autonomous pesticide spraying robots that are divided into four main categories; platform mobility and steering, localization and navigation control, sensing and target detection, and pesticide spraying arrangement. This paper also focused on the efficient methodology that can be used for future perspectives to enhance pesticide spraying operations in an agriculture. In this paper, to achieve target spraying operation, a suitable navigation control algorithm for platform movement and an efficient trajectory planning algorithm for shortest link movement are designed which covers the shortest distance to visit all targeted pests on the plant. This technique will help to reduce the overdose of toxic pesticides hence minimize the wastage of pesticides and also control its dangerous effects on the human being and on the environment.

“…Comparisons were done on both "heavy" (Vertisol) and "light" (Inceptisol) soils, representative for irrigated and rain-fed cotton growing conditions in Central India [56]. Cotton yields ranged from 200 to 1500 kg ha −1 , soybean yields from 400 to 1600 kg ha −1 , and wheat yields from 500 to 3800 kg ha −1 .…”

There is a need to investigate and identify locally available organic substrates with acidifying potential, which can be used as an additive in rock phosphate (RP)-organic material composting mixtures. This paper reviews attempts to increase P availability in the context of smallholder, low-input and organic farming, and presents a case study from Central India that used a participatory approach to address P deficiency issues in cotton-based organic systems. Study was conducted from 2010 to 2014 through 61 on-farm trials and investigated the agronomic effectiveness of buttermilk-acidulated RP compost. The application of buttermilk-acidulated RP manure resulted in higher yields of cotton in all field trials and higher yields of soybean in all but one field trials. While on majority of the farms (18 out of 28), wheat yields increased with the application of buttermilk-acidulated RP compost, a quarter of the field trials (7 out of 28) exhibited yields lower than farmers’ practices. The study showed that it was possible to develop a locally adoptable solution to an agronomic constraint using locally available resources including the indigenous knowhow. Buttermilk proved to be an effective acidulating agent that can be added to RP-amended compost.

“…To complement the nutrient supply, other sources such as de-oiled castor (Ricinus communis) cake and powdered rock phosphate are also recommended [14]. Pest management primarily relies on preventive measures, such as selecting robust cotton varieties [15], maintaining a diverse crop rotation, and intercropping with maize and pigeon pea or okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) as trap crops. In order to augment the populations of natural enemies, organic farmers are suggested to intercrop flowering plants such as marigold (Tagetes spp.)…”

Cotton is essentially a smallholder crop across tropical countries. Being a major cash crop, it plays a decisive role in the livelihoods of cotton-producing farmers. Both conventional and organic production systems offer alternative yet interesting propositions to cotton farmers. This study was conducted in Nimar valley, a prominent cotton-producing region of central India, with the aim of categorically evaluating the contribution of management and fixed factors to productivity on conventional and organic cotton farms. A study framework was developed considering the fixed factors, which cannot be altered within reasonable limits of time, capacity and resources, e.g., landholding or years of age and/or practice; and management factors, which can be altered/influenced within a reasonable time by training, practice and implementation. Using this framework, a structured survey of conventional and organic farms operating under comparable circumstances was conducted. Landholding and soil types were significant contributors/predictors of yield on organic farms. In contrast, landholding was not the main factor related to yields on conventional farms, which produced the highest yields when led by farmers with more than five years of formal education and living in a joint family. Nitrogen application, the source of irrigation (related to timely and adequate supply), crop rotation and variables related to adequate plant population (seed source, germination rate and plant thinning) were the main management factors limiting cotton yields among conventional and organic farms. Both organic and conventional farms in the Nimar valley exhibited a similar pattern of variation in cotton yields and technical efficiency. This study highlights the enormous scope for improving cotton productivity in the region by improving technical efficiency, strengthening extension services and making appropriate policy interventions.
