Improvement of cereal-based cropping systems following the principles of conservation agriculture under changing agricultural scenarios in Bangladesh
In the Eastern Gangetic Plains of Bangladesh, the cropping systems are predominantly rice based, having
large yield gaps in farmers’ fields because of poor management practices adopted by farmers. The
increasing scarcity ...
Assessing village-level carbon balance due to greenhouse gas mitigation interventions using EX-ACT model
Under National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture (NICRA) project, a range of climate smart
agricultural practices were evaluated with on-farm
demonstrations during 2011–2013 in eight climatically
vulnerable ...
Modeling the soil-water-crop-atmosphere system to improve crop and water productivity in Stage II of Indira Gandhi Canal Command Area
The study entitled “Modelling the Soil-Water-Crop-Atmosphere System to Improve Land and Water Productivity in Stage II of IGNP” was carried out at village Amarpura (Bajju), Bikaner, Rajasthan, during 'kharif' and 'rabi' ...
Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitor ingestion negatively impacts the growth of sorghum pest Chilo partellus and promotes differential protease expression
Background: Chilo partellus is an important insect pest infesting sorghum and maize. The larvae internalize in
the stem, rendering difficulties in pest management. We investigated the effects of Capsicum annuum
proteinase ...
Pasture degradation effects on soil quality indicators at different hillslope positions in a semiarid region of western Iran
A study was made to determine the influence of
pasture degradation on soil quality indicators that included
physical, chemical, biological and micromorphological
attributes, along the hillslope positions in Chaharmahal ...
Integrated runoff and soil loss monitoring unit for small agricultural watersheds
Runoff and sediment flow behaviors from small agricultural watersheds on Alfisols and Vertic Inceptisols,
and their implications for the design of a runoff and soil loss monitoring unit are discussed. It was
observed that ...

Soil information system: web-based solution for agricultural land-use planning
The soil-forming factors, especially climate, vegetation
and topography, act on a range of rock formations
and parent materials leading to the development of
different kinds of soils. Through concerted efforts, soil
datasets ...
Implementing the strategy for the conservation through use of underutilised crops in the Pacific
The Pacific region, home to an estimated 9.5 million people, is geographically, ecologically, sociologically and economically diverse. The region also faces numerous social and physical challenges simply by nature of the ...
Productivity enhancement of salt-affected environments through crop diversification
Recent trends and future demographic projections suggest that the need to produce more food and fibre will necessitate effective utilization of salt-affected land and saline water resources. Currently at least 20 per cent ...
