Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana: Enhancing Impact through Demand Driven Innovations
The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, has launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana
(PMKSY) to address India’s key agricultural challenges in the 21st century i.e., to reduce poverty ...
Climate Change Adaption and Mitigation - Role of Extension
Evidences over the past few decades show that significant changes in climate are taking place all over the world as a result of
enhanced human activities in deforestation, emission of various greenhouse gases, and ...
Resilience of the semi-arid tropical soils
Soils in the semiarid
tropics (SAT) are subject to chemical degradation mostly due to climatic reasons which make the pedoenvironment
hostile to form calcium carbonate. This triggers an overall deterioration of soil ...
Variable indicators for optimum wavelength selection in diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of soils
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in 350–2500 nm wave length range is fast emerging as a rapid and
non-invasive technique for analyzing multiple soil attributes. Because the spectral reflectance values in ...
ICRISAT, India soils: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Associated red and black soils are common in the Deccan
plateau and the Indian peninsula. The red soils
are formed due to the progressive landscape reduction
process and black soils due to the aggradation processes;
and ...
Land use and cropping effects on carbon in black soils of semi-arid tropical India
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and rainfall are generally
positively related, whereas a negative relationship
between soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and rainfall with
some exception is observed. Land use pattern in black
soil ...
Soil mapping and variety-based entry-point interventions for strengthening agriculture-based livelihoods – exemplar case of ‘Bhoochetana’ in India
Soil health diagnosis in nearly 100,000 farmers’ fields under ‘Bhoochetana’ initiative in Karnataka showed widespread soil degradation.
Soil mappingbased
fertilizer management was an effective entrypoint
intervention to ...
Nitrogen response of sweet sorghum genotypes during rainy season
Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a smart biofuel crop, which can be grown under tropical rainfed conditions without
sacrificing food and fodder security. Three sweet sorghum cultivars (viz. ICSA 52 ? SPV 1411, ...
Rythu Kosam (Andhra Pradesh Primary Sector Mission). Baseline Summary Report.
Andhra Pradesh has set a target for itself of becoming one of the top three states in India by 2022, in terms of socioeconomic
development and ease of doing business. The state aspires to achieve the status of a developed ...
Comparison of data mining approaches for estimating soil nutrient contents using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in wavelength range of 350–2500 nm is emerging as a rapid and noninvasive
approach for estimating soil nutrient content. The success of the DRS approach relies on the ability ...
