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 ...
Climate Change Challenge (3C) and Social-Economic-Ecological Interface-Building—Exploring Potential Adaptation Strategies for Bio-resource Conservation and Livelihood Development: Epilogue
Climate change is arguably the single most dominant environmental threat facing humanity. Its manifestations, particularly through
rising temperatures, changing rainfall, sealevel
rise and increasing droughts and floods ...
Geoinformatics applications in management of pests and diseases
Global change is become a norm and pose a serious threat to food and nutritional security
with increased concerns of pests and disease risks. The date palm are prone to several pests, and
some are invasively lethal to palm ...
Evaluation of Plant Growth Promoting Actinomycetes on Vigna
The legume genus Vigna are grown in warm temperate and tropical regions globally but are particularly crucial to human nutrition in
large parts of tropical Africa and Asia. It can also serve as forage crops. Among the Vigna ...
Climate Smart Agriculture for Building Resilience and Improving Livelihoods in Rainfed Areas
The biggest challenge, human kind facing in the 21st century is to cope up with the impacts of the climate change which is affecting
the sustainable development globally. The IPCC (Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change) ...
Screening wild vigna species and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) landraces for sources of resistance to striga gesnerioides
This chapter presents the results of a study conducted on the experimental field of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Minjibir, Kano State, Nigeria, during the planting seasons of 2012 and 2013 ...
Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Concepts and Methods of Global Assessment of the Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement
The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) initiative seeks to develop a
science basis for policy actions to address land degradation. The purpose of this
chapter is to provide with a conceptual framework and sound and ...
Annotation of Trait Loci on Integrated Genetic Maps of Arachis Species
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is second, behind soybean, in the world’s legume oilseed market. In 2012, global
production was 41.2metric tons from an area of 24.7million hectares (FAOSTAT, 2014). Yield of peanut ...
