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 ...

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, has launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana
(PMKSY) to address India’s key agricultural challenges in the 21st century i.e., to reduce poverty ...
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 ...
Pathways to Sustainable Intensification: Participatory Designing of Adapted Farming System Innovations
Most farmers in Western Rajasthan, India face an uncertain, impoverished future. The region is affected by frequent droughts, overexploitation
of groundwater, deteriorating soil and water quality, low productivity, weak ...
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 ...
Variable indicators for optimum wavelength selection in diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of soils
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in 350–2500 nm wave length range is fast emerging as a rapid and
non-invasive technique for analyzing multiple soil attributes. Because the spectral reflectance values in ...
How fertile are semi-arid tropical soils?
The semiarid
tropical (SAT) regions are notably characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, and hence low natural primary
productivity and soil fertility. However, to adequately respond to the title of our article ...
Report of the Second Meeting of the imGoats Mozambique National Steering Committee, Maputo, Mozambique, 7 February 2012
The goal of the “Small ruminant value chains as platforms for reducing poverty and increasing food security in dryland areas of India and Mozambique (imGoats)” project is to increase incomes and food security in a sustainable ...
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) ...
