Water productivity and yield analysis of groundnut using CropSyst simulation model in hyper arid partially irrigated zone of Rajasthan
CropSyst is one of the most important process-oriented simulation models largely used for field crops all over the world to study the effect of climate, soil and management practices on crop productivity. In the present ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria
Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four ...
Managing soil fertility constraints in market-led shift to high value agriculture for benefiting smallholders in the semi-arid tropics
Low productivity and cultivation of low value crops in
the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is the main cause for
poor farm-based livelihoods. Poverty leading to low risktaking
ability of farmers and production related
constraints ...
Predicted farmer uptake of new agricultural practices: case of silvo-pastoral technologies in Rajasthan, India
The study aimed to assess the rate of adoption of silvo pastoral practices and identify main constraints that limit
their adoption in Rajasthan, India using adoption and
diffusion outcome prediction tool (ADOPT) in ...
Smallholder farmers involvement in seed production of pigeonpea : An assessment in Odisha, India
Smallholder pigeonpea farmers in Odisha always rely on self-saved seeds of preferred landrace with long maturity period of
7 months and exploiting this for a period of 2-4 years or more. These model of seed system continuously ...
