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 ...
ICRISAT, India soils: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Associated red and black soils are common in the Deccan
plateau and the Indian peninsula. The red soils
are formed due to the progressive landscape reduction
process and black soils due to the aggradation processes;
and ...
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 ...
Land use and cropping effects on carbon in black soils of semi-arid tropical India
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and rainfall are generally
positively related, whereas a negative relationship
between soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and rainfall with
some exception is observed. Land use pattern in black
soil ...
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 ...
Soil mapping and variety-based entry-point interventions for strengthening agriculture-based livelihoods – exemplar case of ‘Bhoochetana’ in India
Soil health diagnosis in nearly 100,000 farmers’ fields under ‘Bhoochetana’ initiative in Karnataka showed widespread soil degradation.
Soil mappingbased
fertilizer management was an effective entrypoint
intervention to ...
Climate change and resilient dryland systems: experiences of ICRISAT in Asia and Africa
The article reviews and summarizes the climate change mitigation and adaptation work undertaken by ICRISAT. The effects of climate
change are already being experienced in several parts of the world. Even though the effects ...
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
...
Soil and Plant Testing for Iron: An Appraisal
Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis in crops is common in highpH
calcareous soils. Soil and plant testing is routinely used for diagnosing iron
(Fe) deficiency chlorosis in crops, with mixed results. This article presents an ...
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 ...
