Counseling of integrated crop management technology is done to reduce the negative impact on the environment through various ways either through formal or informal media, but in fact the utilization of technological innovation tends to decrease because of difficult farmer attitude accept technological innovation offered. The purpose of this research is to see the relationship of agricultural extension media, consumer behavior and adoption of integrated crop management technology of chili. The study was first conducted in Maros regency, conducted in April-August 2017. Data were collected randomly (simple random sampling) and interviews were conducted to 85 respondents in a structured manner using a pre-prepared questionnaire. Data analysis was done using two methods: (1) descriptive statistical analysis, and (2) quantitative analysis. Descriptive analysis to explain extension media, farmer attitude and farmer adoption, measured using index aid. Quantitative analysis uses Chie Square analysis. The results showed that there was no significant correlation between media of counseling with farmer attitude and there was significant correlation between media of counseling with application of integrated crop management technology of chili by farmer. Extension activities through extension media need to be improved and the choice of extension media should be in accordance with the needs and conditions of local farmers, so that counseling can be achieved. Farmers' attitude toward technology should be directed to arrive at a process of action to adopt technology.

Low and continuously deteriorating soil fertility coupled with frequent droughts and extended mid-season dry spells scenarios brought about by low and unreliable rainfalls have had a significant negative influence on agricultural productivity in most semi-arid regions of the world. The farmers' limited capacity to change their farming practices and adjust to the changing climatic circumstances further exacerbates these effects. Various in-field rainwater collection techniques, including Zai pits, have been promoted in recent years to assist farmers, particularly in dry and semi-arid locations, to harvest, store, and use rainfall for increased crop productivity. Zai pit is a form of dryland farming technique that involves the unitization of holes or troughs aimed at ensuring soil maintenance, soil erosion control and water preservation in agricultural fields. Additionally, combining effective soil fertility management strategies, such as integrated soil fertility management, with rainwater harvesting methods has the potential to further boost crop yields. Integrated soil fertility management involves the combined use of inorganic fertilizers and organic fertilizers such as cattle manure with the aim of improving soil fertility. Zai pit technology and integrated soil fertility management techniques have been utilized as climate smart agricultural approaches to reduce soil moisture stress and improve crop productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper reviews previous research results on crop productivity as influenced by Zai pit technology and integrated soil fertility management techniques.

Crop residue burning influences human health and global climate change. In China—the world's largest crop residue producer—farmers burn almost one quarter of their crop residues in the field after harvest, despite the government providing financial incentives such as subsidies to retain crop residues. This study combined economic analyses with simulations of soil carbon accumulation and carbon emission reduction associated with different residue management practices to determine the minimum level of incentives needed for Chinese farmers to shift from burning to retaining crop residues for generating carbon benefits. Simulation results showed that [1] the density of topsoil organic carbon in China's croplands would have increased from about 21.8 t ha −1 in 2000 to 23.9 t ha −1 in 2010, and soil organic carbon sequestration would have reached 24.4 Tg C yr −1 if farmers had shifted from burning to retaining crop residues on croplands during this period; and [2] retaining crop residues would have avoided about 149.9 Tg of CO 2 emission per year. Economic analyses showed that [1] existing subsidies in all regions of China, except Northeast China, only accounted for 18–82% of the incentives required for farmers to shift from burning to crop residue retention; [2] Northeast China required the lowest incentive (287 CNY ha −1 ), while eastern China required the highest (837 CNY ha −1 ); and [3] the prevailing market prices (1.4–60.2 CNY tCO 2 e −1 ) in China's seven pilot carbon markets seem to be below the required incentives (39.6–189.1 CNY tCO 2 e −1) . Our study suggests that the Chinese government should increase subsidies or seek innovative incentive schemes to encourage farmers to change their crop residue management practices for global climate change mitigation and health benefits.

Arundo donax was screened for their allelopathic potential to the growth of barley seedlings. The 3 aqueous leachate was tested for seed germination of barley in laboratory bioassay. The Arundo donax was found to enhance the growth of barley seedlings. The aqueous leachate of Bg parts was more pronounced growth of barley seedlings than Ag parts. This study suggested the future prospects of the integrated management of barley crop using the allelopathic potential of A. donax.

A study was undertaken in Dang district of Gujarat state (India) from 2008–09 to 2013–14 under NAIP-III with an objective for sustaining socio –economic status of tribal farmers by boosting crop yield, animal husbandry activities and natural resource management through integrated research approach covering interventions viz. use of improved/ high yielding varieties, diversification / replacement of crops, backyard vegetable farming, scientific animal husbandry, fish farming, natural resources management including harvesting and arresting rain water and their use, soil conservation, expansion of surface irrigation and introduction of micro-irrigation systems, value addition and other income generating activities. The results of various activities were compared with baseline data and in cases impact analysis was done. Pigeon- pea crop recorded the highest percent increase in yield followed by ground nut, paddy, chick pea, nagli (ragi), niger, black gram crop and gross income for all these crops significantly increased over those of initial year (2008–09). Crop diversification/ replacement with soybean, turmeric ginger and okra respectively in place of prior crops                   paddy & nagli, niger, paddy and vari exhibited significant increase in income. Land and soil conservation works increased area under cultivation (32.5 ha), average crop yield (17 - 22%), and soil moisture storage (19-20 %) with reduction                   (45 - 60%) in erosion. Use of harvested and arrested rainwater increased irrigated area (26.0 ha) and crop production around 210 kgha -1 . The expansion of surface irrigation facility boosted crop yield around 28 - 33 % with an additional higher income of 40 - 45%. Average enhancement of net income under sprinkler and drip was Rs 4394/- and Rs 7172/-per ha respectively. Vermi-composting activity played a role in generation of additional income and reduction in use of chemical fertilizers. Increase in annual income under HF/Jersey breed cow /farmer over indigenous and local breed of cow and under Mehsana or Murrah breed buffalo /farmer over local breed were statistically highly significant (0.01 level of significance) at the end of the year 2013. Fish farming and backyard vegetable farming also proved to be income generating or household consumption sources. Sewing works by tribal girls fetched an additional income of Rs 2200 to 2500 / year / girl.             Various on and off campus short and income generating trainings and exposure visits were conducted for tribal farmers / farm women and farm literature were distributed for their skill development, empowerment and knowledge enrichment.             Results clearly indicated that integrated research approach including crop - production related activities, scientific animal husbandry, fish farming, natural resources management, value addition and other income generating activities were of equal importance for sustaining socio – economic status of tribal farmers of the study area

This study aimed to determine farmers' perception of integrated soil fertility and nutrient management for sustainable crop production. Integrated soil fertility (ISF) and nutrient management (NM) is an advanced approach to maintain soil fertility and to enhance crop productivity. A total number of 120 farmers from eight villages in four districts of Bangladesh were selected using a stratified random sampling method and data were collected from each farmer through personal interviews. Five point, Likert-type response scales were used to measure farmers' perception of the issues. The findings of different categories of farmers indicated that landless, marginal and small farmers had a low level of awareness when compared with medium and large farm holders. The overall perception of farmers in the study areas revealed that a significant proportion (78%) had either a low or a very low level of perception while 22% had a medium to high level of perception. Findings from individual interviews with farmers indicated that they perceived themselves as having a low perception of preparation of farm yard manure and the role of organic matter as well as the beneficial aspect of ISF and NM for sustainable crop production. Among the nine characteristics of farmers, four characteristics- education level, farming experience, farm size and communication exposure influenced farmers positively. However, two characteristics--family size and fertilizer use negatively influenced farmers' perception of ISF and NM for sustainable crop production. (Contains 5 tables.)
