Download or read book Integrated Pest Management in Diverse Cropping Systems written by Devendra Pal Singh and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-02-01 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change has intensified in recent decades, which has affected crop production as well as facilitated the emergence of new diseases and insect pests, causing serious threats to agriculture. Farmers have mostly taken a crop-based approach to insect pest management (IPM); the authors of this new volume, however, take the unique approach that IPM based on specific cropping systems is more efficient, resulting in reduced cultivation costs, increased yield and profitability, and decreased residue from crop produce and products. This volume presents the results of research done by crop protection scientists on integrated pest management in diverse cropping systems based on rice, wheat, maize, pulses, food legumes, oilseeds, groundnut, potato, and other horticulture crops. With chapters written by well-known and experienced scientists in their fields, this volume provides in-depth knowledge on integrated pest management in conjunction with an array of specific cropping systems, taking into consideration all the elements, including the crops, crop sequences, spatial and temporal aspects of managing an agricultural system, and other aspects. This volume will be valuable for entomologists, plant pathologists, and agronomists, as well as for farmers—both small and industrial sized, agricultural extension centers, faculty and students, and many others involved with crop cultivation.
Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture and the International Rice Wheat System written by Rattan Lal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-05-24 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing a topic of major importance to the maintenance of world food supplies, this reference identifies knowledge gaps, defines priorities, and formulates recommendations for the improvement of the rice-wheat farming system. The book reveals new systems of rice intensification and management and illustrates the application of no-till and conservation farming to the rice-wheat system. With contributions from 65 international experts, and case studies from India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, Sustainable Agriculture and the International Rice-Wheat System focuses on seeding equipment and residue management, weed control, water and nutrient efficiency, and integrated pest management.
Download or read book The Effect of Azolla on Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice wheat Rotations of Nepal written by Junoo Kamal Tuladhar and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The low productivity of the rice-wheat cropping system in Nepal is associated with a low efficiency of applied mineral N in rice. The aquatic fern Azolla was used to reduce N losses via ammonia volatilization from the flooded lowland rice in farmers' field conditions in Nepal. The Azolla cover changed the floodwater chemistry, thus reducing ammonia volatilization losses. The use of Azolla in combination with Urea increased rice yields by 15% and reduced urea-N losses from 17-38% to 2-8%. A combined use of Azolla and urea is a viable option to enhance the productivity of rice-wheat systems in Nepal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the United Nations, 77 million people are expected to face water shortage by 2025, if people continue to use water at the current rate. More water than available would be needed to grow the worlds food during the next decade. As a result of scarcity of water, global annual food production losses could reach 350 million tons by 2025.Di

Download or read book Sustaining crop water productivity in rice wheat systems of South Asia A case study from the Punjab Pakistan written by Waqar Ahmed Jehangir and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2007-04-23 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This working paper presents the results of the Pakistan Component of the Rice-Wheat Consortium Project on ‘Sustaining the rice-wheat production systems of Asia’. Rice and wheat crops are main nsources of human food and substantially contribute to feeding livestock. The advent of the green revolution in the 1960s resulted in a tremendous increase in the production of these two cereal crops and the rice-wheat cropping system emerged as a very important source of food supply in South Asia. Recent symptoms of stagnant growth rates in productivity and the degradation of the resource base pose serious challenges to future food security and natural resources management in the region. The growing scarcity of water in the region

This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a timely review of concepts in plant disease management involving microbial soil suppressiveness and organic amendments. Topics discussed include the impact of suppressive soils on plant pathogens and agricultural productivity, the enhancement of soil suppressiveness through the application of compost and the development of disease suppressive soils through agronomic management. Further chapters describe diseases caused by phytopathogens, such as Pythium, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, interaction of rhizobia with soil suppressiveness factors, biocontrol of plant parasitic nematodes by fungi and soil suppressive microorganisms.
