पोषण सुरक्षा के लिए सब्जियाें का प्रयोग  Consumption of less than 300 g of vegetables per person per day in many countries is common today and this low amount, often in conjunction with poverty and poor medical services, is associated with unacceptable levels of mortality and malnutrition in present school children and other vulnerable groups. The diversified and highly nutritive vegetables are of great importance in alleviating malnutrition. The scientific community is ready to play its role in battling malnutrition and hunger, but unless the political resolve can be found to support the causes of both food and nutritional security together, it is unlikely that the Millennium Development Goals will be achieved...

हिमाचल प्रदेश में उत्तर-पश्चिमी हिमालय के मध्य पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में आलू और फ्रैंचबीन की लाभकारी अंत:फसली खेती। Potato crop produces higher dry matter per unit area and time offers excellent opportunity for intercropping.  It is also a high value cash crop and thus enhances profitability of the system.  Potato crop fits well in different multiple and intercropping systems.  However, some minor adjustments are needed in production technology to make potato based cropping system profitable. The advantages of intercropping are well recognized in India where the holdings are very small  to medium and the land under cultivation is limited. Intercropping allows complimentary use of available resources like water, space, light and nutrients for...

The use of crop products available at the domestic level in food grain storage by traditional practices भारत में अनाज और तिलहन की फसलों में 10 से 20 प्रतिशत तक का नुकसान अनुमानित है (चहल, 2011)। सरकारी रिकार्ड के अनुसार, अकेले साल 2010 में सरकारी गोदामों में 11,700 टन भण्डारित खाद्यान्न सड़ जाने से भारत को भारी आर्थिक नुकसान पहुंचा है (चहल, 2011)। अनाज की खपत की भारी मांग और उसके महत्व को ध्यान में रखते हुए अनाज के उचित भंडारण को नकारा नहीं जा सकता। सुरक्षित भण्डारण के लिये कई पारम्परिक प्रथाएँ आसानी से प्रयोग में लाई जाती है व काफी किफायती और वातावरण के अनुकूल है। ये प्रक्रियाएं आमतौर पर...

फल फसलों में अंतःफसले उगाने की वि‍धि‍यॉं। Intercropping, as one of the multiple cropping systems, has been practiced by farmers for many years in various ways and most areas, and has played a very important role in India. There is more cooperation in nature than competition. Cooperation is exemplified by mutually beneficial relationships that occur between species within communities.. When two or more crops are growing together, each should have adequate space to maximize cooperation and reduce competition between them. This is accomplished by the following factors namely: spatial arrangement, plant density, maturity dates of the crops grown, plant architecture. The objectives of Inter-cropping Systems are:  Inter-cropping was originally practiced as an insurance against...

उत्तर-पश्चिमी और उत्तर-पूर्वी पहाड़ियों के अंतर्गत आलू उत्पादकता बनाए रखने के लिए जैव उर्वरक Biofertilizers can play an important role in potato crop which has higher nutrients need because of its sparse root system.  The acidic hill soils of north western and north eastern hills have P fixing problem, thus it becomes imperative to adopt environment friendly approaches through integrated use of bio-fertilizers, chemical fertilizers and organic manures in right proportion for ensuring optimum potato yield. Nitrogen bio-fertilizers enhance the soil N availability by fixing the atmospheric nitrogen into plant usable-N by symbiotic or non-symbiotic fixation, whereas, P solubilizing bacteria (PSB) or fungi from phosphate bio-fertilizers produce organic acids which in release...
