There is no textbook covering the content of entire course in agro meteorology offered for undergraduate students of agricultural universities in India. Students have to refer various books monographs and periodicals to collect the information for various courses offered in the field of agrometeorology. The present textbook is written to satisfy the various course requirements. The subject matter is both narrative and critical. Illustration have been added to make the subject matter all the more clear. At the end of each chapter a list of references have been given from which most of the material in the chapter is drawn. These references will also help the post graduate students for further reading. At the end of all chapter a list of terminology of agrometeorology has also been included to help students know about terms of agrometeorology. The authors acknowledge their indebtedness to the authors of various books monographs and periodicals from which they have drawn the matter in this textbook. In cases where a few tables have been reproduced acknowledgement is duly credited beneath each reproduction however in a few cases where it has not been possible to contact and obtain permission for reproduction the authors and publishers offer their sincere apologies. It is felt that this textbook meets a long felt need of students. We welcome suggestions from teachers as well as students to make the book more useful. Suggestions will receive the greatest consideration. 144 pp.

"A Practical Guide to FOOD PRESERVATION" is a manual intended to serve as a guide for preservation of fruits and vegetables through appropriate, practical, cost-effective and safe strategies, minimizing the risk of damaging food and this maximizing the utilization of agricultural outputs. The book dissects the exact mode or mechanism involved in each method of preservation by highlighting the effects on food properties. This manual begins with an overview of scope and importance of food preservation, cause of spoilage, principles and methods of preservation, selection of fruits and vegetables, etc. The chapters following have an extensive description of systematic, step-by-step and detailed preservation techniques. It also details methods of physical manipulation involving freezing and drying of fruits and vegetables. The recipes incorporated for preparation of jam, jelly, preserves, pickles, squashes, candies etc. are time tested and reliable. Containing fundamental and practical aspects of preservation techniques, this guide will help in understanding and learning how to process vegetables ands fruits, how one can use them, why failure in preservation may occur and how these failures may be avoided. It approaches to the needs of students of the Indian universities pursing courses on food, nutrition, food science and technology, dietetics. This manual is also of value to the teachers, researchers, small scale food processing units and others having concern with the field.

Participatory technology development. 5. Participatory crop improvement approach. 6. Farming systems research and extension. 7. Participatory approaches for CRRs management. 8. Participatory approach in forest management. 9. Epilogue lessons learnt. References. Subject index. During 1979 and after launching of National Agril Research Program Joint Forest Management (JFM) the use of PRA/RRA techniques started operating in different parts of the country. All these initiatives emphasized the involvement of local players as partners in the development initiatives that is people participation in the Govt. funded projects. These initiatives have made both positive and negative dent in the arena of Indian agriculture and allied sectors. This book is a compendium of such efforts and approaches employed for ensuring people's participation. The book tries to answer two main aspects (1) What are sequels of extensions approaches and how each approach is designed. (2) what are the lessons of each design or approach will to academicians researcher and policy makers above all the book is useful to under graduate and post graduate students and teachers in state agricultural universities and other universities in general. 128 pp.

Economic analysis. 6. Employment and income. 7. Utility of Pongamia tree. 8. Marketing of Pongamia seed. 9. Conclusion. 10. Subject index. 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.

Genetic resources and improvement. 7. Various recepies of velvet bean. 8. Global efforts to tap the vast potential of velvet bean. 9. References. Velvet bean is an underutilized tropical legume and possesses immense nutritional quality. It contains similar proportions of protein, lipid, minerals and other nutrients comparable to soybeans and other conventional legumes. The beans have been traditionally used as a food in a number of countries, viz., India, Philippines, Nigeria, Ghana, Brazil and Malawi. Recently the velvet beans are exploited as a protein source in the diets of fish, poultry, pig and cattle after processing. Although the velvet beans contain high levels of protein and carbohydrate, their utilization is limited due to the pressure of a number of antinutritional factors like phenolics, tannins, L-Dopa, lectins, protease inhibitors etc. Mucuna Pruriens L. is one of the popular and important medicinal plants of India. Presently, it is a constituent of more than 200 indigenous drug formulations. All parts of Mucuna pruriens posses valuable medicinal properties and there is a heavy demand of its various preparations in Indian and International drug markets. It is widely used in Ayurveda, and other systems of medicines in different parts of the world. In this publication, a comprehensive account of its phytochemical constituents, traditional uses, pharmacological activities, agronomic practices, genetic resources and improvement work have been included in view of the many recent findings of importants on this plant. Unfortunately even though many researchers all over the world working on Mucuna, only scanty and conflicting information are available regarding its utilization as a food/feed and medical applications. Hence, this text has been compiled covering the various aspects viz., botanical classification, nutritional potential vis-a-vis antinutritional factors, agronomic details, genetic resources and modern biotechnical approaches given in the text will be of immense use to the students, researchers, planners and to all those are involved in tapping the vast potential of this unique crop in sustainable agriculture and in field of Ayurvedic and herbal medicines.
