Fodder resource development
Most of the farmers engaged in crop cultivation in semi-arid tropics (SAT) also rear cattle which is a major source of income. However, due to inadequate and low nutritious fodder resources, cattle productivity is very ...
Climate variability risk analysis, WUE and NUE for cropping systems based on historical as well as future climate change scenarios
Water is the most crucial input for agricultural production. Globally, agriculture accounts for more than 80% of all freshwater used by humans, most of that is for crop production. Currently most of the water used to grow ...
