The book entitled Rainfed Agriculture in India Research and Development Scenario is an attempt to highlight the importance of rainfed agriculture in India. Rainfed areas are the habitat of the ecologically and economically disadvantaged small holders landless and the poor. In any R&D activity to improve the lot of such a community in particular there cannot be an adhoc approach. This book assesses the earlier attempts made in the country and elsewhere. Then a study is taken up for a thorough understanding of the natural resources including the socio economic conditions of these areas. This is followed with a critical review of the various R&D efforts already put in place both within and outside the country. Later SWOT analysis was taken up to suggest improvements in various production systems. Finally the future R&D efforts needed have been highlighted. 508 pp.…

India's agriculture growth after independence has moved the country from the severe food crisis of the sixties to aggregate food surplus today and rainfed agriculture has played an important role in this. In India about two third of total net sown area comes under rainfed lands. Rainfed crops account for 48 per cent area under food crops and 68 per cent under non food crops. One of the major challenges facing rainfed agriculture in India today is its sustainable development through conserving and enhancing the inherent capacity of its land and other natural resources to sustain it. Any erosion of this capacity will threaten country's food security and agriculture substantially. In order to constantly address this concern along with increasing production of food grains and other agricultural products it is necessary to enhance and conserve the stock of available land water and other natural resources and develop improved technologies which maintain and improve the productive capacity of natural resources. The papers in this volume touch upon important aspects relating to rainfed agriculture such as crop husbandry conserving land and water livestock development livelihood options in rural non farm sector and policies initiatives and institutional changes necessary for rejuvenating rainfed agriculture. The analysis and issues raised in the contributions would go a long way to put the much neglected agriculture in rainfed areas in true perspective and provide space for better policy options. 324 pp. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The book is designed primarily for the students of agriculture as per the syllabus laid out by the 5th Dean's Committee and as accepted by the ICAR. The syllabus is being followed by all agricultural universities in India. The book will cater the need of the students about rainfed agriculture. The chapters of this book have been selected and arranged in such a manner as to lead the students through the entire gamut of rainfed agriculture both theory and practical. It is supported by suitable examples and diagrams. The broad chapters included in the book are: Rainfed agriculture: Introduction, types, characteristics, distribution and importance; History of rainfed agriculture & watershed in India; Problems and prospects of rainfed agriculture in India ; Soil and climatic conditions prevalent in rainfed areas; Drought: types, effect of water deficit on physio- morphological characteristics of the plants, Mechanism of crop adaptation under moisture deficit condition; Water harvesting: importance, its techniques, Efficient utilization of water through soil and crop management practices, Study of mulches and anti-transpirants; Management of crops in rainfed areas; Contingent crop planning for aberrant weather conditions; Concept, objective, principles and components of watershed management, factors affecting watershed management; Integrated watershed development.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The authors considered that managing rainwater and soil moisture more effectively, and using supplemental and small-scale irrigation, held the key to helping the greatest number of poor people. It called for a new era of water investments and policies for upgrading rainfed agriculture that would go beyond controlling field-level soil and water to bring new freshwater sources through better local management of rainfall and runoff. The chapters in this book provide important aspects relating to rainfed agriculture in India, including concepts and characterists, type of rainfed farming systoms, climate risks, water availability, water shed management, an soon. The issues raised in the book would go a long way to put the much-neglected agriculture.…

Future R&D needs for improving rain feed agriculture. References. Indian agriculture is at cross roads. The Green Revolution becoming a greed resolution resulted in ecological crisis and lead to a technology fatigue. The Prime Minister called for alternatives to enhance production through smallholders and in rain feed areas. The natural resources that support production systems are continuously degrading. This is more so in the rain feed eco-system. Unless this malady is corrected, even the improved genetic material will fail to show up its potential. The focus has to be soil health and diminishing resources like water. Now it is widely recognized that rain feed areas are not only thirsty but hungry too. There is the need for improving the soil productivity through turnover of organics and providing deficit irrigation at physiological stages of crops become the key to improve production in rain feed areas. Rain feed production systems are highly site specific and there can never be universal recommendations as a penances to address these systems. While efforts have to continue to evolve suitable genetic material, the first stance in enhancing the productivity is to improve soil and crop husbandry using internalized doable technologies and that too through community based systems. Such as approach results in reduced costs in production. Our country has more marginal and small farmers, mostly practicing rain feed farming.…
