Heavy metals concentration in soils under rainfed agro-ecosystems and their relationship with soil properties and management practices
Heavy metals are governed by parent material
of soils and influenced by the soil physicochemical properties
and soil and crop management practices. This paper
evaluates total heavy metal concentrations in rainfed soils
under ...

Soil test-based nutrient balancing improved crop productivity and rural livelihoods: case study from rainfed semi-arid tropics in Andhra Pradesh, India
Widespread multinutrient deficiencies in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) are among major factors for large gaps between farmers’ current crop yields and potential yields. In this study, we adopted stratified soil sampling ...
Managing soil fertility constraints in market-led shift to high value agriculture for benefiting smallholders in the semi-arid tropics
Low productivity and cultivation of low value crops in
the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is the main cause for
poor farm-based livelihoods. Poverty leading to low risktaking
ability of farmers and production related
constraints ...
