In Uttaranchal, tea is grown as a rainfed crop. Being dependant almost wholly on rain, its quantity and distribution are very important for growth and production of tea. In tea plantations of Kausani region of Uttaranchal, year-to-year variations in total rainfall and its distribution are significant. Total annual rainfall of 1061mm, 1354mm and 1401mm was received in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively (Fig. 18). During January to March 238mm, 271mm and 47mm of rainfall was received in the same order. During 2004, 82% of rainfall occurred in the months of June-August. Therefore, the rainfall...

The productivity of sugarcane in Bihar is only 48.2 t ha-1 which is about 72 percent of the national productivity of 68.2 t/ha. Thus there is a big gap between national and state level productivity. In soils of Bihar P fixation ranged between 25-90 percent of the applied phosphorus within 120 days. Phosphorus fixation in soil is strongly correlated with free calcium carbonate and base saturation. Sugarcane crop planted colouration of leaf in early growth stages which is supposed to have definite negative bearing on growth of plants and, finally yield. The availabilities of phosphorus to plant...
