It addresses challenges such as waterlogging in maize and salinity stress, while emphasizing organic nutrient management in rice-tomato-okra systems. Additionally, it discusses the broader themes of agricultural development, the Green Revolution, and the role of hydropower in promoting sustainable development, highlighting the importance of efficient water use for a sustainable future.
This book is an attempt to furnish student and teachers the information at one place in consolidated and precise manner, covering tools and techniques involved, figure, illustration and examples along with research highlight with updated latest references, in order to elucidate topics making the subject more interesting and knowledge-rich.Environmental stress severely restricts the distribution and productivity of plants. Heavy metal is one of the major abiotic factors which can limit crop productivity, especially in arid and semi arid region. Land and water resources are worst affected and under continuous stress, both biotic and abiotic, due to anthropogenic interventions. This book will fulfil the need for a one-volume scientific discussion on heavy metal stress and putrescine. Cadmium (Cd) is of particular concern to human health as it can be readily absorbed by roots and be concentrated by many cereals, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. Elevated levels of Cd generally inhibit seed germination, cell growth as well as whole plant growth, nutrient uptake, distribution and photosynthesis. The purpose of present study was to evaluate the performance of medicinally important Stevia.
Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass der bevorstehende Klimawandel drastische Auswirkungen auf die landwirtschaftliche Produktivität haben wird. Um die Nahrungsmittelproduktion angesichts der Nachfrage einer ständig wachsenden Bevölkerung zu steigern, müssen verschiedene Quellen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels einbezogen werden. Am stärksten werden die unterentwickelten Länder und die Entwicklungsländer von diesen Veränderungen betroffen sein. Angesichts des globalen Klimawandels muss Indien, das zweitbevölkerungsreichste Land, alle Ressourcen nutzen, seien sie genetischer, technischer oder agronomischer Natur, um eine angemessene Nahrungsmittel- und Wasserproduktion für den prognostizierten Bevölkerungszuwachs sicherzustellen. Die Vorbereitung auf den globalen Klimawandel ist durch gemeinsame Anstrengungen auf nationaler und globaler Ebene möglich und wird dazu beitragen, alle Probleme, die wir in der Zukunft haben werden, zu lindern. Sorghum ist eine C4-Pflanze, die Hitze, Trockenheit und Salzgehalt gleichzeitig vertragen kann und daher als Trockenlandpflanze bezeichnet wird. Physiologische Eingriffe in Verbindung mit biotechnologischen Werkzeugen sind ein fruchtbarer Ansatz für eine deutliche Ertragssteigerung bei Sorghum.
