    . The prevalence of uneven rainfall distribution and intermittent droughts during the crop growth period frequently lead to crop failure. Semi-spreading groundnut demonstrates resilience to moisture stress under diverse land configurations, offering opportunities for intercropping. This adaptability not only helps the groundnut crop withstand challenging environmental conditions but also presents a potential strategy for mitigating risks during drought years. Under these circumstances, this study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of semi-spreading groundnut for the north eastern zone of Tamil Nadu, India. The experiment employed a strip plot layout with 12 treatment combinations viz ., Seed drill sowing with raised beds (90 cm) of Groundnut + Black gram (M 1 S 1 ); Groundnut + Cowpea (M 1 S 2 ) Groundnut + Red gram (M 1 S 3 ); Groundnut + Castor (M 1 S 4 ); Seed drill sowing with compartmental bunding of Groundnut + Black gram (M 2 S 1 ); Groundnut + Cowpea (M 2 S 2 ) Groundnut + Red gram (M 2 S 3 ); Groundnut + Castor (M 2 S 4 ) Seed drill sowing with no land configuration of Groundnut + Black gram (M 3 S 1 ); Groundnut + Cowpea (M 3 S 2 ) Groundnut + Red gram (M 3 S 3 ) Groundnut + Castor (M 3 S 4 ). The groundnut variety TMV 10 was utilized, and collected data were subjected to statistical analysis to determine the study’s outcomes. The adoption of the seed drill sowing with raised bed and compartmental bunding crop establishment technique resulted in a higher pod yield of 703 kg/ha, surpassing the flatbed method of sowing which yielded 605 kg/ha. Among the intercrops, cowpea and castor exhibited notably higher seed yields. An overall Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) analysis revealed that opting for compartmental bunding, raised bed with a red gram/cowpea intercrop provided the maximum return of $ 1.43 per $ invested.

    R Santhosh, R Baskaran, C Harisudan, J Prabhaharan, K Bharathi kumar
    Plant Science Today, 2025
    Food security in India is increasingly getting threatened by climate change and the growing population. India is working towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Integrating photovoltaics (PV) with agriculture has emerged as a viable option and has given rise to agrivoltaics (AV) which can prove as an innovative solution addressing land competition. Agrivoltaics is a technique that combines solar energy with farming. It offers multiple benefits such as increased agricultural yields, water conservation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This paper explores agrivoltaics as a Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) approach for Indian farmers and establish a sustainable and reliable model for the future. Agrivoltaics enables dual land use optimizing both food and energy production while mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. It helps improve resource efficiency ensuring a more resilient agricultural system. The potential of agrivoltaics is assessed using Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This analysis provides information about its strengths such as land optimization and climate mitigation effects; weaknesses including high initial costs; opportunities, like policy support and technological advancements; and threats, such as land-use conflicts and limited awareness. Implementation of agrivoltaics in Indian agriculture can bring greater sustainability ensuring food security while contributing to clean energy goals. This review emphasizes use of agrivoltaics as a transformative solution for achieving climate resilience and sustainable development in India's agricultural sector.

    Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2025
    Precise information on the impact of varying soil tillage and nutrient levels on the performance of sesame cultivated after rice is lacking. Sesame is an edible oil-yielding industrial plant of global importance with high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic and linoleic, that demands defined tillage and fertilizer management for optimum productivity under rice fallow environments. While productivity under non-fallow agro-environments is a function of genotype and environment, under rice fallow, previous paddy management practices have an impact on the succeeding sesame crop in question. To better understand and manipulate the agroecology in the rice fallow culture, it is necessary to study the behavior of sesame cultivars in relation to the tillage requirements and macronutrient factors that influence productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the productivity of rice fallow sesame in the eastern plateau and hills region (Odisha) of the Indian subcontinent as a function of tillage and nutrient management. Experiments conducted at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology during 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 with tillage practices (reduced, conventional, and zero tillage) and fertilizer doses (control, 25% Recommended Dose of Fertiliser (RDF), 50% RDF, 75% RDF, and 100% RDF) indicated that the performance of rice fallow sesame was poor under zero till conditions as the sesame crop is poorly adapted to the rice fallow regime resulting in a yield penalty of up to 68%. Additionally, 75% RDF has yielded a statistically similar yield to that of 100% RDF for the rice fallow sesame. Furthermore, neither the oil content nor the fatty acid composition was modified by tillage and nutrient management practices.

    Plant Science Today, 2025
    A field investigation at the regional research station in Vriddhachalam, Tamil Nadu, during summer and Kharif 2023 and in the summer of 2024 assessed crop establishment techniques, weed management and harvesting methods on sesame yield and energy efficiency. The main plot treatments included an inclined plate planter with pelletized seeds (M1), a pneumatic precision planter with pelletized seeds (M2), a pneumatic precision planter without pelletized seeds (M3) and manual line sowing (M4). Subplot treatments comprised Quizalofop ethyl + reaper binder (S1), Quizalofop ethyl + manual harvest (S2), hand weeding + reaper binder (S3) and hand weeding + manual harvest (S4) in a split-plot design. Line-sown sesame consistently produced higher seed (811, 768, 883 kg/ha) and biological yields (3436, 2979, 3869 kg/ ha) along with improved energy parameters, including energy ratio (1.696, 1.617, 1.828), net gain energy and energy productivity across three seasons. Pneumatic precision planters without pelletized seeds showed higher specific energy and energy intensity, while inclined plate planters with pelletized seeds recorded greater economic energy intensity. Among subplot treatments, hand weeding with reaper binder or manual harvest (S3, S4) resulted in superior seed and biological yields, lower energy input, higher energy output and better energy productivity. However, Quizalofop ethyl + manual harvest (S2) exhibited increased specific energy and economic energy intensity. This study highlights the benefits of sustainable practices and energy-efficient mechanization in sesame cultivation. The combination of line sowing, manual weed control and mechanized harvesting optimizes energy use and enhances productivity, supporting eco-friendly and economically viable sesame farming.

    Legume Research, 2025
    Background: Nutri cereal - Legume intercrop systems are particularly beneficial in North Eastern Zone of Tamil Nadu, which are characterized by high levels of malnutrition, resource limitation and rainfall variability. These conditions are further exacerbated by climate-related risks and uncertainty. Apart from enhancing water and nutrient use efficiency, improving soil fertility and financial gains, Millet-legume intercrop systems have become a better bet for increased food and nutrition security in marginal farming communities. Methods: A study conducted during the year of 2022 to 2024 at the Center of Excellence in Millet, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Athiyandal, Tamil Nadu. The study evaluated various intercropping ratios of finger millet with black gram and red gram across seven treatments, focusing on productivity, compatibility and economic viability. Result: Results indicated that intercropping finger millet with black gram at a 4:1 ratio produced taller plants (92.7 cm), more protective tillers (5.7 per plant), extensive root systems (19.9 cm), and higher chlorophyll content (3.67 mg/g). This combination resulted in the highest equivalent grain yield (2895 kg/ha) and demonstrated a favourable benefit-to-cost ratio (2.84), highlighting its potential for improving profitability and soil fertility. Conversely, intercropping with red gram yielded lower finger millet yields and less favourable economic returns, underscoring the importance of selecting suitable intercrops to maximize agricultural productivity and sustainability.

    Groundnut cultivation is significantly affected by insect pests such as thrips, leafhoppers, Spodoptera litura, Helicoverpa armigera and Aproaerema modicella, leading to yield losses. Excessive reliance on chemical insecticides has led to environmental concern such as pesticide residues, biodiversity loss and soil degradation, necessitating a shift towards organic alternatives. This study investigates the efficacy of organic amendments and bio-fertilizers in managing major pests and promoting natural enemy populations in groundnut cultivation. Field trials were conducted in two seasonal environments: Kharif 2022 and Rabi 2022-2023. Field trials evaluated the impact of various organic amendments (FYM, vermicompost, neem cake, poultry manure) and bio-fertilizers (Phosphobacteria and Rhizobium) on pest populations and the abundance of natural enemies in groundnut fields. Results showed that neem cake and vermicompost treatments significantly reduced thrips populations and minimized damage caused by S. litura, H. armigera and A. modicella compared to the control. Additionally, these treatments enhanced the populations of natural enemies such as spiders (3.83/10 plants) and ladybird beetles (9.5/10 plants). Moreover, Phosphobacteria application significantly increased spider populations, potentially due to improved soil health and enhanced prey availability, suggesting its role in promoting natural biocontrol agents. Economic analysis revealed that neem cake and Phosphobacteria treatments increased groundnut yield, achieving benefit-cost ratios of 1:2.47 and 1:2.85, respectively, highlighting their economic viability. These findings highlight the importance of organic amendments and bio-fertilizers in sustainable pest management practices, offering practical solutions for enhancing crop productivity and profitability while minimizing environmental impact.
