    The farmers of Middle Gujarat Agroclimatic Zone-III cultivating gram crop (GG-2) are advised to add an application of 75 per cent recommended phosphorus fertilizer @ 30 kg/ha and phosphobacterin culture with adequate organic manure as a basal treatment in conjunction with irrigation in two stages (i.e.branching and pod formation) for getting higher yield as well as higher net profit.

  2. Water Management (Year 2005-06) Mustard:

    The farmers of Middle Gujarat agroclimatic zone-III (AES-III) cultivating mustard crop (var. GM-2) in Narmada command are advised to irrigate the crop at sowing, node elongation, flowering and pod development stages with 5 cm depth to get higher net return.

    The farmers of Middle Gujarat agroclimatic zone-III (AES-III) cultivating gram crop (var. GG-2) in Narmada command are advised to irrigate the crop with canal irrigation at branching stage to get higher yield as well as higher net profit.

    The farmers of Middle Gujarat agroclimatic zone-III (AES-III) cultivating wheat crop (var. GW-496) in Narmada command are advised to irrigate the crop with canal irrigation of 60 mm depth at critical growth stages of CRI, grain filling, milking and dough stages besides one irrigation at sowing to achieve higher yield and net profit.
