There are fourteen more grain legumes Viz., cowpea, cluster bean, hyacinth bean, jack bean, broad bean jombi pea, Rajmash, broad bean, lima bean, rice bean winged bean, velvet bean, adzuki bean and Pillipesara which are grown ...
Animal physiology is the study of the internal physical and chemical functions of animals. Professionals in this field may explore the makeup of animals, including their genetics, behaviours and their biological structure. A degree in animal physiology can lead to opportunities in a wide variety of areas, including fisheries, veterinary sciences and pharmaceutical research. This book entitled “Animal Physiology” consists of 25 chapters. The chapters ...
Animal Science is described as studying the biology of animals that are under the control of humankind. Historically, the degree was called animal husbandry and he animals studied were livestock species, like cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and horses. Today, courses available now look at a far broader area to include companion animals like dogs and cats, and many exotic species. This book entitled “Recent trends in Animal Sciences” consists of 24 ...
There is need to shift from nutrient management to a holistic soil health management approach to unlock the stagnation in enhancing the crop productivity. This book provides a glimpse of management options derived through intense research efforts, for preserving soil health for the sustained crop productivity in plantation crops sector.
In Plants and Society Prof. NS Rangaswamy presents under one title a coherent account of the most wildly scattered knowledge on the incredible variety of plant materials, plant poisons and drugs, and plant products and produce that have been used in committing or solving crimes, with historical, global, national, sociological, medical, economical, biological, legal and religious perspectives. Besides criminal abortion, foeticide, infanticide, homicide and ...
Over the years, our scientific understanding and technical skills on biodiversity researches have expanded in many terrestrial ecosystems with less information on various aspects of tropical forest biodiversity. This book has presented an overview on current state of biodiversity in different Indian tropical natural and modified ecosystems. Information presented in this book covered an overview on biodiversity, present status and future scope of biodiversity in ...
In recent era of Anthropocene, rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization caused severe threat to natural systems and hand in hand perturbed the global ecosystems and environment. Before the launch of Rachel Carson novel Silent Spring in 1962, describing the impact of a pesticide on birds, environment was generally overlooked and development was the prime priority. After ten years of Carson book, occurrence of Stockholm conference in 1972 triggered and ...
Digital Forestry as a concept was developed after the Digital Earth program. Digital forestry is a digital framework to maintain forest planting, management, using and protect. The synergetic use of computationally intensive quantitative methods together with information technologies is the most important foundation for the development of digital forestry. Under this situation, a number of academicians, scholar, and professional administrators were involved in ...
India is recognized all over the world as the abode of many spices since time immemorial. The importance of spices can be traced from vasco-da-Gama’s time, and the Indian spices still occupy a prominent position in the international trade. However there is shrinkage in the export volume in recent time in respect of some spices like black pepper, ginger and small cardamom due to competition from other countries as well as increase of price in the domestic ...
Abiotic stress is the foremost factor adversely affecting crop growth and productivity globally. It cause changes in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and is responsible for reduction in yield potential in many crops. Abiotic stresses provoke complex cellular responses that have been elucidated by progresses made in exploring and understanding plant abiotic responses at the whole-plant, physiological, biochemical, cellular and molecular levels. Plants respond to ...
This monograph is a novel attempt for providing the ample awareness to the current status of the antibacterial potential of various medicinal plants. This volume discloses the collision of antibiotic resistance that lead to necessitate the use of alternative medicines derived from natural products especially from plants. Plants selected in the present study are well known in daily life usage and are easily available throughout the Indian sub-continent. However, ...
