धान की उपज में वृद्धि के लिए सिलिकॉन का महत्व Silicon (Si) is next to oxygen (O) in quantity on earth’s crust. Silicon in combination with oxygen forms silicon dioxide (SiO2) which is also known as silica. About 87% of the earth’s surface is made up of silica. There are 200 over types of silicate rocks in nature. These include quartz and mica. The white mica is made up of silicon, potassium and aluminum whereas the black mica contains iron and magnesium. The original soil minerals are predominantly silicate compounds. The silicon in sand, silt, and clay is extremely insoluble and difficult to be absorbed by plant. However, under the reaction of soil...

वृक्ष बीमा: भारत में एक नई पहल Agriculture production and farm incomes in India are frequently affected by natural disasters such as droughts, floods, cyclones, storms, landslides and earthquakes. Susceptibility of agriculture to these disasters is compounded by the outbreak of epidemics and man made disasters such as fire, sale of spurious seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, price crashes etc. To overcome these uncontrollable factors, agriculture insurance came to life. Agricultural Insurance is a means of protecting the  agriculturist against financial losses due to uncertainties that may arise agricultural losses  arising from named or all unforeseen risks beyond their control (AIC, 2008). In this ever changing era of climate change, everything has become uncertain. To...

अनुवांशिक रूप से संशोधित फसलों का पता लगाने के लिए पार्श्व प्रवाह इम्यूनोएसे The development technologies in genetic engineering give rise to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Genetically modified (GM) crops have become a reality in agriculture, food and feed market. Genetic engineering includes – insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought and salt tolerance, improved colors in fiber and flower crops, resistance to water logging and  longer shelf-life. The genetically modified (gm) crops have contributed to the successful incorporation of different traits by introducing transgenes such as bacillus thuringiensis (bt) insecticidal genes (cry1ab, cry1ac, cry1f, cry2ab, cry3a, vip3), herbicide tolerant genes  (cp4epsps, bar, pat, als), virus resistant (cp, prsv-cp, rep, hel), delayed ripening genes (sam-k, acc, pg), genes for color modification. B. thuringiensis and Cry protein toxins are efficient, safe and sustainable...

प्रमुख चारा फसलों मे में जीवों के फायदेमंद संघ The main constraints for productivity of fodder crops are lack of availability of soil nutrients, quality seeds and various pests and diseases. These constraints not only influence on the productivity, but also quality of fodder. Resource poor farmers often cultivate forage on low productive soils to make use of the idle land and do not apply the required quantity of nutrients. Such farmers have several options to boost crop yields by applying low cost inputs such as soil amendments, organic manure and bio-fertilisers. Unfortunately, most of them do not bother to apply biofertilisers and soil amendments due to their ignorance and difficulty in procuring...

जलकुंभी: कृषि के लिए एक गंभीर खतरा Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a free floating perennial aquatic plant, native to South America.  Water hyacinth is a popular water garden plant because of the beauty of its large, purple to violet flowers and its interesting floating vegetation. Many plant nurseries and big box stores sell it as an ornamental pond plant. Later it was seen that the plant is basically a very aggressive invader which can form thick mats on water surface. Gradually, it is known that among the aquatic plants, water hyacinth is the worst aquatic plant in the world. It becomes a fierce competition with other micro flora and fauna in the...

दार्जिलिंग हिमालय क्षेत्र में कृष्‍णा फलों का विश्लेषण Passion fruit (कृष्‍णा फल), a high value foreign exchange earning fruit crop rich in appreciable quantities of vitamin A, B, C with medicinal value, is mostly grown at an altitude of 800-1500 m above mean sea level. The cultivation of passion fruit is mostly restricted to few of the North Eastern states and hilly regions of South India. It has a very good scope of commercial cultivation in the Darjeeling Himalayan Regions of West Bengal particularly Kalimpong and Kurseong subdivisions. This will help the small farmers to improve their economic condition that ultimately leads to overall prosperity of this region.  Darjeeling Krishi Vigyan Kendra will provide...

ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्पादन पर मानवकृत गतिविधियों और कृषि कार्यो का प्रभाव Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gas­es, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. Human activities like burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), deforestation and various agricultural and industrial practices, are altering the composition of the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.  These human activities have led to increased atmospheric concentrations of a number of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone in the lower part of the atmosphere. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to...

कार्बन ट्रेडिंग पर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय सम्मेलन और वैश्विक पहल Carbon is the common denominator in all polluting gases that cause global warming. Carbon dioxide is the gas most commonly thought of as a greenhouse gas. It is responsible for about half of the atmospheric heat retained by trace gasses. It is produced primarily by burning of fossils fuels and deforestation accompanied by burning and bio-degradation of biomass.  It is estimated that if the CO2 increases in the atmosphere at the present rate and no positive efforts are pursued, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere would go up to 800-1000 ppm by the end of current century. Which may create havoc for all living...

कृषि वानिकी (एग्रोफोरेस्ट्री): शुष्क भूमि क्षेत्रों में ग्रामीण आजीविका की सुरक्षा में सुधार करने की रणनीति Most of the rural poor are small holders practicing low inputs agricultural production and living in arid and semi-arid regions of dry lands. Some dry land regions of India are characterized by erratic rainfall, high temperature, and poor quality land where the prospects of successful arable cropping are limited & risky. Production system under the fragile dryland environment challenged with several biophysical & socio-economic problems. The growing food insecurity and deteriorating livelihood situations in dry regions of India call for concerted and consorted actions to take advantage of the high potential of agro forestry, among other systems,...
