Conservation of blue/green water resources for intensification
Water scarcity is one of the major factor for low crop productivity in rainfed semi-arid tropics (SAT). Studies have indicated that one or two lifesaving irrigations can substantially enhance crop productivity. Enhancing ...
Implementation report on Cropping system intensification and resilience building
Cropping system intensification and resilience building
Farm typology specific intensification and diveriscation options including agro-silvi-horticulture with traditional rainwater harvesting systems
Based on farm typology analysis integrated farming system interventions were prioritized in participatory mode. A total six large agri horti units has been established and linked with RWHS (Rain water harvesting structures) ...
Diversification for Income and Nutrition
Low productivity and cultivation of low-value crops in the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is major cause for poor farm-based livelihoods. In this scenario, proper nutrition for children and women is also a rampant problem ...
Fodder resource development
Most of the farmers engaged in crop cultivation in semi-arid tropics (SAT) also rear cattle which is a major source of income. However, due to inadequate and low nutritious fodder resources, cattle productivity is very ...
Climate variability risk analysis, WUE and NUE for cropping systems based on historical as well as future climate change scenarios
Water is the most crucial input for agricultural production. Globally, agriculture accounts for more than 80% of all freshwater used by humans, most of that is for crop production. Currently most of the water used to grow ...
Harnessing green/blue water for agricultural intensification/diversification
Harnessing green water and blue water and Farm typology specific intensification and diversification options (like crops for Rainy season fallows, horticulture, etc)
NRM and institutional options for sustainable management of silvipasture systems on community and private lands for enhanced eco-system services
A key component of this project is the capacity development of all concerned stakeholders. In particular agro-pastoral communities with emphasis on woman. Research activity is developed with community involvement to insure ...
Medicinal plant value chain in arid region
Building on 2014 initiative, establish and strengthen the value chain of medicinal plant in Barmer. Cultivation of Shankpushpi and linking to Market:-
Production of this native medicinal crop is very low in this area. ...
Small farm mechanization
With current scenario of labour scarcity, and to develop agriculture on business lines, mechanization in modern agriculture is call of the day. On-farm mechanization is a scalable technology to improve productivity and ...
