Improving inherent potential of crops for increased natural and applied inputs use efficiency, stress tolerance and favourable proximate composition changes through genetic manipulations is one of the several approaches to sustain high productivity along with high quality and nutritive value in different agro-ecological conditions to increase the global per capita food supply and hence for reducing hunger and nutrition insecurity. The demand for healthy foods and ...
World over, agricultural research and development as well as education are important facets of ensuring enhanced productivity value addition, bio-energy sustainability and environmental security. Sustainable development would entail in its objectives that linkages between productivity sustainability profitability are harnessed to uplift rural economy and consumers satisfaction and human ecology. Moreover emerging scenario of agriculture research and market trends ...
The world population is continuously increasing especially in developing countries.This jeopardises food security and is a serious cause of concern for the governments, policy planners and development fuctionaries globally and in particular countries locally. In order to achieve food security for all, it would be imperative to enhance crop and live stock production and productivity in a sustainable manner. Climate change, and dwindling earth oil resources impact ...
Crop productivity is predominantly determined by the crop genotype, production environment, and their interaction, Several plant processes are involved in making crop yield and end use quality of agricultural produce. Therefore, knowledge of process control and rate limiting traits and genes governingthem under optimum and stress environments is valuable in crop and/or crop genotypeselectionforvarious agro-ecological niches. In order to sustain food and ...
In order to meet the food, feed, fiber, fuel needs of ever increasing human and animal population world over, particularly in developing nations of Africa and Asia and South America, a commensurate enhancement in crop production has to be in place. The ultimate aim of sustainable agriculture is be to enhance food production on continuous basis while maintaining the natural resource base in accordance with carrying capacity of supporting agro-eco system. Most of ...
