Effects of crop establishment methods and irrigation schedules on productivit...fatehsekhon
Rice is the staple food for more than half of the global population. In India, it is grown on an area of about 43.97 m ha with total production and productivity of about 104.32 mt and 2.37 t/ha respectively (Anonymous 2013). In Punjab, it occupied an area of 2.82 m ha with production and productivity of 10.54 mt and 3.74 t/ha respectively and in Haryana, it was grown on an area of 1.24 m ha with production and productivity of 3.76 mt and 3.02 t/ha respectively (Anonymous 2013).
The most common practice for establishing rice in rice wheat system of indo-gangatic plains region is puddling before transplanting. Alternative to traditional method direct seeding may be adopted because it does not require that heavy amount of labour, water and capital input initially and also crop mature earlier (7-10 days) than transplanted crop allowing timely sowing of succeeding wheat crop. Recent research suggests that new methods of rice establishment, viz zero till rice, bed planting and SRI has potential to reduce cost and increase sustainability of irrigated rice culture while maintaining yield.
Irrigation plays a pivotal role in increasing productivity of rice. The efficiency and productivity of irrigation water is quite low owing to percolation losses and high water requirement. There is an urgent need to save water and increase its efficiency in rice production. Various agronomic practice like proper land levelling, proper transplanting time, selection of suitable variety and increasing interval between successive irrigation can play a lead role in water saving and to obtain sustainable yield of the crop. The sustainability of rice production in north-west India is threatened by scarcity of water. So there is need to increase water use efficiency in rice production.
Gangwar and Singh (2010) resulted that among different crop establishment methods, highest yield and yield attributing characters of rice was obtained with drum seeding wet bed method. Gill et al (2006) revealed that dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, effective tillers and grain yield were significantly more in direct seeding than transplanted rice. Water productivity in direct seeded rice was higher as compared to transplanted rice clearly showing the more water use efficiency in DSR. Jagtap et al (2013) concluded that the crop established by transplanting recorded significantly higher growth as well as yield attributes resulting in to significantly more grain and straw yield. Grain yield found to be highest in Japanese manual transplanted rice followed by dry drilling (30 kg/ha), dry drilling (15 kg/ha) and drum seeding (Dixit et al 2010). Singh et al (2005) found that mechanical transplanting of rice resulted in highest grain and straw yield which was at par with manual transplanting but significantly higher than both direct seeding methods.

A presentation briefing about the economics of greenhouse production of Capsicum.
A Greenhouse is an integrated solution that provide us with an ideal environment for cultivation all year round.
Vermicomposting is a process in which the earthworms convert the organic waste into manure rich in high nutritional content. The purpose of this presentation is to present a detailed business plan on What it takes to start a vermicompost farm with a detailed budget plan and profit generation. The slides contain an Introduction to vermicompost, Market demand for vermicompost, requirements, budget, illustration of costing, revenue analysis, and at last conclusion.
The proposed project is off-season vegetable farming unit, spreading over a land area of 7.5 acres in Tehsil Klor Kot Zilla Bhakar. Off-season vegetables are proposed to be cultivated in this project using tunnel technology. The three vegetables assumed to be cultivated in this particular project are watermelon, melon and pumpkin. There is great demand of vegetables all year round and the price is high at the start of the season and at the end of the season. If modern techniques are applied to grow off season vegetable, high prices can be fetched. Using tunnel technology, in which temperature and moisture is controlled for specific growth of vegetables. As the landholding power of farmers is decreasing, they need to increase the productivity of their available land, off-season vegetable farming is a measure through which they can attain higher profit margins from the crop. Tunnel farming is gaining popularity, and being practiced in different areas of Punjab like, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Okara, Sahiwal. The total initial cost for setting up the low tunnel farm is estimated at Rs. 1.338 million. The legal business status of this project is proposed as Partnership. The estimated yield potential of the farm varies according to the selected type of vegetable. The proposed vegetable mix is watermelon, melon and pumpkin each cultivated on 2.5 acres of land. The quantity of seeds sown each year on 7.5 acres of land is 750 grams watermelon seeds, 1,000 grams of muskmelon seeds and 2,000 grams of pumpkin seeds. The estimated produce would be 51 tones of watermelon, 53 tones melon and 38 tones of pumpkin excluding 15% wastage.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
