The book Modern Technology on vegetable production has been compiled by the authors keeping in view the increasing importance of vegetable in the country under varied agro climatic conditions to meet the ever increasing demand of the population. The vegetables are the integral part of our daily diet in all walks of society. The population of India is increasing at a faster rate (1.8% yearly) and the production of vegetables in our country can not cope with what is needed for nutritional security particularly of the developing countries like India Burma and Pakistan etc. They have tried together all the information available on cultivation practices newly developed varieties and other aspects of vegetable production based on research findings. The unique feature of this book is that a special attention has been focused on all the latest aspects of vegetable growing varieties grown and impact of environmental factors. This book has been compiled for the benefit of all those who are interested in increasing their knowledge and understanding about details of vegetable production protection and nutritional importance emanating from the concerted efforts. We hope that the information contained in this book will be of immense value to farming community specially vegetable/seed producers/students/researchers/extension workers etc. involved in vegetable industry in India. 366 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The book Battle Ready for the 21st Century has endeavoured to postulate and define emerging areas of conflict, desired capabilities and doctrinal issues that need careful examination. The authors with hands on experience and domain specialisation have endeavoured to define and suggest the ways and means necessary to secure India from emerging security challenges on land, air, sea, space, cyber domain and even cognitive domain. The notion of victory in the 21st Century has undergone a profound change as highlighted in recent conflicts across the globe. The conventional land forces in Indian context still remain irreplaceable to capture, hold and deny ground to the adversaries, as a result focus remains on land forces especially while dealing with the threat from China and Pakistan. Notwithstanding this reality, domain specialists have identified maritime, air and space challenges along with capabilities required to fight and win multi domain conflicts. The essays have imaginatively covered grey zone conflict, urban warfare and mountain warfare, along with dynamic military strategies to secure India. The Two Front dilemma is no longer an illusion, but an ongoing reality. For too long the ISR domain has remained an Achilles heel for India, the author of this essay has identified the gaps and suggested pragmatic measures to overcome these. The important aspect of doctrinal innovation has rightly been linked to visionary leadership and aligned to professional military education.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Farming system is the way of life for small and marginal farmers. Recently, the AICRP on Farming System Research at CCSHAU, Hisar, has developed various technologies on regional based cropping systems, integrated nutrient management, organic farming package, resource conservation technologies etc. Integrated farming system model developed under this project in one hectare area gives hope for realizing higher returns for farmers from a unit land. Family farming model of one hectare gives decent round the year income with more than 2 lacs as return over variable cost/annum. The on farm research in Sirsa district also intensified and regular scientist-farmer interaction, training and demonstrations were also organized. In the coming years, on farm research in farmer participatory IFS approach and capacity building of stake holders are to be given thrust. The book will be quiet helpful for policy makers, researchers, students and farming community to address the issues of farming system. The book has been written in a lucid language for easy understanding of the concept. (jacket). …

Choudhary, Rakesh Kumar, Surajit Mondal and Dhiraj Kumar Singh. The book 'Climate Smart Technologies for Improving Farm Productivity' is a compiled version of lectures delivered in the training programme sponsored by the National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE), Hyderabad. It consists of a total of 15 chapters that synergistically integrate various production systems for alleviating adverse climate change impacts and improving farm productivity. Each chapter is a contribution from eminent scientist(s) working in pioneer national and/ or international organizations. In each chapter, efforts were made to correlate the contents with adaptation and/or mitigation strategies to address the issues of climate change. This book starts with an introductory outlook of climate smart technologies and ends with varietal interventions as adaptation strategies to alleviate the adverse impacts of climate change. Important topics, such as integrated farming systems, livestock and fishery resources management, conservation agriculture, crop diversification for climate resilient agriculture, harnessing potential of solar energy, and of farm mechanization have been covered in some detail under changing climate scenario. This book also covers climate resilient weed management and crop establishment practices, crop residue management, nutrient mineralization, solar energy for clean energy and carbon neutral farming, enhancing water productivity, development of climate smart villages, and insect-pests and disease management strategies under changing climate scenario. One chapter is exclusively devoted to mushroom production, which is a typical example of low-cost production technology. In addition, the book also includes scalable technologies for sustainable intensification of small holder farms in Bihar. To our opinion, contributors have tried their best to focus on utilization of climate smart scale neutral technologies. However, individual chapter in the book conveys the perspective of respective author(s), and they are entirely responsible for advanced statements and opinions, if any. Editors firmly believe that this publication will prove to be hi.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Options on natural resource management for horticulture development. Conclusion. Bibliography. Horticultural crops have played a major role in ensuring livelihood security of farming community. The last decade has witnessed sea change in the production scenario of horticultural crops. Effective management of natural resources play important role in improving the productivity of horticultural crops in a sustainable manner. Practices like genetic resource management appropriate land use, maintaining soil fertility, efficient management of water resources, adoption of farming system approach for harnessing synergy between different components are some of the approaches on natural resource management for improving the productivity. A number of research work have been undertaken around the world on this aspect. It is time that the learning from the research in these areas to be translated into farmers field directly or after suitable refinement based on local scenario. In this book the authors have attempted to compile the available knowledge in these area including the findings of research work undertaken around the world. This book will be of immense importance for researchers in appraising themselves about the current status of research on different aspects of natural resource management in horticultural crops. It will also be useful for practitioners/farmers for adopting appropriate practices on natural resource management for improving income from their horticulture production system in a sustainable manner.…
