• Developed mini pan evaporimeter for irrigation scheduling in Eastern India (Odisha state).
• Mango intercropped with a pineapple under drip irrigation with rice straw mulch recommended for pre-bearing mango orchards of eastern India.
• A regression equation was developed between the NDVI-ASD and NDVI-GS to compute the NDVI of ASD from that computed by GS.
• Standardized nitrogen dose and irrigation scheduling higher yield, grain protein content and WUE in the semi-arid environment of Delhi.
• WBI based model compared to RNDVI, GNDVI and SR was found as the better predictor of grain and biomass yield of wheat.
