A field experiment investigated sowing time and planting geometry for Mustard TAM-108-1 in clayey soil. Three sowing dates (S1, S2, S3) and four planting geometries (G1, G2, G3, G4) were tested. Early November sowing and 45 × 10 cm planting produced the best results. It led to taller plants, more branches, higher dry matter accumulation, and improved yield parameters such as siliquae, seeds, and straw yield. Economic factors, including gross and net monetary returns, also favored the early sowing and specific planting geometry. Optimal sowing time and planting geometry are crucial for...

With the recent increase in cotton pink bollworm infestation and the banning of several common insecticides by the Indian government, including some commonly used for managing pink bollworm, which is a major threat to cotton crops in India. In response, a study was conducted to find suitable alternatives that are comparable or more effective than the soon-to-be-banned insecticides. The study evaluated nine insecticides for their ovicidal properties against pink bollworm, using laboratory and field experiments. The results showed that Profenofos 50 EC was the most effective insecticide in...
