Agro technology:

1	1985	Application of 120 kg N /ha to variety CR-138-928 in four equal splits at transplanting, tillering, panicle initiation and boot stages proved advantageous in enhancing the yield. Application of phosphorous and potash however did not prove beneficial.
2	1992	The farmers of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone Situation-III following Paddy –Gram crop sequence are recommended to apply N and P @ 50 kg/ha and 25 kg/ha, respectively to Paddy GR-11 and @10 kg/ha and 20 kg/ha, respectively of N and P to gram Dahod yellow for getting economic return.
3	1992	Farmers of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone are advised to practice green manuring with sunhamp before Kharif paddy and apply 100% recommended dose of N for higher production. Those who cannot offered to apply 100 % N can only 60 % N to get the same yield as 100 % N alone with out green manuring.
4	1993	The farmer of Vyara area CAES-III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone are advised to give two irrigations to the gram crop through sprinkler method to save 50 % irrigated water. The first irrigation should be applied of the time of sowing and the second irrigation after about 25 days i.e. at branching stage with 50 mm depth of irrigation. (The sprinkler system should be laid at 12 x 12 m spacing and should be operated at 2.75 kg/cm2 pressure. To get 1.67 cm/hr application rate for a total application of 50mm, the set should be operated for three hours).
5	1993	The farmers of Vyara area (ARS-III) of South Gujarat Heavy rainfall Zone are advised to use sprinkler method of irrigation for summer groundnut crop to have 150 % more income with marginal saving of water. (The sprinkler system should be laid at 12 x 12 m spacing and should be operated at 2.75 kg/cm2 pressure. To get 0.67 cm/hr. application rate, the set should be operated for 2 hrs. 24 min. per irrigation for a total application of 40 mm)
6	1994	Farmers of Middle (Zone -III) and south Gujarat (Zone-I) growing rice (Ambica) are advised to apply 180 kg/ha N and 30 kg/ha P205 for getting higher grain yield and net profit. Nitrogen may be applied in three splits at the stages of planting, tillering and panicle initiation in 2:2:1 proportion, respectively. Phosphorus should be applied as a basal dose.
7	1994	The farmers growing transplanted paddy variety GR-11 during Kharif in the South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Agro-climatic Zone (AES-III) are advised to apply 100 kgK2O/ha. in two equal split. Marginal farmers may apply 50 kg K2O/ha. in two equal splits as basal and at flowering stage to get the maximum return per rupee invested (ICBR 2.18).
8	1994	The farmers growing transplanted paddy through hired labour in South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Agro-climatic Zone (AES-III and IV) are advised to adopt the practice of direct seeding of sprouted seeds in line under paddled conditions. As compared to transplanting it gives 37 % higher net returns. Further by this the crop mature earlier by about one week in case of early variety (GR-3) and by about two weeks in case of late variety (GR-103).
9	1995	The farmers of Agro-ecological Situation III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone, practicing sprouted seeding are advised to adopt seed rate of 60 Kg/ha with a row distance of 22.5 cm in order to obtain 13 percent more yield.
10	1995	The farmers of Agro-ecological Situation III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone, cultivating variety GR-103 in summer season are advised to sow sprouted seeds after thorough puddling. This gives 32% more net return over transplanting method.
11	1996	The farmers of Agro-ecological Situation III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone, growing summer groundnut are advised to sow the crop from December to first fortnight of January.
12	1997	Farmers cultivating rabi/summer crop after irrigated transplanting paddy in AES-III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone are advocated to adopt paddy) – groundnut\\\'s) sequence in order to get about 167 Percent more net return over existing paddy – gram sequence.
13	1997	Farmers of AES-III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone growing summer groundnut are advocated to 30 cm spacing with a seed rate of 120 Kg/ha.
14	1998	Phosphorus management in green manure paddy sequence Farmers of AES-III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone following green manure-paddy (GR-3) sequence in soil of medium phosphorus are advised to apply 30 kg P2O5/ha to green manure instead of 60 kg P2O5/ha to paddy.
15	1999	Farmers of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone (AES-III) are advised to fertilize kharif transplanted paddy with 100 kg N /ha in two equal splits i.e. 50 kg as basal and 50 kg at tillering stage (30 DAT) under Navsari (Jaya) and Vyara (GR-11) conditions. In case, the basal application is missed due to adverse conditions, the entire quantity may be applied at tillering stage.
16	2000	Farmers of AES-III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone-I growing paddy (GR-5) during kharif are advised to applied 120 kgN/ha. In soils containing high available P2O5, K2O and S these elements should not be applied.
17	2002	Farmers of Agro-ecological Situation – III of South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone following paddy (Kharif) – paddy (summer) cropping sequence are advised to incorporate paddy straw @ 5 t/ha along with 80 kg N/ha (50 or 75 % basal) with a common dose of 50 kg P2O5/ha for getting higher yield. It saves 20 % N and increases availability of organic carbon, P2O5 and K2O in soil
18	2004	The farmers of Agro-ecological situation-III of south Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone growing Summer transplanted paddy (Gurjari or Jaya) are advised to sow their seedling nursery during first fortnight of December for getting higher yield.
19	2005	The farmers of South Gujarat heavy rainfall zone (AES-III) growing summer paddy are advised not to seed nursery after 15th December.
20	2007	The Farmers of South Gujarat heavy rainfall zone (AES-III) following paddy (K)- paddy (S) sequence are advised to apply pressmud @ 10 t/ha + 75% RDP (22.5 Kg/P2O5/ha) in addition to recommended dose of nitrogen to both the crops for obtaining profitable yiled as well as sustaining soil fertility.
21	2008	The Farmers of South Gujarat heavy rainfall zone (AES-III), adopting paddy (Kharif)-summer groundnut sequence are advise to follow 6” deep ploughing after harvest of paddy for higher yield and net return.
22	2009	The Farmers of AES-III of South Gujarat heavy rainfall zone are advice to grow rabi castor variety GCH-5 during second fortnight of October to first fortnight of November to secure higher production and net income.
23	2010	The Farmers of South Gujarat heavy rainfall zone (AES-III) growing Kharif paddy are advised to adopt either sprouted seed or SIRA technology for realizing higher yield and net profit.
24	2011	The farmers of south Gujarat heavy rainfall zone (AES-III) growing Summer groundnut are advised to vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (25- 50- 00) NPK/ha for getting higher yield and net profit.

Plant pathology :

1	1978	Considering the importance of false smut disease in South Gujarat areas it is tentatively suggested to spray either Zineb @ 0.1 % a.i. + Copper Oxychloride @ 0.3 % a.i. or Captafol @ 0.1 % a.i. of the boot leaf and dough stage to control false smut.
2	1979	Spray of Disfotatan Captafol 0.1 % @ 1000 l/ha at boot leaf and dough stages is recommended for the control of false smut.
3	1979	Varieties IR-22 and IR-28 being tolerant to false smut they are recommended for the epidemic areas of South Gujarat
