Achievements
- A good agromet data base for eastern Uttar
Pradesh has been developed. The data base has been critically
analysed to assess the agroclimatic features of the region and an agroclimatic atlas
of ester Uttar Pradesh is being
prepared.
- Detailed studies on water use,
heat use and radiation use efficiencies of wheat, rice and
pigeonpea genotypes during different phenophases have been carried
out and the efficient genotypes for the region were
identified.
- Weather-pest/disease
relationships have been worked out in respect of various pests of
pigeonpea, wheat and rice. The threshold limits of temperatures
and relative humidity and sunshine parameters for different
pest/disease incidence have been quantified. Disease forecasting
equations developed based on these studies are being used in
agromet advisories.
- Phenology and thermal time
requirements for completion of different pyenophase of growth have
been worked out for wheat, rice and pigeonpea crops. The
information is being used for validation and modification of
dynamic crop simulation models for adoption to local
conditions.
