The adoption of a portfolio of sustainable agricultural practices by smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe
Climate change and variability and soil fertility depletion are among the main biophysical limiting factors for increasing per capita food production for smallholder farmers in developing countries. To tackle these challenges, ...
Incidence of blast in exotic fingermillet germplasm grown in post-entry quarantine isolation area
The National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) has been functioning as a nodal organization for introduction and exchange of plant genetic resources of varied agri-horticultural crops for research purposes. The ...
Effect of foliar applications of micronutrient and methanol on seed yield of soybean
The foliar application of micronutrients and organic solvents at critical stages of the crop will be effectively absorbed by the sources and translocated to the developing sinks, producing more number of pods and better ...
Gene introgression in grain legumes
The wild species of grain legumes are valuable gene pools, particularly for resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. These have largely remained under-utilized due to crossability barriers, but there are some examples ...
Assisting smallholder farmers in mixed crop-livestock systems to understand the potential effects of technologies and climate change through participatory modeling
Smallholder farming systems in the semiarid
areas of Zimbabwe are characterized by low production. This low production is not solely
due to lack of technologies but also due to a lack of integrating a diversity of viewpoints ...
A Multi-Model Systems Approach for Identifying Low Emissions Development Pathways– Analyzing Synergies and Trade-offs in Semiarid Agriculture in India
Food security in the face of changing climate has pushed governments and development actors to focus efforts on improving adaptation, however, going forward besides adaptation, mitigation efforts to reduce GHG emissions ...
Institutionalizing governance arrangements for sustainable management of community based silvipasture systems in arid ecoregions in Rajasthan, India
In arid parts of Rajasthan rural households heavily depend on Common Property Resources (CPRs) especially community silvi-pastures systems. Such common grazing areas have, however, become severely degraded making in ...
Pre-empting aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in Northern Nigeria: Case study of the groundnut value chain
The current emphasis by the government of Nigeria on boosting . agricultural productivity requires actors of the agricultural sector to develop sustainable agro-allied technologies that could enhance the quality of ...
Impact of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on seed yield and quality of soybean
An exposure of seeds to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEF) before planting is known to change and stimulate a series of biochemical and biological effects in the seeds. The plants raised from such PEF treated seeds are ...
