Challenges in the Dryland Agricultural Production Systems of South Asia: Research Priorities and Strategies
Dryland (arid and semi-arid) ecosystems occupy more than 41% of global land area and are home to 2.5 billion people. More than 50% of South Asia’s dryland ecosystems are located in India. Drylands contribute about 40% of ...
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 ...
Analysis Of Genotype X Environment Interaction In Rain-Fed Durum Wheat Of Iran Using Gge-Biplot And Non-Parametric Methods
Mohammadi, R. and Amri, A. 2012. Analysis of genotype x environment interaction in rain-fed durum wheat of Iran using GGE-biplot and non-parametric methods. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 757-770. Multi-environment trials (MET) ...
The role of limited irrigation and advanced management on improving water productivity of rainfed wheat at semi-cold region of upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on
improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping
seasons of wheat at multiple farms across ...
Improved winter wheat genotypes for Central and West Asia
High grain yield and resistance to stripe (yellow) rust are the most important traits for successful adoption of winter wheat varieties in Central and West Asia. This study was conducted to determine the stripe rust response ...
Climate change and resilient dryland systems: experiences of ICRISAT in Asia and Africa
The article reviews and summarizes the climate change mitigation and adaptation work undertaken by ICRISAT. The effects of climate
change are already being experienced in several parts of the world. Even though the effects ...
Genotype × environment interaction and genetic improvement for yield and yield stability of rainfed durum wheat in Iran
The genotype × environment (GE) interaction influences genotype selection and recommendations. Consequently, the objectives of genetic improvement should include obtaining genotypes with high potential yield and stability ...
Soil fertility in flooded and non-flooded irrigated rice systems
The lowland rice system in Asia makes a major contribution to the global rice
supply and is often cited as an example of a sustainable system in which two or
three crops of rice are grown in sequence under submerged ...
Hedonic Analysis of Price Expectations of Goat Producers in Afghanistan: Implications for Production and Marketing Decisions
The authors describe the goat markets in Afghanistan by analyzing goat producers’ price expectations and by identifying the factors that determine these price expectations. Data on expected prices for goats transacted were ...
Diversification of rice (Oryza sativa L.) based cropping systems for higher productivity, resource-use efficiency and economic returns in South Gujarat of India
Continuous adoption of rice-rice cropping system has led to deterioration of soil quality
resulting in a serious threat to its sustainability in high rainfall zone of South Gujarat, India.
Therefore crop diversification ...
