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 ...
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 ...
Spatial BigData Analytics for intensification of pulses
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is not expected to increase significantly. Future increases in agricultural production, particularly pulses, will be contingent ...
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 ...
Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
Soil information system: web-based solution for agricultural land-use planning
The soil-forming factors, especially climate, vegetation
and topography, act on a range of rock formations
and parent materials leading to the development of
different kinds of soils. Through concerted efforts, soil
datasets ...
Natural chemical degradation of soils in the Indian semi-arid tropics and remedial measures
Most published research on soil degradation in general
emphasizes the role of anthropogenic factors.
Even among the natural soil degradation processes the
regressive pedogenic processes that lead to the formation
of CaCO3 ...
Sorghum: A Multipurpose Bioenergy Crop
Bioethanol and biodiesel produced from renewable energy sources are gaining
importance in light of volatile fossil fuel prices, depleting oil reserves, and increasing
greenhouse effects associated with the use of fossil ...
Soil and water management
Soil and water form the basis of all terrestrial life. Their resources vary widely and are affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Ancient civilizations and cultures emerged and sustained on good soils; and ...
