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 ...
A SSR kit to study genetic diversity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools ...
Relating Trends in Streamflow to Anthropogenic Influences: A Case Study of Himayat Sagar Catchment, India
Catchment development has been identified as a potentially major cause of
streamflow change in many river basins in India. This research aims to understand changes
in the Himayat Sagar catchment (HSC), India, where significant ...
Balanced Nutrient Management for Crop Intensification and Livelihood Improvement: A Case Study from Watershed in Andhra Pradesh, India
Soil health assessment of farmers’ fields in watershed villages in Medak district, Andhra
Pradesh, India showed widespread deficiencies of sulfur (S), boron (B), and zinc (Zn)
in addition to organic carbon and phosphorus ...
Individual and combined effects of transient drought and heat stress on carbon assimilation and seed filling in chickpea
High temperatures and decreased rainfall are detrimental to yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), particularly
during grain filling. This study aimed to (i) assess the individual and combined effects of drought and heat ...
Crop Dominance Mapping with IRS-P6 and MODIS 250-m Time Series Data
This paper describes an approach to accurately separate out and quantify crop dominance areas in the major command area in the Krishna River Basin. Classification was performed using IRS-P6 (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, ...
Carbon Sequestration in Indian Soils: Present Status and the Potential
India’s growing self-sufficiency in food production
and food stocks since independence suggest that
soils have the capacity to produce. Therefore, a review of
Indian soils and their capacity to sequester carbon; and ...
Role of Technology and Credit in Improving Farm Incomes in Rainfed Regions in Andhra Pradesh$
Improving the productivity of rainfed agriculture and income of farmers is important to achieve sustainable
and equitable growth. This paper has examined the role of technology and credit, the two important
factors of ...
Micronutrient cations status in vegetable growing soils of subhumid and wettemperate zones of Himachal Pradesh
Composite surface (0 to 0.15 m) soil samples were collected from vegetable growing fields in midhills
subhumid and highhills
wettemperate
subagroclimatic
zones of Himachal Pradesh. The soils in wet temperate zone of Himachal ...
Comparative Evaluation of Ground and Unground Pearl Millet and Sorghum Grain Samples for Determining Total Iron and Zinc
Rapid and effective methods are needed to analyze large numbers of grain samples for iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) to select cultivars that are denser in these minerals. This study was conducted for the comparative evaluation ...
