Analysis of Oil Content in Jatropha by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry
Thirty two diverse Jatropha curcas L. cultivars were analyzed for their oil content by the standard Soxhlet extraction method using
hexane as solvent. The results were then compared with those obtained by nuclear magnetic ...
Discrimination of maize crop with hybrid polarimetric RISAT1 data
Microwave remote sensing provides an attractive approach to
determine the spatial variability of crop characteristics. Synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) image data provide unique possibility of
acquiring data in all weather ...
Rain-fed Agriculture, Area and Extent
Rainfed areas, although vary from region to region, are important in terms of agriculture since most of the poor communities live in
these areas. Rainfed agriculture (RFA) is fragile due to climatic vagaries. More than 90 ...
Climate Change Adaption and Mitigation - Role of Extension
Evidences over the past few decades show that significant changes in climate are taking place all over the world as a result of
enhanced human activities in deforestation, emission of various greenhouse gases, and ...
Climate Change Challenge (3C) and Social-Economic-Ecological Interface-Building—Exploring Potential Adaptation Strategies for Bio-resource Conservation and Livelihood Development: Epilogue
Climate change is arguably the single most dominant environmental threat facing humanity. Its manifestations, particularly through
rising temperatures, changing rainfall, sealevel
rise and increasing droughts and floods ...
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 ...
Characterization of crop fallows for agricultural intensification, length of crop fallows duration between two crops in one year in Eastern Gangetic plains from 2000 to 2014.
Characterization of the crop fallows using remote sensing for agricultural intensification and diversification in Eastern Gangetic plains. Time series satellite data (MODIS and Landsat) were used to map the length of crop ...
Improved crop productivity and rural livelihoods through balanced nutrition in the rainfed semi-arid tropics
Diagnostic soil analysis in targeted clusters of eight districts in Andhra Pradesh revealed critical deficiencies of sulphur (61 to 98%),
boron (23 to 98%) and zinc (45 to 85%) in addition to that of soil carbon (25 to ...

Climate Smart Agriculture for Building Resilience and Improving Livelihoods in Rainfed Areas
The biggest challenge, human kind facing in the 21st century is to cope up with the impacts of the climate change which is affecting
the sustainable development globally. The IPCC (Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change) ...
