Download or read book Good agricultural practices GAP written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rice plays an important role in Myanmar's agricultural economy, livelihoods, and food security. The country possesses favourable conditions to enhance rice productivity, quality, and export opportunities across the value chain. Achieving this involves improving farm-level productivity, processing practices, and overall rice competitiveness. Effective strategies include adopting and expanding good agricultural practices (GAP) to enhance food safety and quality. Gaps in knowledge, access, and efficiency of inputs and services for rice were identified through a comprehensive GAP situational analysis. Validation was achieved through research, discussions with market actors and stakeholders as well as insights from FAO experts, and extensive data research.The objective of GAP dissemination involves a systematic, impact-oriented approach with stakeholder involvement. Context-specific information will be collected at the farmer's field. Capacity-building efforts involve lead farmer organizations, public–private partners, and value chain actors. The framework contains pre- and post-harvest practices tailored for small and medium farmers, supported by farmer organizations, sensitization, technical assistance, and market linkages. On-farm demonstrations, farmer field schools, training, and information and communications technology (ICT) tools supplement GAP promotion. User-friendly integrated pest management (IPM) handbooks and Farmer Field School (FFS) curricula complement the framework, guiding capacity-building efforts for farmers and GAP stakeholders to support and complement existing initiatives.
Download or read book Science of Agronomy written by U.S. Walia and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is the largest enterprise in India which has been and will continue to be the lifeline of the Indian economy in the foreseeable future. However due to urbanization, agricultural land is shrinking and human population is increasing year by year. So, there is a need for vertical increase in agricultural produce to feed the increasing population. Due to changing climatic conditions, there is a need for reorientation of presently practiced agricultural technologies. At the same time there is a need to save/conserve the natural resources. Crop yields can be improved with the adoption of improved production and protection technologies for raising field crops. In order to increase profit in agriculture, the farm inputs like fertilizers, irrigation water, pesticides etc. must be used judiciously and more stress should be laid on conservation agriculture. The book covers basic but very comprehensive information on history of agriculture and role of Agronomy, tillage practices, nutrient elements for plant growth, weeds and their management, irrigation management, crop physiology, crop ecology, integrated farming system and organic farming. A detailed information on history and origin, improved varieties, agronomic practices and plant protection techniques for important field crops viz. cereals, oilseeds, pulses, sugar crops and fibre crops has been given. Also information on cultivation practices for important medicinal, aromatic, spice crops as well as plantation crops along with their uses/medicinal values has been provided.
