Arid Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture and Trade (Vol. 1)
The volume contents aspects as crops i.e. Clusterbean, Mothbean, Cowpea, Horsegram, Mungbean, Rice bean, Indian bean, Winged bean and other minor pulses grown in arid and semi-arid regions.
Legumes in Dry Areas
Biotechnology is an emerging field of science and as such the government of India is laying a large and exclusive impetus on it. Plant tissue culture is the basic and the most important aspect of Biotechnology. All the molecular biological and biotechnological findings can only be realized in material by the plant tissue culture. Therefore, plant tissue culture has been introduced as a compulsory course in the Undergraduate and Postgraduate syllabi of all the Agricultural Universities, ICAR institutes and other plant science related educational organizations. This book has been designed to benefit the students, the research scholars and the scientists for developing a level of self-confidenc...
Diversification of Arid Farming Systems
Over the years, economic considerations have overtaken the sustainability issue. Low and erratic rainfall, frequent droughts, the increasing costs of cultivation, lower compensation of labour and inputs have made farming in the arid regions a challenging enterprise. Employment opportunities in sectors other than agriculture have enticed many to cross the floor. The largest segment of the farming community, however, is constrained to make a living from farm related activities. With the opening of markets for international trade in farm commodities, the competition has toughened for the resource-constrained farmers of the arid regions of the country. On the other hand, useful technologies have...
Agroforestry for Sustained Productivity in Arid Regions
In recent years the agroforestry for sustained productivity in arid regions attained more importance, particularly from the point of view of efficient utilization of land and water resources, meeting grain, fuel-wood and fodder needs of increasing human and livestock populations and protecting the environment from deterioration. The present volume is comprised of 23 chapters - containing information on various aspects of agroforestry like: Soil and Climatic conditions, nutrient and water relations, improved genotypes of trees and grasses, insect pest management, Socio-economic settings and transfer of technology for providing sustainability to arid regions.
Pearl Millet
In this age of climate change, discover how pearl millet is considered a viable alternative cereal crop for semi-arid and hot areas Pearl millet, a warm-season, dryland cereal crop, is a staple food for over 90 million people in Africa and Asia. Its nutritional superiority relative to other cereal crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, and sorghum, and its hardiness and adaptability to harsh environments and poor soils make it a potentially life-saving resource for poor populations and/or areas hit by damaging climatic conditions. With climate change Placing an ever-greater strain on global agrifood systems, pearl millet has never been a more important crop in the fight against poverty, hunger, ...
Musculoskeletal Infection
This book gathers international knowledge and contemporary clinical and scientific evidence on infections associated with the musculoskeletal system at a time when we are confronted with significant challenges and uncertainty. A key focus of the book is enhancing and advancing future discovery in the detection, prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal infection. This is an ideal book for physicians, surgeons, research scientists, university students, as well as medical and allied health students.
Water Management, Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture in Developing Economies
India is a fast developing economy whose natural resource base, comprising land and water supporting agricultural production, are not only under enormous stress, but also complex and not amenable to a uniform strategy. This book addresses strategies for food security and sustainable agriculture in India, including lessons to be learned in other developing economies across the world.
Feeding and Management of Livestock During Drought and Scarcity
This book attempts to address the issue of management in terms of feeding livestock for production and health in drought period. The chapters included in the book elucidates the management of feeding, feed resources, production and health so as to make the livestock production economical. It is hoped that the compilation will prove useful for the researchers, planners and policy makers to understand the causes for the loss of productivity and health of livestock in drier regions and help in devising management plans towards sustenance and improvement of production. The contributions from the researchers and experts from National Research Institutions, Government organizations and Universities working in the dry areas will be useful to all concerned, including the professionals of animal husbandry.
Managing Salt Tolerance in Plants
Salinity stress currently impacts more than 80 million hectares of land worldwide and more arable land is likely to be impacted in the future due to global climate changes. Managing Salt Tolerance in Plants: Molecular and Genomic Perspectives presents detailed molecular and genomic approaches for the development of crop plants tolerant to salinity
