Assessment of risk premium in farm technology adoption as a climate change adaptation strategy in the dryland systems of India
Purpose: Changing climate has increasingly become a challenge for smallholder farmers.
Identification of technical, institutional and policy interventions as coping and adaptation
strategies, and exploring risks of their ...
Effects of Nitrogen Application on Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropical Zone of India
Sweet sorghum is a multipurpose crop that has great potential as a bioethanol crop. To make an appreciable
profit from cultivating sweet sorghum in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), such agronomic practices
as nutrient management ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Heavy metals concentration in soils under rainfed agro-ecosystems and their relationship with soil properties and management practices
Heavy metals are governed by parent material
of soils and influenced by the soil physicochemical properties
and soil and crop management practices. This paper
evaluates total heavy metal concentrations in rainfed soils
under ...
Nitrogen response and water use efficiency of sweet sorghum cultivars
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a biofuel crop, which can be grown under tropical rainfedconditions without sacrificing food and fodder security. Three sweet sorghum cultivars (CSH 22 SS, NTJ2 and ICSV 93046) ...
CALIBRATING CHLOROPHYLL METER (SPAD-502) READING BY SPECIFIC LEAF AREA FOR ESTIMATING LEAF NITROGEN CONCENTRATION IN SWEET SORGHUM
The chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502) is used to estimate nitrogen status of various crops. However,
the relationship between SPAD readings and leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) in sweet sorghum
(Sorghum bicolor) has not been ...
Improving Resource Use Efficiency of Cereal Based Cropping Systems with Integration of Best Management with Conservation Agriculture Under Changing Agricultural Scenarios in Cauvery Delta of Tamil Nadu
Cropping systems in Cauvery Delta Zone of Tamil Nadu is intensive rice based with double or triple rice crops in a year. The rice system in the region is threatened by yield stagnation, scarcity of water and labour, increased ...
Molybdenum status and critical limit in the soil for green gram (Vigna radiata) growing in Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu, India
A survey was undertaken during 2008 to determine molybdenum (Mo) status of soils and to establish critical
limits in soils of Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu. A total of 202 surface soil samples were
collected ...
