22. Water Management In Crop Production Water and other production inputs interact with one another. In proper combinations, the crop yields can be boosted manifold under irrigated agriculture. http://www.krishiworld.com/html/water_crop_prod1.html

Search Chat IMPORTANCE OF WATER MANAGEMENT IN CROP PRODUCTION Water is one of the most important inputs essential for the production of crops . Plants need it continuously during their life and in huge quantities. It profoundly influences photosynthesis, respiration, absorption, translocation and utilization of mineral nutrients, and cell division besides some other processes. Both its shortage and excess affects the growth and development of a plant directly and, consequently, its yield and quality. Rainfall is the cheapest source of natural water-supply for crop plants. In India, however, rainfall is notoriously capricious, causing floods and droughts alternately. Its frequency distribution and amount are not in accordance with the needs of the crops . Artificial water-supply through irrigation on one occasion, and removal of excess water through drainage on another occasion, therefore, become imperative, if the crops are to be raised successfully. Water management in India, thus, comprises irrigation or drainage or both, depending considerably on the environmental conditions, soil, crops , and climate. It is a situation-oriented entity.

For example, a conventional Iowa corn and soybean producer would be interested in developing both a corn and soybean enterprise budget. Organic growers may have three to six different products they may wish to develop budgets for depending upon the number of crops within their rotation. These budgets reflect a four-year rotation of corn, soybeans, oats with alfalfa, and a second year of alfalfa as the crops. Changing the rotation to include a second year of corn after soybeans for example would affect the corn budget described here. Why use enterprise budgets? In economic terms, enterprise budgets help to allocate land, labor, and capital, which are limited, to the most appropriate use. The most appropriate use is defined by the person in control of the resources and may be used to maximize profits, minimize soil loss, or achieve other goals.

32. Soil Cation Ratios For Crop Production Describes the concept of cation ratios in soils and discusses the importance of these ratios for crop. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC6437.html

FO-06437-GO 1994 To Order North Central Regional Extension Publication 533 Soil Cation Ratios for Crop Production by George Rehm Soil Science Department University of Minnesota For many years, soil testing has been used as a management tool to arrive at fertilizer recommendations that are essential for economic crop production. Two general concepts or philosophies of making fertilizer recommendations evolved as the use of soil testing techniques and procedures were refined and used more and more as a basis for making fertilizer recommendations. The "sufficiency level" approach is built on the concept that there are certain levels of plant nutrients in soil that can be defined as optimum. Below some defined level, crops will respond to the application of a nutrient in question. Likewise, crops will not respond to the addition of the nutrient if the soil test levels are above a defined sufficient level. The "basic cation saturation ratio" (BCSR) approach promotes the concept that maximum yields can only be achieved by creating an ideal ratio of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) in the soil system. This approach is not concerned with recommendations for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and the micronutrients. Today, most public and private soil testing laboratories responsible for making fertilizer recommendations use the "sufficiency level" approach. Others adjust recommendations generated from the "sufficiency level" approach with a consideration for the "basic cation saturation ratios." A more detailed discussion of the BCSR and "sufficiency level" approaches to fertilizer recommendations is provided by Eckert (1987). Recommendations based on the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept are usually quite different from those based on the "sufficiency level" concept. This confuses the grower as well as those who advise the grower. Therefore, this publication addresses the history of the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept and examines its importance and relevancy for crop production. It is not written for the purpose of comparing fertilizer recommendations resulting from the use of either concept.

Post comment Text size: State corn-for-grain yields in 2007 averaged 85 bushels an acre, down 35 bushels from 2006, the statistics service reported. Virginia's corn-for-grain production was estimated at 34.4 million bushels, 17 percent below 2006, even though farmers planted more corn in 2007. In the state, 405,000 acres of corn were harvested for grain, which is 60,000 acres more than in 2006. Corn acreage nationally in 2007 was the highest since 1933, as speculation in ethanol as an alternative fuel made from corn drove up profits that farmers could make. The state's soybean yield averaged 27 bushels an acre, four bushels below 2006. About 480,000 acres were harvested for beans, down 30,000 acres from the previous year. Soybean production was estimated at 13 million bushels, 18 percent less than 2006 production, the statistics service reported.

Fig. 1 The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture. Thomas Jefferson, In Services to My Country (ca. 1800) Neither my overseers nor manager will attend properly to anything but the crops they have usually cultivated; and, in spite of all I can say, if there is the smallest discretionary power allowed them they will fill the land with corn, although even to themselves there are the most obvious traces of its baneful effects. I am resolved, however, as soon as it shall be in my power to attend a little more closely to my own concerns, to make this crop yield [i.e., give way] in a degree to other grains, to pulses, and to grasses.

The Canada-Saskatchewan Agri-Food Innovation Fund is made up of nine separate areas of which Specialized Crop Production is one of those areas. The Specialized Crop Production Area is organized along the concept of a "Hub and Spoke Program". In the context of the Agri-Food Innovation Fund, specialized crops includes herbs and spices, organic crops, pollinators, specialized oilseeds, forage seeds, new pulses and established specialty crops where major constraints require resolution. For more detailed information see the Agri-Food Innovation Fund The objective of the "Hub" Research Program is to develop adapted, high quality cultivars and disease control technology for specific specialized crop production constraints. Some of the activities include: the development of Saskatchewan varieties of coriander, caraway, anise, dill, fenugreek and other spice crops, the development of adapted yellow mustard cultivar with a soybean-like protein/oil profile, the development of a high oleic acid variety of solin (flax) variety as well as a high palmitic and stearic fatty acid line, the establishment of a molecular mapping laboratory to accelerate the development of canola quality mustard varieties

Science News Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark Improved Crop Production And Fewer Greenhouse Gases ScienceDaily (Mar. 30, 2004) See also: Agriculture and Food Organic Soil Types Global Warming ... Prairie Restoration The researchers studied three different methods of soybean farming: conservation (no-till drilling); conventional tillage, and organic farming. Their findings showed that the conservation method produced the highest crop yield, 15% more than conventional tillage and 110% more than organic farming. It also held the most carbon in the soil41% more soil carbon than conventional tillage and 48% more than organic. This catching and holding of soil carbon, called sequestration, keeps carbon from being incorporated into carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. For example, the conservation technique would use 52% less land than the organic method to produce the same amount of soybeans. The research was conducted on a farm in Brighton, Iowa and supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Boston College. Harrison's area of study focuses on the effects of fossil fuel combustion, acid rain and deforestation on the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. At Boston College, he teaches courses on "Biogeochemistry of the Habitable Planet"; "Environmental Geochemistry: Living Dangerously," and "Weather, Climate and the Environment: Global Warming." He earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry and a bachelor of arts degree in English and American literature at Brown University. He received a master's degree in marine chemistry from the University of California at San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and master's and doctoral degrees in geological sciences from Columbia University.

REFERENCES One of the great achievements of the 20th century was the successful expansion of food production to keep pace with growing demand caused by growing populations and rising incomes. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that as these two factors continue to push demand upwards, the world will require about 50 per cent more food by 2030, compared to 1998 (FAO 2005a). Climate change will be an important factor in determining whether this can be achieved. The most recent assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projected that global average surface The rise in temperatures will influence crop yields by The overall impact of these effects will vary by elevation, soil type, crop and other local factors. This variability, along with the uncertainties of very long-term climate forecasting, especially at the regional level, makes discussion of the effects of climate
