Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable shrub species: Silvopasture: offering multiple benefits for agro-pastoralists
Silvopasture is ideally suited to the dry areas where its
application in agro-forestry production systems can help
to improve fodder production, enhance soil health, and
reduce erosion. In India, where the practice is ...
Focus group discussions for the ADOPT tool
THis is a picture of focus group discussion for the CSIRO ADOPT tool to understand the peak adoption for two improved grasses that were introduced into communities in Rajasthan, India.
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 ...
Seed Info No. 42
Seed Info is designed to stimulate information exchange and regular communication between seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Long term effect of conservation agriculture in maize rotations on total organic carbon, physical and biological properties of a sandy loam soil in north-western Indo- Gangetic Plains
Maize-based crop rotations are advocated as alternate to rice-based systems in South Asia due to better suitability for diverse ecologies, higher yields with less water use and more palatable maize fodder compared to rice, ...
NRM and institutional options for sustainable management of silvipasture systems on community and private lands for enhanced eco-system services
A key component of this project is the capacity development of all concerned stakeholders. In particular agro-pastoral communities with emphasis on woman. Research activity is developed with community involvement to insure ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Identification of QTLs and underlying candidate genes controlling grain Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L). Moench]
Biofortification is one of sustainable options for combating micronutrientmalnutrition.
For identifying genomic regions associated with
grain Fe and Zn in sorghum, RIL population (342 individuals) from cross 296B × PVK 801 ...
