Development of alternative livelihoods has become a popular policy to uplift the socioeconomic status of small-scale fishers and to reduce fishing pressure on overexploited fisheries. Seaweed farming has been incorporated into many community-based coastal resources management projects and fisheries management initiatives as an alternative livelihood option for fishers in tropical developing cou...

The Present experiment examines and evaluates the socioeconomic status of household shrimp farmers, aspects cultivation, cost return structures farming. Through random selection, farmers from two distinct Balasore district blocks have been purposefully chosen for study. Additionally, information on various costs streams 40 twenty (20) each block, has gathered. was gathered with goal examining s...

Accurate information of paddy fields over wide areas is essential to support sustainable agricultural and a food security program. Monitoring of these lands continuously, using remote sensing technology, will provide information related to the cropping intensity in the field, as well as its dynamics change. We characterized seasonal vegetation dynamics from long-term multi-temporal MODIS satell...

The effect of controlled drainage (CD) on ammonia volatilization (AV) losses from paddy fields under controlled irrigation (CI) was investigated by managing water table control levels using a lysimeter. Three drainage treatments were implemented, namely, controlled water table depth 1 (CWT1), controlled water table depth 2 (CWT2), and controlled water table depth 3 (CWT3). As the water table co...

The diversity of cultivable methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) in the rice paddy field ecosystem was investigated by combined culture-dependent and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. Seven microsites of a Japanese rice paddy field were the focus of the study: floodwater, surface soil, bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, root, basal stem of rice plant, and rice stumps of previous harve...

In this study, an algorithm is proposed to determine the duration in a rice crop cycle based on texture analysis. During an observation period in 2013, daily images were acquired from a still camera installed at a paddy field. Given a set of time-series images, the texture analysis is used to classify different stages of the rice growing. Regarding the hypothesis, the rice crop cycle can be sep...

Urban Farming is growing rapidly and becoming as a part of the solution for food insecurityand malnutrition problems urban citizen. But, facilitation development urbanfarming have not been able to overcome pressure faced by farmers mainlyaccessibility agroinput yet. Objectives this research were 1) identify ofagroinput, 2) know accessibility farmer agroinput, 3) analyze policy implicationto far...

A field experiment was conducted at Precision Farming Development Center, college farm, of agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during kharif, The laid out in split plot design with three drip irrigation levels as main treatments (viz., I1- Drip 1.0 E pan, I2- 0.8 I3- 0.6E pan) and four mulches M1-No mulch, M2- Paddy straw, M3- Black plastic M4- Dried leaves) sub were replicated thrice. experi...
