Functional Performance of Parallel Drain Subsurface System in Waterlogged Paddy Field

L. Kathirvel, M. Manikandan, A. Raviraj & M. Baskar · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2021

Waterlogging induced salinity is a common problem in many command areas of irrigation projects. Subsurface drainage improves the productivity of poorly drained soils by decreasing the water table, providing greater soil aeration, improving root zone soil salinity and enhancing th...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in the coastal region of Karaikal, India

K. Indu Bharathi, A. Shanthi & M. Manikandan · Journal of Scientific Research and Reports · 2024

Genetic divergence among 25 brinjal genotypes for 13 characters was evaluated in a breeding programme aimed at improving yield potential by using Mahalanobis D2 statistics. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters suggesting considerable amount of genetic diversity in the stu...

Evaluation of Drip Fertigation System for Aerobic Rice in Western Zone of Tamil Nadu

S. K. Natarajan, V. K. Duraisamy, G. Thiyagarajan & M. Manikandan · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2020

The productivity of rice is in decreasing trend due to non-availability of irrigation water. Hence, rice cultivation with minimum water which paves way for the research on aerobic rice (i.e., growing in the non-flooded and non-puddled situation). Field experiments were conducted...
