The Western Region of Geological Survey of India is presenting through this publication surface and subsurface geological set-up of the area to the west of aravalli range. Ana area covering more than 50,000 km2 was investigated through drilling involving 58,945 m of drilling in 69 boreholes for exploration of potash, a fertilizer mineral, besides developing the geological set-up. This project started in the year 1974 and continued till 1991.

From the foreword by Dr. M.S. Swaminathan: Director General, International Rice Research Institute, Manila. "Recent advances in molecular biology have opened by unusual possibilities for the construction of molecular linkage maps and for gene transfer across sexual barriers. A basic requisite in such work is a precise understanding of chromosome numbers and morphology. Unfortunately in many plants, we still do not know the chromosome number and whether ...
Live storage at present constitutes only 10 per cent of the total water potential of the country. Hand in hand technology development in drilling and pumping methods has paved the way for massive exploitation of groundwater mainly for irrigation (85 per cent) and for industry and domestic purposes (15 per cent). Such a localized over drawl of ground water has to be compensated adequately by harnessing surplus monsoonal flows along with expansion of water storage ...
Irrigation is the key input in crop production. Its scientific management therefore warrants study of the related engineering aspects; such as, its application methods, scheduling, crop water requirement and water use efficiency etc. in a systematic way in order to not only save considerable amount of water but to have sustainable agricultural productivity as well. Excessive water application without considering the evaporative needs of the plants is mainly ...
Indian land, fortunately, is the wettest in the world but the crisis in terms of spread and within year distribution of rainfall affects one in three people. The annual average rainfall of 1170 mm, by any standards, can be categorized as water rich but its spread and non-uniformity, within a year, are the major reasons for acute shortage of water during non-rainy months. The water storage capacities, therefore, have to be increased adequately. Scientific short ...
The book “Vegetable Seed Production technology†has been compiled by the authors keeping in view the production quality of vegetable seeds and to meet out the increasing demand of the4 country. The quality and yield of vegetable production totally depends upon the quality seeds used by the growers. Quality vegetable crop seed production is itself a business and much more paying on the basis of per unit area to the growers in comparison to other field crops. ...
