Developing quantifiable approaches for delineating suitable options for irrigating fallow areas during dry season—a case study from Eastern India
Harvesting surface runoff during monsoon season for further utilization in crop production during the post-monsoon season is now becoming an effective solution to mitigate water scarcity problems. In this study, multi-criteria ...
Identification of stable drought tolerant landraces of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) under multiple environments
Drought is a major constraint to chickpea production leading to maximum crop loss. Further the narrow genetic base of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) can be widened by crossing them to landraces and wild species of which ...
The Top 100 questions for the sustainable intensification of agriculture in India’s rainfed drylands
India has the largest area of rainfed dryland agriculture globally, with a variety of distinct types of farming systems producing most of its coarse cereals, food legumes, minor millets, and large amounts of livestock. All ...
Assessment of spatio-temporal vegetation dynamics in tropical arid ecosystem of India using MODIS time-series vegetation indices
In the present study, we analyzed spatio-temporal vegetation dynamics to identify and delineate the vegetation stress zones in tropical arid ecosystem of Anantapuramu district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using Normalized ...
Identification and allelic variation of drought responsive dehydrin gene based on sequence similarity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an economically important food legume grown in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. Chickpea is cultivated mainly in the rainfed, residual
moisture, and restricted irrigation condition. ...
Population structure and diversity assessment of barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) introduction from ICARDA
This study was undertaken to measure the genetic diversity and population structure of 48 barley accessions introduced from ICARDA using 51 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to select unique parents for ...
Effects of drought stress on relative water, chlorophyll and proline content in tolerant and susceptible genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
The present experiment was carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India to study the effect of imposed drought on relative water content, chlorophyll ...
Yield, water productivity and economics of legume based agri-horti systems during establishment phase of pomegranate (Punica granatum) in hyper arid partially irrigated zone of western Rajasthan
Field experiment was carried out at farmer’s field in pre-bearing orchard of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) during rabi and kharif season of 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively in Bikaner district of Rajasthan to study the ...
Evaluation of fodder yield and fodder quality in sorghum and its interaction with grain yield under different water availability regimes
Sorghum is widely grown as a failsafe crop in semi-arid regions particularly in post rainy season. Though the
effect of drought on crop performance is studied widely there are few studies illustrating the association of ...
Improving sorghum productivity under changing climatic conditions: A modelling approach
Climate variability and change will have far reaching consequences for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of whom depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Crop modelling can help inform the improvement ...
