Assessment of risk premium in farm technology adoption as a climate change adaptation strategy in the dryland systems of India
Purpose: Changing climate has increasingly become a challenge for smallholder farmers.
Identification of technical, institutional and policy interventions as coping and adaptation
strategies, and exploring risks of their ...
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 ...
Genotype × Environment Studies on Resistance to Late Leaf Spot and Rust in Genomic Selection Training Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Foliar fungal diseases especially late leaf spot (LLS) and rust are the important production constraints across the peanut growing regions of the world. A set of 340 diverse peanut genotypes that includes accessions from ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Mapping of household vulnerability and identification of adaptation strategies in dryland systems of South Asia
Low amount and high variability of rainfall in South Asian dryland production system have
affected the livelihood of small and marginal households. Therefore, a marginal change in the
climate could challenge the livelihood ...
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 ...
Quantification of Risk Associated with Technology Adoption in Dryland Systems of South Asia
Climate change increasingly becomes a challenge for smallholder farmers. Strategies that will
help farmers to cope with vulnerability are important. These strategies comprise a variety of
interventions ranging from technical, ...
Nitrogen response and water use efficiency of sweet sorghum cultivars
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a biofuel crop, which can be grown under tropical rainfedconditions without sacrificing food and fodder security. Three sweet sorghum cultivars (CSH 22 SS, NTJ2 and ICSV 93046) ...
Molecular Breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life
of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control
composition of ...
Climate Change, Gender and Adaptation Strategies in Dryland Systems of South Asia
There is a blossoming literature on gender and climate change issues broadly focused on the
adverse effects of climate condition. These studies are mostly focused on gender inequalities in
agrarian communities of developing ...
