Role of crop competition in managing weeds in rice, wheat, and maize in India: A review
In India, the three staple food crops viz., rice, wheat, and maize, contribute more than four-fifths of the
total food grain production. Among the several factors limiting their productivity, weeds account for
about 40%. ...
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 ...
Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions
Sorghum is one of the world’s most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock
for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum’s growing season and increases yield in
temperate ...
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 ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Variation in drought-tolerance components and their interrelationships in the core collection of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) germplasm
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) is an ancient cereal cultivated worldwide in arid and marginal
lands. It is an ideal crop for the changing climate, with high photosynthetic efficiency. A trait-based selection ...
How fertile are semi-arid tropical soils?
The semiarid
tropical (SAT) regions are notably characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, and hence low natural primary
productivity and soil fertility. However, to adequately respond to the title of our article ...
Evaluation of CropSyst Model for Simulating Green Area Index, Soil Water and Yield of Psyllium in Hyper Arid Partially Irrigated Zone of Rajasthan
Cropping systems model (CropSyst) was calibrated using the experimental data
of crop parameters, soil profile data and observed daily weather data of experimental
site for 2012-13 and validated the experimental data of ...
