Individual and combined effects of transient drought and heat stress on carbon assimilation and seed filling in chickpea
High temperatures and decreased rainfall are detrimental to yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), particularly
during grain filling. This study aimed to (i) assess the individual and combined effects of drought and heat ...
Need to strengthen analytical support in agricultural research
The need for analytical support in agricultural
research has long been recognized,
especially in the context of soil
fertility evaluation and nutrient management,
and crop quality assessment and
monitoring for selecting ...
Molybdenum status and critical limit in the soil for green gram (Vigna radiata) growing in Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu, India
A survey was undertaken during 2008 to determine molybdenum (Mo) status of soils and to establish critical
limits in soils of Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu. A total of 202 surface soil samples were
collected ...
Adaptive Policy Responses to Climate Change Scenarios in the Musi Catchment, India
In India the stresses on water resource systems have increased, due in part to increased demand for scarce water supplies. Yet, what could be of greater concern is the potential long-run threats of climate change affecting ...
Soil information system: use and potentials in humid and semi-arid tropics
The articles presented in this special section emanated from the researches of consortium members of the National Agricultural
Innovative Project (NAIP, Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), ...
INTELLIGENT OBJECT BASED SMOOTHING: AN ALGORITHM FOR REMOVING NOISES IN THE CLASSIFIED SATELLITE IMAGE
The existing smoothing algorithms like mean, median, majority/mode filters are not efficient in smoothing the classified image derived from the satellite data. Mean filter alters original class pattern and also it is ...
Relative Yield, Profit and Water Productivity of Crops in IGNP Stage-I
The choice of an appropriate crop and cropping systems is essential for achieving
higher yield, profit and resource use efficiencies. Yield, returns and water productivity
are important factors for determining suitability ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
Analysis of pre-requisite and framework for introducing potato crop in non-traditional Anantapuramu district of Andhra Pardesh
As per FAOSTAT database, India is the second largest producer of potatoes (45.34 million tonne in 2013) after
China (88.99 million tonne in 2013). However, Indian potato production has not been uniformly distributed over ...
Rhizobacterial-plant interactions: Strategies ensuring plant growth promotion under drought and salinity stress
Drought and salinity are major environmental stresses resulting in secondary stresses such as osmotic
and oxidative stress (common to both stresses) as well as ionic stress (during salinity) causing alterations
in ...
