“…In contrast, we observed no significant differences, whether direct-seeded or transplanted under fresh or permanent beds, compared to the conventionally tilled treatments with sowing under flat conditions. This result was also different from some studies in R-W systems on fresh or permanent beds (Bhushan et al, 2007;Choudhury et al, 2006;Gathala et al, 2011a,b;Kukal et al, 2010;Yadvinder-Singh et al, 2009). Each of these studies which were conducted in Northwest IGP reported lower rice yield under fresh or permanent beds compared to conventionally-tilled puddled condition.…”

“…However, if maize is grown under reduced or no tillage with residue retention -even in the case of permanent beds -then both SOM and SNS capacity can be maintained (Govaerts et al, 2006(Govaerts et al, , 2007Witt et al, 2000). This was perhaps the reason why the studies conducted in the Northwestern IGP (e.g., Kukal et al, 2010;Yadvinder-Singh et al, 2009) had no benefits to rice on permanent beds over the conventional tillage with flat planting, as none of those studies retained residue of different crops. Moreover, as mentioned above, Yadvinder- Singh et al (2009) and Kukal et al (2010) used larger tractor tire size width and hence may have compacted the beds formed on light soils.…”

“…Likewise, Yadvinder- Singh et al (2009) reported that DSR yields on permanent beds declined to 33-44% and that on fresh beds were 7-15% of the conventionally-tilled puddled TPR yields. Lastly, Kukal et al (2010) also reported a significant decline in DSR yield on permanent beds relative to puddled TPR on both loamy and sandy loam soil, also in Northwest IGP. Hence, there is considerably uncertainty about the benefits of bed planting and in which production environments the technology most sensibly fits.…”

“…Planting methods affect the plant population and nutrient availability (Ijaz et al, 2015). Most commonly used method for water conservation in crop plants are drill sowing (Aiken et al, 2015) raised bed planting (Kukal et al, 2010) and furrow planting . Seedling establishment is a phenological stage at which drought stress could be damaging to the plants (Croser et al, 2003).…”

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide. Drought is the most detrimental environmental factor affecting the crop plants from germination up to maturity. A complete perspective of the effect of drought is crucial in understanding the influence of climate variability on rape cultivation. Water deficit stress affects morphology, physiology and development of rape crop. The aim of this article is to present an outline of the effects of drought stress on the growth, physiological processes, yield and quality parameters of rape crop. When drought stress occurs at critical stages, both short and long term, it can adversely affect important growth and physiological processes like leaf area, root growth, shoot growth, excised leaf water loss (ELWL), relative water content (RWC), photosynthesis and water use efficiency (WUE) by disturbing stomatal adjustment, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), lowering stomatal conductance and destroying the chlorophyll and other pigments. Rape is more susceptible to water deficit stress during reproductive stages which ultimately affect the yield and oil quality. Some important management strategies for drought mitigation in rape, including use of compatible solutes, nutrients, plant growth regulators, different planting methods are also mentioned and discussed in this review paper.

“…As ZT takes advantage of residual moisture from the previous crop, water use is decreased by~10 cm¨ha´1 (~1 million L¨ha´1¨year´1). There was no yield advantage of growing crops on beds compared with flat areas under rice-wheat system on permanent beds, and there was little advantage in water savings [96][97][98].…”

Soil Conservation Issues in India

Despite years of study and substantial investment in remediation and prevention, soil erosion continues to be a major environmental problem with regard to land use in India and elsewhere around the world. Furthermore, changing climate and/or weather patterns are exacerbating the problem. Our objective was to review past and current soil conservation programmes in India to better understand how production-, environmental-, social-, economic-and policy-related issues have affected soil and water conservation and the incentives needed to address the most critical problems. We found that to achieve success in soil and water conservation policies, institutions and operations must be co-ordinated using a holistic approach. Watershed programmes have been shown to be one of the most effective strategies for bringing socio-economic change to different parts of India. Within both dryland and rainfed areas, watershed management has quietly revolutionized agriculture by aligning various sectors through technological soil and water conservation interventions and land-use diversification. Significant results associated with various watershed-scale soil and water conservation programmes and interventions that were effective for reducing land degradation and improving productivity in different parts of the country are discussed.
