Farming & Management

Aims :

Farming & Management (abbreviated title: Farm. Manage.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing original research papers, review articles and short communications in English on all basic and applied aspects of crop sciences, agricultural water management, agro-climatology, agroforestry, agronomy, crop production, crop protection, cropping systems, food science & technology, genetics & plant breeding, horticulture, plant & soil science, plant biotechnology, plant nutrition, post-harvest management of crops, seed science, soil management & tillage, vegetables, weed science, agricultural engineering, agri-business, agricultural economics and extension, etc. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for the scientific community to publish their latest research findings. The manuscripts submitted for publication should not contain data older than 4 years on the date of submission. The articles submitted for publication in this journal should not be submitted elsewhere simultaneously for publication in another journal. These should not carry any copyright material without prior permission of copyright holder. The articles should present a complete picture of the investigation made and should not be split into parts. There is no prescribed limit regarding the number of pages in case of full-length articles. However, the authors are advised to keep the length of their articles from 4 to 10 full printed pages of the journal. The articles should be divided into the sub-sections: ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, and REFERENCES. Tables and figures should be appended separately at the end.

Current Issue (0 articles)

Manuscripts should be in English and prepared on the following lines:

Title: Title should be brief, specific, informative and, scientific name(s) of crops or organisms studied should be written in italics/ underlined. It should be set in small and bold letters.

Short Title: A short title, not exceeding 60 characters should be given for running headlines.

Authors: Names of authors to be typed, in capitals unaccompanied by their degrees, titles etc.

Address: Address of the institution where the study was carried out be given below the name(s) of author(s). Present address and email of corresponding author should be given as footnote on the first page indicating by asterisk the author to whom the correspondence is to be addressed.

Abstract: Abstract need to be introduce in three parts (Background/Methods/Results). The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The Abstract should be in about 250 to 300 words. Standard nomenclature should be used, and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.

Key words: Following the abstract, key words not more than 6 that will provide indexing references should be listed and in alphabetical order.

Introduction: This should be brief, and the review of the literature should be pertinent to the theme of the paper. Extensive review and unnecessary detail of earlier work should be avoided. It should briefly describe the latest and current available information on the subject, duly supported by relevant and recent references.Do not use more than 10 years old references except landmark references in that field.

 

Materials and Methods: This section should contain the materials and methods used in the experiment. It should begin with details relating to place of study, period/season/year, climate or prevailing weather conditions, experimental materials used and other details as relevant to the study. Treatment details along with techniques and experimental design, replications, plot size etc. should be clearly indicated. Use of symbols for treatments should be fully explained at its’ first mention. This section should specify the methodology for application of experimental treatments. The specific observations recorded during the experiment should be described properly. Avoid detailed description of known methods of analysis. However, any new technique developed and followed should be described in detail. References for methods used in the study should be cited.

            All statistical comparisons among treatments may be made at P=0.05 level of probability. Correlation and regression analysis should be given in appropriate cases.

Results and Discussion: It should be combined to avoid repetition. The results should not be repeated in both tables and figures. Results should be reported under suitable sub-headings and discussed together to avoid duplication. Discussion should be strengthened by explaining treatment effects in terms of cause-and-effect relationship. Explain how the results relate to previous findings. When the results differ from previously available information, possible explanations should be given. Controversial issues should be discussed clearly and fairly. The relevant references should be suitably cited for discussion of the results.

Tables: Each table should be numbered consecutively in the same order as they are mentioned in text.Table numbers followed by the title should be written on the top of table. The title must describe the contents of the table fully and explain any symbol or abbreviation used in it as a footnote, using small letters viz. a, b, c and so on or asterisksTables should be self-explanatory but not very large (< 10 and 14 columns in portrait and land scape formats, respectively).The large sized tables should be split into two or more small tables.Use standard abbreviations of units of different parameters in tables.Vertical lines in tables should not be used to separate columns.Horizontal lines in tables should be used only where necessary.

 

Figures: Instead of tables, figures may be drawn where a large number of values/data are presented. The same data should not be presented in both tables and figures.Line drawings/photographs should contain figure number and description thereof as a footnote of figures.Originals of the figures should not be larger than twice the final size, of good quality.The figures should be sized to fit within the columns of the journal.Extremely small font and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided.Only standard abbreviations should be used. For pesticides names, the first letter should not be capitalized. The trade names should be capitalized.All weights and measurements must be in SI or metric units.Use kg/ha, or t/ha (if more than 999 kg/ha). Similarly, prefer use of g/ha, mg/kg, mg/l, mg/g, ml/l etc. rather than % or ppm. Do not follow the style kg ha-1 or t ha-1.Use % after numbers, not per-cent, e.g., 7%.In a series or range of measurements, mention the units only at end e.g., use 20, 60, 100 and 2000C; 30 or 40% more, instead of 20C, 60C, 100C and 200C; 30% or 40% more.

Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis of data in the standard experimental design should be sound and complete in itself with both SEm+ and CD or LSD (P=0.05) values given for comparison of treatment means in tables and figures.

Conclusion: This section should clearly explain the summary of the results obtained and their impact in solution of the practical problems and contribution to scientific knowledge. Suggest areas for further investigation.The word 'Conclusion' should be typed as a separate heading. It should not be written in more than 8 sentences.

Acknowledgement: If necessary, the authors may place on record the help and cooperation or any financial help received from any source, person or organization for the study. This should be very brief.

No need to mention issue number along with volume number.For book or monograph, the name of the publisher should also be given as well as its volume, edition and relevant pages.The references cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically (e.g., Singh, 2008; Patil et al., 2014; Singh and Maiti, 2017; Nguyen and Tran, 2019). The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on author's names, and chronologically per author.References from standard scientific journals should be preferred, while those concerning unpublished data are generally to be avoided.
