Multiple Impact of Integrated Watershed Management in Low Rainfall Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study from Eastern Rajasthan, India
The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded
natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is ...
Evaluation of Advanced Potato Clones for Drought Tolerance in Arid Zone in Rajasthan, India
Potato is a cool season crop and
requires optimum soil moisture throughout
its growing period and its productivity is
hampered to a great extent in absence of these
favorable conditions (Cabello et al., 2013).
Exploitation ...
Agronomic improvements can make future cereal systems in South Asia far more productive and result in a lower environmental footprint
South Asian countries will have to double their food production by 2050 while using resources more efficiently and
minimizing environmental problems. Transformative management approaches and technology solutions will ...
Genetic Diversity in Lens Species Revealed by EST and Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity ...
Diversity Analysis among Chickpea Genetic Stock as Revealed Through STMS Marker Analysis
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide useful information for the selection of parental material and thus help in planning breeding strategies.In the present study, a total of 57 STMS loci were analyzed ...
Natural chemical degradation of soils in the Indian semi-arid tropics and remedial measures
Most published research on soil degradation in general
emphasizes the role of anthropogenic factors.
Even among the natural soil degradation processes the
regressive pedogenic processes that lead to the formation
of CaCO3 ...
Development and Characterization of Recombinent Inbreed lines for Seed Related Traits in Chickpea
Seed traits are very important factors in improving yield and productivity of chickpea. However being
quantitative in nature, gains through direct selection for these traits particularly for bolder seed size with higher ...
Inter-row tillage for improved soil and water conservation and crop yields on crusted Alfisols
In the semi-arid tropics (SAT), 33% areas are oc- cupied by Alfisols and related soils. In SAT these soils have low structural stability and thereby tend to form seal and crusts at the surface. Due to this a large proportion ...
Soil information system: use and potentials in humid and semi-arid tropics
The articles presented in this special section emanated from the researches of consortium members of the National Agricultural
Innovative Project (NAIP, Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), ...
Effects of conservation agriculture on crop productivity and water-use efficiency under an irrigated pigeonpea – wheat cropping system in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains
In search of a suitable resource conservation technology under pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on crop productivity ...
