.Advances in Agrotechnology I

A V Ramanjaneyulu, N C Sarkar and Ratikanta Maiti

Rs. 935.00 ~~Rs. 1,700.00~~ 45 % off

Overview

Advances in Agro-technology (vol I), editors have looked to offer readers an account of the state of the art in some of the areas of major interest and concern by agricultural researchers around the world. These areas include diverse aspects of applied plant biology such as salinity tolerance in crops; new developments in basic physiology of photosynthesis; success in breeding of root systems adaptation to salinity and drought stress; use of feed additives, growth promoters and probiotics in animal production; crop management trends including pesticide use, integrated farming systems, practices in organic agriculture, application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and biological nitrogen fixation. The advances in Agrotechnology reported in this volume are intended to provide the scientist and the student in agricultural sciences with a close insight - hopefully a motivating glimpse - into the recent realization that the frailty of natural or man-made ecosystems faced with a threat such as that posed by global climate change is no different from the frailty of any sort of human material prosperity. Interestingly, the diversified areas of the book will definitely bring a new look in the advances of agricultural research with through discussion on the aspect.

Advance in Agrotechnology I

Humberto G. Rodriguez, A V Ramanjaneyulu, N C Sarkar and Ratikanta Maiti

Rs. 440.00 ~~Rs. 550.00~~ 20 % off

Overview

This second volume is a sequel to the first volume of Advances in Agrotechnology. Significant advancement has been taken place across the world in the arena of managing the natural resources. Editors have tried to focus on the areas viz., management of problematic soils, rainfed dry lands and weeds, efficient utilization of water through construction of farm ponds and adoption of micro irrigation with due care for water quality, integrated nutrient management for conjunctive use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrition with a view to sustain the soil fertility and improve the soil productivity, use of modern tools like remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) for preparation of prediction models and reduce the cost of cultivation with due consideration to climate. The book also covered another interesting topic on cost effective biofortification with main emphasis on micronutrient management with an objective of addressing the problem of alleviating micronutrient malnutrition. Further, precision farming chapter which covered technology for the developed as well as developing countries is another important one. The elicit discussion on biological control of diseases is the value addition of the book around the scope of the context. In this era of advancements in information and communication technologies, huge amount of information generated is available to readers. However, it is a matter of confusion to the readers to select best out of it. The resource persons and editors have made sincere efforts to pen the chapters by reviewing the global research published in international and national journals/periodicals/ monographs in an orderly and simple manner for easy understanding.

Production and Post-harvest Technology of World Vegetable and Tuber Crops

Ratikanta Maiti and Humberto G. Rodriguez

Rs. 1,100.00 ~~Rs. 2,000.00~~ 45 % off

Overview

The book is the compilation of comprehensive study of vegetable and tuber crops Worldwide. In the changing scenario of climate, it is well understood that merely agronomic management practices starting from sowing to nutrient, water, pest and disease management will not be able to produce potential harvest. In present days, growth limiting factors like drought, heat, cold shock, chilling stress, salinity, metal stress, allelopathy have posed alarming threat against successful crop production. So, physiological basis of crop growth and productivity must be well versed to formulate appropriate counter measures to overcome such constraints. Moreover, the productivity of the crop is guided by various physiological processes like efficient seedling growth, photosynthesis and translocation of photosynthates, sucrose accumulation, growth regulators, ABA, ethylene, brassinoid and balanced mineral nutrition etc. Authors have tried to concentrate all these aspects in lucid manner reviewing the up-to-date research investigation. The book widely covers solanaceous crops like chilli, potato, tomato and eggplant; cucurbit vegetables- squash, pumpkin, cucumber, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, muskmelon and watermelon; cole crops- spinach, coriander, parsley, celery, lettuce; root and tuber crops- carrot, turnip, beet root, radish, turmeric, colocasia, cassava, yam, sweet potato; bulb crops- onion, garlic, leeks; leguminous crops- cluster bean, snap bean, green peas, broad bean; other crops like okra, sparagus, shallot, rhubard. It will definitely be a rare book to the global readers.
