Integrated Plant Genetic and Balanced Nutrient Management Enhances Crop and Water Productivity of Rainfed Production Systems in Rajasthan, India
Analysis of soils from 421 farmers’ fields in eastern districts of Rajasthan, India, revealed widespread deficiencies of sulfur (S; 43 to 87% fields deficient), boron (B; 25 to 100%), and zinc (Zn; 0 to 94%) in addition ...
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 ...
Extractable soil nutrient effects on feed quality traits of crop residues in the semiarid rainfed mixed crop–livestock farming systems of Southern India
In the mixed crop–livestock systems, while general relation among feed
quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the
effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) ...
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 ...
Effects of Nitrogen Application on Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropical Zone of India
Sweet sorghum is a multipurpose crop that has great potential as a bioethanol crop. To make an appreciable
profit from cultivating sweet sorghum in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), such agronomic practices
as nutrient management ...
Nutrient Deficiencies and their Management in Soils ·of the Semi~Arid Tropical Regions
In the semiarid
tropics (SAT) regions, the loss of soil, organic matter, and nutrients are of great concern. Nutrient imbalance in the
case of major plant nutrients has been reported for a long period of time as a result ...
Zeolitic soils of the Deccan basalt areas in India: their pedology and edaphology
Zeolites play an important role in modifying the chemis-try, physics and biology of soils. Here we review the status of the pedology and edaphology of the zeolitic soils of the Deccan basalt areas of India. Research has ...
Balanced nutrient management: Effects on plant zinc
Participatory on-farm research on the diagnosis and
management of nutrient disorders over the last decade by
the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-
Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and its partners has established
...
Heavy metals concentration in soils under rainfed agro-ecosystems and their relationship with soil properties and management practices
Heavy metals are governed by parent material
of soils and influenced by the soil physicochemical properties
and soil and crop management practices. This paper
evaluates total heavy metal concentrations in rainfed soils
under ...
Balanced and integrated nutrient management for enhanced and economic food production: case study from rainfed semi-arid tropics in India
Soil degradation in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) is mainly responsible for low crop and
water productivity. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan states in India, the soil analyses
of farmers’ fields revealed widespread deficiencies ...
