Evaluation of CropSyst model for clusterbean under hot arid condition
The study on “Evaluation of Cropsyst model for yield and water productivity of clusterbean” was conducted on farmers
field during kharif 2012 at village Mainawali in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan. The soils of the area ...
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 ...
Evaluation of CropSyst Model for Simulating Green Area Index, Soil Water and Yield of Psyllium in Hyper Arid Partially Irrigated Zone of Rajasthan
Cropping systems model (CropSyst) was calibrated using the experimental data
of crop parameters, soil profile data and observed daily weather data of experimental
site for 2012-13 and validated the experimental data of ...
Seed germination behaviour as influenced by physical and chemical treatments in Grewia tenax (Forssk.)
Grewia tenax (Forssk.) Fiori is a multi-purpose shrub indigenous to Indian Thar desert. It grows naturally in the wastelands, rangelands and other uncultivated lands during the rainy season, and provides green fodder to ...
Crops that feed the world 11. Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.): an important source of food security, nutrition and health in the arid and semi-arid tropics
Pearl millet is a major cereal in the arid and semiarid
regions of Asia and Africa. It is primarily cultivated for
grain production, but its stover is also valued as dry fodder.
Pearl millet is resilient to climate change ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic

Relative Yield, Profit and Water Productivity of Crops in IGNP Stage-I
The choice of an appropriate crop and cropping systems is essential for achieving
higher yield, profit and resource use efficiencies. Yield, returns and water productivity
are important factors for determining suitability ...
Impact Assessment of New Pearl Millet Technology in Arid Rajasthan
This paper has assessed the impact of high-yielding short-duration pearl-millet hybrid on farmers’ income
in the arid region of Rajasthan. The decomposition of total change in net returns has shown that adoption
of modern ...
