Enhancing growth, yield and nutrient use efficiency in hybrid maize through integrated nutrient and weed management strategies Open
Maize is a nutrient-demanding crop and weed competition during the critical growth stages can result in yield losses ranging from 28 to 100 %. Addressing this issue requires research focused on integrating innovative agronomic strategies. …

Nanocomposite based slow release atrazine effectively controlled Striga asiatica incidence, and enhanced sugarcane yield Open
Sugarcane is a major industrial crop highly susceptible to parasitic weed (Striga spp.), causing a 38% reduction in cane yield due to a longer lag phase of 20-40 days, and wider spacing. Herbicides with a longer retention and slow-release …

Effect of Transient Waterlogging Stress on Growth, Physiology and Yield of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in Semi-Arid Region Open
Cowpea cultivation during rainy season is highly affected by the waterlogging stress due to unpredicted high-intensity rains. The studies on assessment of waterlogging effect on different growth stages of cowpea are necessary for planning …
View article: Short-term practice of deficit irrigation and nutrition influences soil–root interface, and water use efficiency of winter fodder corn in semi-arid region
Short-term practice of deficit irrigation and nutrition influences soil–root interface, and water use efficiency of winter fodder corn in semi-arid region Open
Water scarcity is a global concern due to climate change induced irregular rainfall, and unsustainable water management practices. This study assessed the interaction of deficit irrigation and nutrient levels on soil-roots interface, water…
