Molybdenum status and critical limit in the soil for green gram (Vigna radiata) growing in Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu, India
A survey was undertaken during 2008 to determine molybdenum (Mo) status of soils and to establish critical
limits in soils of Madurai and Sivagangai districts of Tamil Nadu. A total of 202 surface soil samples were
collected ...
Micronutrient Density and Stability in West African Pearl Millet—Potential for Biofortification
Pearl millet (Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone) is one of the most important cereals in West and Central Africa (WCA). Human populations in WCA are strongly affected by micronutrient deficiencies. Biofortification, the ...
Origin of early maturing pigeonpea germplasm and its impact on adaptation and cropping systems
Pigeonpea breeding activities started about a century ago and for decades only late maturing cultivars dominated the global cultivation. Historically, no early maturing cultivar was available for a very long time and ...
Salt-tolerant genes from halophytes are potential key players of salt tolerance in glycophytes
Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the most
important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal stress. The enhanced
burden of secondary ...
Socio-economic and Agricultural Vulnerability Across Districts of Karnataka
Vulnerability assessments can play a vital role in the design of appropriate adaptation and mitigation policies targeted towards climate
change and its impacts on ecosystems, and those who depend upon these resources for ...
Genetic options for combating biotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes, mainly faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), field pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), are economically and ecologically important crops ...
Inter-row tillage for improved soil and water conservation and crop yields on crusted Alfisols
In the semi-arid tropics (SAT), 33% areas are oc- cupied by Alfisols and related soils. In SAT these soils have low structural stability and thereby tend to form seal and crusts at the surface. Due to this a large proportion ...
Grasspea cultivation manual (local language)
Brochure in the local language - Grasspea cultivation produced within the 'Variety, Technology and Seed System Development for Pulses in Odisha - Odisha Pulse Mission project'.
Adoption level, yield and constraints in Indian barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivation: Insights from baseline data for identifying livelihood prospects
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important nutritious cereal in India with growing demand for malt preparation, brewing and food industries. Over years, declining acreage along with distorted production becomes a major ...
Multi-locations testing (MLT) Network of GLDC crops in India to enhance genetic gains
Multi-location testing (MLT) Network is proposed to generate data for line advancements, parental selection and hot spot screenig for biotic and abiotic stresses. MLT data driven line advancements and hot spot screenign ...
