Influence of crop rotation and liming on greenhouse gas emissions from a semiarid soil
Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered ...
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 ...
