Intercropping in Bt cotton: Intercrop one row either of maize or cowpea as fodder and summer moong as grain crop in Bt cotton sown at row to row spacing of 67.5 cm . Harvest maize and cowpeas fodder at 45-55 days after sowing.
Intercropping in maize: Intercrop one row either of cowpea, maize or teosinte as fodder and groundnut for pods in maize sown at row to row spacing of 60 cm. Harvest cowpea, maize and teosinte fodder 45-55 days after sowing
Nitrogen requirement of basmati varieties i.e. Punjab Basmati 2, Punjab Basmati 3 and Pusa Basmati 1121 after green manuring
There is no need to apply urea to basmati varieties i.e. Punjab Basmati 2, Punjab Basmati 3 and Pusa Basmati 1121 after green manuring or incorporation of summer moong strawafter picking of pods.
Cropping Systems:Maize/summer Groundnut-kharif onion-onion ;
Turmeric –onion /late sown wheat
Organic Cropping Systems: Turmeric-onion
- Application of Consortium biofertilizer @ 10 kg/ha in furrows at the time of planting sugarcane.
- In turmeric apply 12.5 tonnes FYM/ha before planting and 62.5 kg nitrogen / ha in two equal splits at 75 and 100 days after planting.
- Mentha can be planted on beds (67.5 cm apart) and ridges (60 cm apart) formed after broadcasting the suckers.
- Menthol mint variety Kosi: Introduction of high yielding variety Kosi of menthol mint (Mentha arvensis L.) along with its improved agronomic practices under irrigated conditions in Punjab.

- In soybean weeds can be controlled by post emergence application (15-20 DAS) of Parimaze 10 SL (imazethapyr)@ 450 ml/ha for control of mixed weeds flora including grasses, broadleaves and sedges.
- Application of paddy straw mulch at 6.0 t/ha has been recommended for weed control in autumn potato, as an alternate to herbicides.
