Intercontinental Networks Between Africa and Asia Across the Indian Ocean: What Do Village Chickens Reveal?
The prehistory of the Indian Ocean world can be likened to a complex historical jigsaw puzzle, and has attracted deep interest from various dis- ciplines (Chaudhuri 1985; Pearson 2011). The objective has been to find and ...
Biodiversity and varietal development of pulses in South Asia
South Asia (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses with 28% and 38% share in global production and acreage. The present ...
Evaluation of Plant Growth Promoting Actinomycetes on Vigna
The legume genus Vigna are grown in warm temperate and tropical regions globally but are particularly crucial to human nutrition in
large parts of tropical Africa and Asia. It can also serve as forage crops. Among the Vigna ...
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) ...
Indo-Ganges River Basin Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) and Irrigated Area Mapping
This study was conducted to map detailed land use/land cover (LULC) and irrigated area categories in the Ganges and Indus River basins using near-continuous time-series 250 m resolution moderate-resolution imaging ...
A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents by Endophytes
Endophytes are the microorganisms which colonize the internal tissue of
host plants without causing any damage to the colonized plant. The benefi -
cial role of endophytic organisms has dramatically documented worldwide
in ...
Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Barley
Barley being the earliest domesticated cereal is one of the major world crops today. Wide adaptation of barley to ecogeographic conditions and higher response to low input and stressful environments make it globally ...
Management of Soil-Borne Diseases of Grain Legumes Through Broad-Spectrum Actinomycetes Having Plant Growth-Promoting and Biocontrol Traits
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) are the two important grain legumes grown extensively in the semiarid tropics (SAT) of the world, where soils are poor in nutrients and receive inadequate/erratic ...
