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). …
