Challenges in the Dryland Agricultural Production Systems of South Asia: Research Priorities and Strategies
Dryland (arid and semi-arid) ecosystems occupy more than 41% of global land area and are home to 2.5 billion people. More than 50% of South Asia’s dryland ecosystems are located in India. Drylands contribute about 40% of ...
Empirical evaluation of sustainability of divergent farms in the dryland farming systems of India
The present study argues that there are heterogeneous farm systems within the drylands and each farm
system is unique in terms of its livelihood asset and agricultural practice, and therefore in sustainability.
Our method ...
Soil fertility in flooded and non-flooded irrigated rice systems
The lowland rice system in Asia makes a major contribution to the global rice
supply and is often cited as an example of a sustainable system in which two or
three crops of rice are grown in sequence under submerged ...
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 ...
