Inhibitory effects of butachlor, pretilachlor and 2,4-D on the population of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and enzymes studied in the rice rhizosphere were reported up to 14 days after herbicide application followed by gradual recovery thereafter. Co-application of herbicide and integrated nutrient management significantly increased the population of Azotobacter and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, enzyme activity, respiration and microbial biomass carbon compared to fertilizer application alone. Significantly higher K absorption was observed with 60 kg K2O ha-1 followed by 30 kg K2O ha-1 and 0 kg K2O ha-1. The interaction of P and K on phosphorus and potassium uptake was significant and the combined application of 80 kg P2O5 and 60 kg K2O ha-1 resulted in maximum P and K uptake by production.
Theme-2: Climate Resilient Agriculture
Stem cell research, especially in livestock species, is an area of research that is gaining momentum day by day due to its multidimensional potential. The main objective of advanced reproductive technologies in livestock reproduction is to increase reproductive efficiency and levels of genetic improvement. Carbon sequestration depends on the balance between carbon input and output to the soil. Contribution of Working Group II to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The majority of the farmers observed about late as well as low rainfall during monsoon (87% and 91%) and winter (81% and 81%) seasons. A very high percentage of respondents reported an increase in pest (95%) and disease (56%) infestations during climate variability that may be due to climate change. This study focuses on the analysis of the climate trend of the region for the period of.
Cropping system had minimal effect on non-labile carbon (NLC), carbon lability (LC) and carbon pool index (CPI) in the ecosystem.
Theme-3: Innovations in Organic, Traditional and Integrated Farming Systems
The eradication of shifting cultivation is not possible as it is the livelihood of the farmers, hence the Jhum improvement has been advocated as an option in recent years. For this, one of the promising options is to introduce an integrated farming system (IFS) on a wider scale to improve the livelihood of the farmers. The strengths and opportunities of the NEH region should be converted into practical and useful result-oriented changes to improve the livelihood among the farmers.
Opportunities and strategies for the NEH region to improve the livelihood of farmers based on cluster approach. This mixed farming must be converted to Integrated Farming System and subsequently to Intensive Integrated Farming System by the north-eastern farmers for sustainable utilization of the resources and development in the region. As a result, there is a sharp drop in the soil's bearing capacity per capital.
Integrated farming system has emerged as one of the important approaches of climate smart agriculture.

The state of Jharkhand is part of agro-climatic zone VII (eastern plains and hill region) of the country. The area assigned to different cropping sequences and different enterprises was to meet the food and nutritional requirements of the farm family as well as the animals in the model. Of the various components of the integrated farming system model, crops and livestock have contributed the most to total production.
This is one of the reasons for the slow progress of agricultural systems research in India and elsewhere (Jha, 2003). IFS Sustaining Farmer Incomes and Transforming Farmer Livelihoods: A Long-Term Case Study. Integrated Agriculture System (IFS) in the North Eastern Hill Region (NEHR) helps secure a sustainable production system for better livelihood, food and nutrition security of the mountain farmers with biodiversity value.
Most of the physico-chemical parameters of the lake turned out to be within acceptable limits for fish cultivation.
Theme-4: Horticulture for Nutrition and Assured Income
Quality planting materials: Since there is inadequate supply of quality planting materials and true to the type varieties are not maintained properly, a mechanism may be devised for regulating the
Bio-organic agents, bio-pesticides, integrated approach for pest and disease control and strategies for each farming system should be worked out.
Economics and technology transfer: The cost benefit analysis of different farming systems is required. There is immense need to strengthen the extension system for transfer of technologies and to
Despite various schemes and programs of the government for the popularization of spice crops, a lot needs to be done. Increasing purchasing power in emerging markets and confirmation of the health/nutritional benefits of cocoa have also led to a significant increase in global demand for cocoa. Pineapple is one of the important fruits that is commonly grown from lowland to mid-hills in Arunachal Pradesh.
Kew variety of pineapples grown as standard in the state as organic is one of the most popular and promising varieties among the growers due to its excellent quality characteristics. Evaluation of the physicochemical characteristics of underutilized Allium species (Allium hookeri Thw.) in Northeast region of India. The present investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSK HPKV Palampur to collect information on the relationship between downy mildew resistance and biochemical properties in cauliflower.
Citrus, a tropical and subtropical crop belongs to the family Rutaceae of the tribe Citrae, which consists of a large number of species and variety.
Theme-5: Crop Diversification and Conservation Agriculture
Abdoli et al., 2014). The fertilizer strategy for the agronomic biofortification of wheat with Zn increases the Zn concentrations not only at the whole grain level, but also specifically at the endosperm level, which is of critical importance for target populations that consume large amounts of white flour (Cakmak et al., 2010; Kutman et al., 2011a). Based on the meta-analysis of published data, Joy et al. 2015) reported that foliar Zn application is a cost-effective strategy to improve grain Zn in cereal crops, and the costs associated with foliar Zn treatments appear to be similar to the costs of flour fortification with Zn. Farmers are rapidly adopting this technology in some places. The adoption could have been faster if there were the machines for all the poor farmers of Northeast India. Thus, the crop diversification and conservation agricultural practices are becoming popular in many places of our state; break the monotony of traditional system of operations. The following mentioned yield and economic data have been presented in Table 1&2.
Foundation/certified seeds were sold during the October-November period each calendar year. The seeds were sown in the nursery beds in November and start transplanting in December to January. The Boro Paddy (summer rice) is harvested every year in May-June. The annual production of Boro rice seed is shown below:-. The post-harvest soil fertility status of different pea varieties was found to be improved in terms of agricultural techniques, minimum tillage and mulching. The post-harvest soil fertility status of different lentil varieties was found to be improved by agricultural techniques, minimum tillage and mulching.
Kodo (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) The present study was conducted with the aim of studying the effect of weed management on the growth and yield of transplanted kodo millet.
Theme-6: Livestock and Fishery for Sustainable Livelihood
However, the lack of availability of any of these technologies was a major challenge to overcome. The development of embryonic stem cell (ES) technologies is a new field. Earlier, MPEDA (Marine Products Export Development Authority), Kochi, Kerala made a first effort in Northeast India in 2004 and 2005 to promote the sector through training and demonstration program in collaboration with College of Fisheries, Assam Agricultural University, Raha (Das, 2004 ). Artificial insemination (AI) delivery models were developed in a participatory mode for disseminating superior germplasm to traditional smallholder pig production system in Northeast India. The information system was designed in such a way that AI was done at the farmer's door on demand in three models; 1) Direct linkage with farmers and 2) Linkage with trained youth (skilled AI contact persons).
The consumption per of poultry meat in India is estimated at around 3.6 kg per inhabitant per year, which is low compared to the world average of around 17 kg per inhabitant per year. The sector provides direct or indirect employment to 6.5 million people. The potential of these native birds in terms of egg production is only 70 to 80 eggs/bird/year and the meat production is also very less. The total demand for consumer eggs in this region is estimated to be 819 crores per year as per ICMR recommendation of 180 eggs per person per year. Formulation of balanced feed with the locally available cheaper raw material is a major challenge to reduce the cost of farming. Improved quality chickens are one of the most important critical inputs to backyard poultry production.
The grain that the fresh brewer feeds to the animals contains 27.66% dry matter, 6.98% protein, 10.54% crude fiber, 3.33% ether extract and 3.2% ash (Ramesh Chandra et. al. 2010). The experiments were conducted in the dairy farms of selected farmers in Saramsa and Nandok area of Eastern District of Sikkim.
Theme-7: Frontiers in Plant and Animal Health Management Including One Health Concept
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 1.5 million cancers each year, or about 15 percent of the total, are related to microbes. Isolation of influenza virus as the causative organism of a pig disease with clinical signs similar to those in humans first described at the time of the human pandemic of 1918 (Dorset et al., 1922). Review of the emergence of viral diseases to date indicates that many of these viruses already existed in nature and they gained access to new host populations due to changing ecological or environmental conditions.
Which virus from the collection of SIVs and other primate lentiviruses will emerge in the future cannot be predicted. the western United States is another example of the zoonotic introduction of emerging infectious diseases. Awareness of the potential threats posed by EIDs to wildlife, to wildlife themselves, to humans and domesticated animals, and to the conservation of biodiversity; is due to (i) the increased incidence of disease outbreaks in endangered species and in humans due to EIDs in the wild, (ii) advances in veterinary diagnostics and care, (iii) advances in host-pathogen biology , including the host-pathogen interface, and (iv) understanding the important role of wildlife in biodiversity conservation. The setbacks in agriculture have also helped raise awareness of the importance of wildlife EIDs in the evolution and maintenance of the ecosystem.
Regardless of the underlying objective, the tools and components of a control system are essentially the same, although there may be differences in the degree of emphasis placed on different components.
