Influence of crop rotation and liming on greenhouse gas emissions from a semiarid soil
Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered ...
Rain-fed Agriculture, Area and Extent
Rainfed areas, although vary from region to region, are important in terms of agriculture since most of the poor communities live in
these areas. Rainfed agriculture (RFA) is fragile due to climatic vagaries. More than 90 ...
Evaluation of Feed Resources in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Mali in West Africa
Livestock are important assets to the rural poor in developing countries but are faced with the major
challenge of marked seasonal feed availability. A study was carried out to assess existing and potential
feed resources ...
Extractable soil nutrient effects on feed quality traits of crop residues in the semiarid rainfed mixed crop–livestock farming systems of Southern India
In the mixed crop–livestock systems, while general relation among feed
quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the
effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) ...
Multiple Impact of Integrated Watershed Management in Low Rainfall Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study from Eastern Rajasthan, India
The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded
natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is ...
Assessing impact of Climatic Variability on Crop Yields in Rajasthan
The paper analyzes yield sensitivity of major rainfed crops namely pearl millet, sorghum and maize to climatic variability in Rajasthan, the driest state of India. The yield time series data for the three selected crops ...
Climate Change Adaption and Mitigation - Role of Extension
Evidences over the past few decades show that significant changes in climate are taking place all over the world as a result of
enhanced human activities in deforestation, emission of various greenhouse gases, and ...
Normalized differential vegetation index
Normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) derived MODIS time series data from 2000-2014
Long-term annual burning of grassland increases CO2 emissions from soils
Grasslands have potential to mitigate against climate change because of their large capacity to store soil organic
carbon (SOC). However, the long-term impact of grassland management such as burning, which is still common
in ...
FtF Climate-Smart Agroforestry Technologies Scaling-up in Mali
Scaling-up Climate-Smart Agroforestry Technologies for improved market access, food and nutritional security in Mali (SmAT-Scaling) aims at strengthening the value chain of tree products, improving the nutritional status ...
