Patterns of crop diversification in Indian scenario
Patterns of crop diversification of modern agricultural technology, especially during the period of the Green Revolution in the late sixties and early seventies, there is a continuous surge for diversified agriculture in terms of crops, primarily on economic considerations. Indian agriculture is increasingly getting influenced more and more by economic factors. This need not be surprising becau...
متن کاملMaize productivity and nutrient use efficiency in Western Kenya as affected by soil type and crop management
Low soil fertility and high weed infestation are the main culprits for the declining maize production inWestern Kenya. Technology packages to address these constraints exist, but their effectiveness is likely to be influenced by variability in soil types and farm management practices in the region. Trials were conducted during the 2008/2009 cropping seasons to investigate the nutrient use e...
متن کاملMaximizing root/rhizosphere efficiency to improve crop productivity and nutrient use efficiency in intensive agriculture of China.
Root and rhizosphere research has been conducted for many decades, but the underlying strategy of root/rhizosphere processes and management in intensive cropping systems remain largely to be determined. Improved grain production to meet the food demand of an increasing population has been highly dependent on chemical fertilizer input based on the traditionally assumed notion of 'high input, hig...
متن کاملNutrient Use Efficiency in Plants
Invariably, many agricultural soils of the world are deficient in one or more of the essential nutrients needed to support healthy plants. Acidity, alkalinity, salinity, anthropogenic processes, nature of farming, and erosion can lead to soil degradation. Additions of fertilizers and/or amendments are essential for a proper nutrient supply and maximum yields. Estimates of overall efficiency of ...
متن کاملIncreasing Efficiency of Nutrient Use to Enhance Profit and Environmental Stewardship
The efficiency of converting feed to milk in the US has doubled over the past 60 years (VandeHaar and St-Pierre, 2006). With increasing efficiency, we have decreased the amount of greenhouse gasses produced per pound of milk and the amount of wasted protein. Further improvement is essential to feeding a human population that is expected to increase from 6 to 9 billion in the next 40 years while...
