Rainfed agriculture covers 80 percent of the World’s cropland and produces about 60 food grains. In India, 55 gross sown area accounts 40 production. Tamil Nadu, nearly 48 per cent is under rainfed cultivation which highly vulnerable to climate change therefore it requires appropriate adaptation strategies. The present study covering 180 sample households examine farmers perception on various r...

The growth status of winter wheat in irrigated field and rainfed field are obviously different and the field types may have an effect on the predictive accuracy of hyperspectral model. The objectives of the present study were to understand the difference of spectral sensitive wavelengths for leaf area index (LAI) in two field types and realize its hyperspectral prediction. In study, a total of ...

Unlike the Central and Eastern U.S. Corn Belt where maize is grown almost entirely under rainfed conditions, maize in the Western Corn Belt is produced under both irrigated (3.2 million ha) and rainfed maize (4.1 million ha) conditions. Simulation modelling, regression, and boundary-function analysis were used to assess constraints to maize productivity in the Western Corn Belt. Aboveground bio...

Daily rainfall and evaporation data of 30 years (1969-1998) are analysed for prediction of hydrological events, such as occurrence of effective monsoon (EM) and withdrawal of monsoon (WM), for planning rainfed rice in Eastern India. Those hydrological events are treated with normal (ND), lognormal (LND), Pearson type 111 (PTD), and log-Pearson type 111 (LPTD) distributions. The historical data ...

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2017 and 2018 at Advanced Centre for Rainfed Agriculture, Sher-e-Kashmir University Agricultural Sciences Technology, Jammu, Dhianasr, Jammu Kashmir to evaluate effect tillage, residue mulching intercropping on nutrients, growth yield rainfed maize (Zea mays L.). The laid out in a randomized block design with 3 replications. t...

introduction: two of the main challenges in developing countries are food production and trying to get a high income for good nutrition and reduction of poverty. cereals and legumes are the most important crops in the rainfed areas of the country occupying the majority of dry land areas. irrigated production systems had a main role in food production in the past years; but unfortunately, in rec...
