Operationalizing inclusive innovation: Lessons from innovation platforms in livestock value chains in India and Mozambique
Various authors have identified the potential relevance of innovation system approaches for inclusive innovation, that is, the means by which new goods and services are developed for and by the poor. However, it is still ...
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 ...
Sustainable use of natural resources for crop intensification and betterlivelihoods in the rainfed semi-arid tropics of Central India
tIn Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) in general and central part i.e. Madhya Pradesh state specifically; thereare large yield gaps in most of the rainfed crops between current farmers’ yields and achievable ones.Soil fertility ...
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 ...
Role of crop competition in managing weeds in rice, wheat, and maize in India: A review
In India, the three staple food crops viz., rice, wheat, and maize, contribute more than four-fifths of the
total food grain production. Among the several factors limiting their productivity, weeds account for
about 40%. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Long term effect of conservation agriculture in maize rotations on total organic carbon, physical and biological properties of a sandy loam soil in north-western Indo- Gangetic Plains
Maize-based crop rotations are advocated as alternate to rice-based systems in South Asia due to better suitability for diverse ecologies, higher yields with less water use and more palatable maize fodder compared to rice, ...
Georeferenced soil information system: assessment of database
Landuse
planning is a decisionmaking
process that facilitates the allocation of land to different uses that provide optimal and
sustainable benefit. As landuse
is shaped by society–nature interaction, in landuse
planning ...
Selection of Hyperspectral Narrowbands (HNBs) and Composition of Hyperspectral Twoband Vegetation Indices (HVIs) for Biophysical Characterization and Discrimination of Crop Types Using Field Re ectance and Hyperion/EO-1 Data
The overarching goal of this study was to establish
optimal hyperspectral vegetation indices (HVIs) and hyperspectral
narrowbands (HNBs) that best characterize, classify, model,
and map the world’s main agricultural crops. ...
