In irrigated conditions of Rajasthan, genotypes DCH-177 and GCH-4 performed better at 150% RDF (120 kg N, 75 kg P2O5 and 30 kg S/ha) with reference to seed yield and economic returns. In South Saurashtra region of Gujarat under irrigated conditions, application of Trifluralin @ 1 kg a.i./ha as pre-emergence followed by quizalofop ethyl @ 0.05 kg a. i./ha as post-emergence resulted in the best weed control measure to realize higher seed yield and economic returns Maintain plant population of 9,260 plants/ha and adopt plant geometry of 120 x 90 cm spacing and application of 120 kg N/ha for improvement in seed yield for irrigated rabi castor (GCH 7) in South Gujarat Foliar application of 0.5% ZnSO4 twice (at 50 and 90 DAS) for increasing the seed yield (23.5%) with higher profitability under rainfed conditions of Telangana State Adoption of kharif maize-rabi castor cropping system recorded higher castor productivity and higher economic returns as compared to rabi castor alone in Telangana State Application of 20 kg P2O5 + seed treatment of castor with biophos @ 600g/kg seed in irrigated conditions of Haryana and U.P. application of 40 kg P2O5/ha + biophos @ 600g/kg seed in Saurashtra region of Gujarat and application of 20 kg P2O5/ha along with biophos @ 600g/kg seed in rainfed conditions of Telangana State recorded enhanced seed yield and economic returns Under loamy sands, GCH 7 castor hybrid in Rajasthan and DCH-177 in Haryana, adoption of 150 x 90 cm planting geometry with application of 20 kg K2O/ha resulted in realizing higher seed yield and economic returns In clay loam soils under rainfed conditions of Karnataka , foliar application of 0.5% ZnSO4 twice (at 50 and 90 DAS) was effective in realizing higher castor seed yield (12.3 %) with higher profitability (B: C ratio 3.4). In rainfed conditions of Tamil Nadu, seed treatment of castor with biophos @ 600g/kg seed + 60 kg P2O5 improved the seed yield (1768 kg/ha) and economic returns (B: C ratio 2.42). Castor hybrid, GNCH-1 developed by Navasari released for the state of Gujarat Development of IPM module to manage semilooper, spodoptera, capsule borer and leafhopper in castor. Application of clothianidin 50WDG @ 0.1g/l or acetamiprid 20SP @ 0.2g/l for management of sucking insect pests (leafhopper and thrips) in Telangana In irrigated conditions of Haryana, basal application of 40 kg P2O5 and seed treatment with PSB (Pseudomonas sp.) (20 ml/kg seed) resulted in higher seed yield (4138 kg/ha) and profitability (B: C ratio 3.12). In Saurashtra region of Gujarat, application of pendimethalin 1 kg/ha (6.7 ml/l) (pre-emergence) + quizalofop ethy1 0.05 kg/ha (2ml/l) (post – emergence at 25 DAS) + IC fb HW at 60 DAS resulted in effective weed management along with higher seed yield (4310 kg/ha) and higher profitability (B: C ratio 4.12). In north Gujarat, application of pendimethalin 1 kg a.i./ha (6.7 ml/l) (pre-emergence) + quizalofop ethy1 0.05 kg a.i. /ha (2ml/l) (post – emergence at 25 DAS) + IC fb HW at 60 DAS resulted in effective weed management along with higher seed yield (2744 kg/ha) and higher profitability in light textured soil Application of bioinsecticides viz., DOR Bt-127 SC formulation @ 3 ml/l or commercial Btk formulation (Delfin®) @ 1 g/l for management of semilooper and Spodoptera litura in castor. Application of flonicamid 50 WG @ 0.2 g/l or thiamethoxam 30 FS @ 0.5 ml/l or profenofos 50 EC @ 2.0 ml/l for management of whitefly in castor. Seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum Junagadh local isolate @ 10 g /kg and soil application of T. harzianum local isolate (1 kg mixed with 100 kg FYM incubated for a week and applied while seed dibbling) was found effective in reducing the root rot incidence and for high seed yield. Seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum, Th 4d WP 10 g/kg and soil application of T. harzianum, (1 kg T. harzianum mixed with 100 kg FYM incubated for a week and applied while seed dibbling) recorded comparatively low wilt incidence and high yield. Spraying of propiconazole 1ml/l two times, first spray at the onset of disease and second spray, 15 days after the first spray for effective management of gray rot and realizing higher seed yield and economic benefits. Adoption of Best Management Practices viz., YRCH-2 castor hybrid; ridges and furrow method of planting; seed treatment with PSB; soil test based fertilization, surveillance based IPM practices; harvesting by secateurs resulted in higher seed yield (1648 kg/ha), and higher profitability (B: C ratio 3.28) in clay loam soils of Tamil Nadu under rainfed conditions. Application of bioinsecticides viz., DOR Bt-127 SC @ 3 ml/l or commercial Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) @ 1g/l for management of semilooper and Spodoptera litura in castor.
