Fostering institutions for water conservation and management in Andhra Pradesh, India
Progress Report. Rainfed agriculture is a predominant land use pattern in the semi-arid dryland regions which is particularly vulnerable to climatic and socio-economic stresses. As a result of these stresses, degradation ...
Capacity strengthening on improved dryland technologies
The productivity in semi-arid tropics is low not because of lack of technologies, but mainly due to lack of awareness and knowledge amongst the farmers. Any initiative on promoting improved technologies can be successful ...
Soil test-based nutrient balancing improved crop productivity and rural livelihoods: case study from rainfed semi-arid tropics in Andhra Pradesh, India
Widespread multinutrient deficiencies in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) are among major factors for large gaps between farmers’ current crop yields and potential yields. In this study, we adopted stratified soil sampling ...
Managing soil fertility constraints in market-led shift to high value agriculture for benefiting smallholders in the semi-arid tropics
Low productivity and cultivation of low value crops in
the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is the main cause for
poor farm-based livelihoods. Poverty leading to low risktaking
ability of farmers and production related
