Pongamia pinnata is a multipurpose and multiuse farmers friendly tree in India. It thrives well in sub tropical regions and it is seen in almost all states in India. It is naturally germinated and grown in tank bunds field bunds water channel areas wastelands etc. Farmers use branches stems tree parts etc. for farm implements. Leaves and flower drops etc. are used as compost or green manure. Oil and oilcake can be used as pesticides and biofertilizer respectively. It has medicinal value and industrial use. It controls/reduces the atmospheric pollution. It is drought resistant unbrowsable and thrives in all soils but not too resistant to heavy frost. Of late it is recognized as the effective bio fuel plant and bio fuel has capacity to replace imported diesel so as to save huge foreign exchequer. Such valuable eco friendly farmers friendly industrial use and bio fuel plant is neglected in India. Hence a study was taken up to know present economic viability utility marketing channels etc. so as to have comprehensive idea to develop suitable models for its popularization by helping farmers through liberal loan facilities encouragement etc. It will go in the long way to be self reliant in bio fuel by replacing import of diesel and drastic reduction on foreign exchequer. 104 pp.

After surpassing the twin stages of agriculture sector viz. food security based agriculture till the advent of Green Revolution and self sufficiency in food crops after the Green Revolution India's modern agriculture is at present specialized agriculture to some extend poised towards commercial entrepreneurial agriculture besides facing multiple concerns and challenges. This is necessary but not a sufficient condition in achieving rapid rural transformation in the country. It calls for an urgent need for new initiatives to revive and rejuvenate Indian agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming and also to transform the life of vulnerable section of the rural people from mere poverty to near prosperity through adoption of innovative thinking and yield augmented technologies with cost effective approach. The present book provides comprehensive study of agricultural strategies / technologies being adopted in India and abroad and their impact on rural economy including problems and prospects to evince rural transformation. Success stories have been incorporated which serve as an imperative for the planners and policy makers to make effective policies and programmes in future to bring out economic growth of the entire nation in general and rapid rural transformation in particular. 168 pp.

Government of India launched a watershed development programme during the year 1983 84 with an objective to develop natural resources viz. land water vegetation and productivity of crops in addition to improvement of standard of living of the people. Based on the experience gained during 1983 90 the Watershed Development Programme has been expanded further to cover larger areas. Government of India through its Ministries of Agriculture Rural Development forestry managed the Watershed Development Programme in India. Further it was allotted even to non governmental organizations under the policy of government and private partnership so as to execute the works more effectively. However NGOs concentrated on water resource development so as to improve the irrigated area for improving the livelihood security of rural people on watershed basis unlike government departments which concentrated on overall development of natural resources and agriculture production. There are number of books covering watershed development programmes written by many authors. Hence an attempt is made to cover all aspects of watershed so as to observe and judge the effectiveness and efficiency of the watersheds based on the development of natural resources agriculture and socio economic conditions. Thus many points are covered in this book. 200 pp.

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Contents 1. Irrigation water quality characterisation. 2. Soil properties in relation to saline water irrigation. 3. Plant growth in Saline environment. 4. Irrigation with Saline water. 5. Management of saline water irrigated soils. 6. Factors affecting suitability of Saline water for irrigation. References. Index. History reveals that civilization began in an environment of irrigation agriculture and the downfall of civilization was determined by water logging and salinity. Salinity is the major and ever present threat to the permance of irrigation agriculture. Unless salinity is controlled productivity decreases land values drop and in several cases the land is completely abandoned. Quality of irrigation water is one of the main factors to be understood in irrigated agriculture. Injudicious irrigations even with good quality waters may also turn good soil into saline or alkali conditions. The use of saline waters is inescapable in some areas where no alternative facility for irrigation is available. Such waters are being used knowing full well that the quality and yield of the crop would continuously decrease. The information and techniques presented in this monograph aim at the improvement of existing irrigation practices with a view to protect the lands from further deterioration and obtain maximum possible yields under the prevailing adverse conditions in areas where soils are irrigated with saline water. Irrespective of the source of irrigation water some salts are always dissolved therein. These salts affected the physical and chemical properties of the soil and ultimately the crop growth. In the arid and semi arid regions irrigation is essential for successful agriculture and in some areas particularly in the arid zone the main sources of irrigation is ground water which is usually saline with varying degrees of salt concentration. Such saline waters have been in use since decades with adverse effects on soil productivity and crop growth. Saline irrigation water resources can be better utilised by giving due consideration to the whole complex of soil water plant relationship in a particular agro climatic zone. This however necessitates a thorough knowledge of the quality of irrigation water characteristics of soils being irrigated salt tolerance of crops being grown and agronomic practices. The purpose of this monograph is to bring forth and discuss the problems related to the use of saline irrigation water in agriculture. It has been envisaged that the problems posed in this book will induce the research workers to make further investigation and bring forth solutions to the problems of irrigation with saline water. 308 pp.

Government of India proposed many projects/schemes to improve the socio economic conditions of farmers in India and wanted to transfer technologies from the research stations to farmers fields. The programme like national demonstration Operational Research Project Lab to Land watershed management etc and Krishi Vigyan Kendra was initiated during the year 1974 at Madur Karaikal Pondicherry under the host organization of Government of Pondicherry and subsequently placed under the administrative control of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. Based on the activities of this KVK Planning Commission approved the proposal of the ICAR to establish 18 KVKs during the Fifth Five Year Plan. The strength of the KVKs reached to 541 as on today and it may be about 585 because each district in the country will have one KVK irrespective of the size and area of the district. The main functions of the KVKs are to conduct training programmes on farm trials front line demonstrations extension education livelihood programmes etc. The jurisdiction of the KVK is only within the district. This is hoped to cater the needs of farmers farm women rural youth artisans etc. in rural areas. There is no proper documentation till now. Hence this book is proposed to cover all aspects for the benefit of the scientists extension workers administrators planners etc. The KVKs are managed by State Agricultural Universities ICAR Institutions Non Governmental Organizations etc. These are wholly funded by Indian Council of Agricultural Research so as to improve the knowledge of the farmers and other rural people in technologies of agriculture and allied enterprises for improving productivities and profitabilities of farming activities so as to improve the socioeconomic conditions of the rural people. 192 pp.
