Bridging Yield Gaps with Science-led Interventions in Andhra Pradesh
Current productivity of agricultural crops in Andhra Pradesh is lower by twoto
fourfolds
as compared to the achievable potential yields.
Long term studies at ICRISAT based at Patancheru have demonstrated a virtuous cycle ...
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 ...
Mission to Enhance Productivity of Rainfed Crops in Karnataka
Rainfed areas in India generate 60% of agriculture produce, 75% of pulses and more than 90% of sorghum, millet, and groundnut
although these areas are the hot spots of poverty, water scarcity, droughts, land degradation, ...
Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
Landrace Germplasm for Improving Yield and Abiotic Stress Adaptation
Plant landraces represent heterogeneous, local adaptations of domesticated
species, and thereby provide genetic resources that meet current and new
challenges for farming in stressful environments. These local ecotypes ...
CicArVarDB: SNP and InDel database for advancing genetics research and breeding applications in chickpea
Molecular markers are valuable tools for breeders to help accelerate crop improvement. High throughput sequencing technologies facilitate the discovery of large-scale variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Intensification and resilience building: Evaluate High yielding and dual purpose crops/ varieties, integrated crop management ( cereals, legumes and cash crops))
A total of 124 Rabi demonstrations have been taken in seven targeted villages of CRP 1.1 The improved varieties were tested with or without recommended POP and the yield was compared with ...
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 ...
