Identification of potential rainwater-harvesting sites for the sustainable management of a semi-arid watershed
In the present study, the potential locations for constructing different water-harvesting structures in a semi-arid watershed located at Goparajpalli, in southern India, were derived using GIS in three stages. The locations ...
Farm level rainwater harvesting across different agro climatic regionsof India: Assessing performance and its determinants
tRainwater harvesting and its utilization have a very important role to play in harnessing the productionpotential within dryland systems. This study assesses the performance of small rainwater harvestingstructures ...
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 ...
Biological nitrification inhibition in sorghum: the role of sorgoleone production
Background and aims Nitrification and denitrification
are the two most important processes that contribute to
greenhouse gas emission and inefficient use of nitrogen.
Suppressing soil nitrification through the release of ...
Assessing village-level carbon balance due to greenhouse gas mitigation interventions using EX-ACT model
Under National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture (NICRA) project, a range of climate smart
agricultural practices were evaluated with on-farm
demonstrations during 2011–2013 in eight climatically
vulnerable ...
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 ...
