Book Cowpea in India

Download or read book Cowpea in India written by D. Kumar and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowpea an important food legume, is adapted to wide ranges of soil and rainfall situations, hence, cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is the crop of low and high rainfall regions, grown particularly as a mixed/inter crop for various-purposes. Cowpea is an ancient source of food, forage, fodder, vegetable, certain snacks, cover crop and an important component of cropping system. The crop has been investigated for its varied aspects to make it more productive, useful, sustenance, source of organic food and the crop of common masses. The information so generated is scattered, unsystematic and not readily available at a place. It is desired that research results of various aspects generated in India are collected, compiled and systematically arranged so as to draw viable and valuable conclusion by the intended users and planners. In view of this, present compilation "Cowpea in India" represents a treasure of scientific information by reputed researchers throughout the country. The compilation comprises fourteen chapters devoted to plant improvement, crop husbandry, resistance towards abiotic stresses, genetic resources of quantitative and qualitative nature, plant protection, soil nematodes, forage aspects, uses, vegetable purposes etc. The book it is hoped would be of great use and help to those concerned with all over cowpea advancement and development in one way or other.

Book Genetic Improvement of Vegetable Crops

Download or read book Genetic Improvement of Vegetable Crops written by G. Kalloo and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic improvement has played a vital role in enhancing the yield potential of vegetable crops. There are numerous vegetable crops grown worldwide and variable degrees of research on genetics, breeding and biotechnology have been conducted on these crops. This book brings together the results of such research on crops grouped as alliums, crucifers, cucurbits, leaf crops, tropical underground and miscellaneous. Written by eminent specialists, each chapter concentrates on one crop and covers cytology, genetics, breeding objectives, germplasm resources, reproductive biology, selection breeding methods, heterosis and hybrid seed production, quality and processing attributes and technology. This unique collection will be of great value to students, scientists and vegetable breeders as it provides a reference guide on genetics, breeding and biotechnology of a wide range of vegetable crops.

Book Legumes for Global Food Security  volume II

Download or read book Legumes for Global Food Security volume II written by and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity is facing many global challenges. These include 1) achieving food security for a rapidly growing population, 2) slowing the progression of climate change by reducing the production and release of greenhouse gases as consequence of human activity, and 3) meeting the increasing demand for clean energy that will not harm the environment. In this regard, legumes deliver several important services to societies. Legumes provide a diverse range of food crops that are significant sources of plant-based proteins for humans globally. Grain legumes present outstanding nutritional and nutraceutical properties, while being an affordable food that contributes to achieving future global food and feed security in the context of an increasing world population.

Book Lost Crops of Africa

Download or read book Lost Crops of Africa written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-10-27 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series of three evaluating underexploited African plant resources that could help broaden and secure Africa's food supply. The volume describes the characteristics of 18 little-known indigenous African vegetables (including tubers and legumes) that have potential as food- and cash-crops but are typically overlooked by scientists and policymakers and in the world at large. The book assesses the potential of each vegetable to help overcome malnutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and create sustainable landcare in Africa. Each species is described in a separate chapter, based on information gathered from and verified by a pool of experts throughout the world. Volume I describes African grains and Volume III African fruits.
