(A) CROP PRODUCTION:
1. Recommendation for farming community
Response of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizers on rice ( Oryza sativa L.) under middle Gujarat condition.
The farmers of AES-V (Nawagam area) and AES-II (Thasra area) of middle Gujarat agro Climatic Zone growing paddy (GAR 13) are recommended to fertilize the crop only with120 kg N/ha. Whereas 100 kg N/ha. For farmers of AES-III (Dabhoi area) to get higher yield and net return. Application of phosphorus is not beneficial to the crop

(B) CROP PROTECTION:
AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY:
1. Recommendation for farming community
Title- : Evaluation of new molecules of insecticides against leaf folder of paddy.
Farmers of middle Gujarat growing transplanted rice are recommended to spray flubendiamide 480 SC 0.015 per cent (3 ml/10 litre of water; 72 g a.i./ha) or indoxacarb 15.8 EC 0.015 per cent (10 ml/10 litre of water; 79 g a.i./ha) or acephate 75 SP 0.075 per cent (10 g/10 litre of water; 375 g a.i./ha) for the control of leaf folder at iniation of pest incidence.

Title- : Evaluation of different miticides against paddy mites.
One spray of spiromecifen 240 SC, 0.024 per cent (10 ml/10 litre of water, 120 g.a.i./ha) or propargite 57 EC, 0.057 per cent (10 ml/10 litre of water, 285 g.a.i./ha) or fenpyroximate 5 SC, 0.005 per cent (10 ml/10 litre of water, 25 g.a.i./ha) at the time of initiation of yellow leaf mite of paddy was found effective.
