Morphological, Chemical and Molecular Characterization of Centella asiatica Germplasms for Commercial Cultivation in the Indo-Gangetic Plains

Assessment of impact of climate change on potato and potential adaptation gains in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

India is the second largest producer of potato in the world. The Indo-Gangeticplains (IGP) is the main potato growing region accounting for almost 85% of the1.8 Mha under the crop in India where it is grown as an irrigated crop during thewinter season. Since IGP is in sub-tropical plains, duration of the thermally suitablewindow is the main determinant limiting yields. Hence the impact of clima...

A systematic review on the chemical constituents of Centella asiatica

Several reviews have examined various aspects of C. asiatica including the chemistry, pharmacology, and clinical uses but none of these reviews use the systematic review approach to locate and condense all the findings. The aim of this study was to systematically review the chemical constituents of C. asiatica. Electronic databases were searched for studies examining the chemical constituents o...

Determinants and Farm- Level Impacts of Labour Outmigration in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Inter-state migration in search of livelihood is an important feature of the Indian economy. The direction of migration is determined by the direction of the inequality. Rural-urban migration is a mechanism of adjustment by an individual or group to development gaps created between the dynamic industrial sector in urban/peri-urban areas and the more inert agricultural sector in rural areas (Gue...
