An attempt has been made in the field conditions to evaluate the effect of atmospheric temperature rise on yield, ionic ratio (Na:K), and accumulation of antioxidative pigments in wheat in different growth stages under different soils. Five planting windows (PW) were classified, based on date of wheat sowing where the average temperature difference...

A large extent of salt-affected land in the world provides both challenge and opportunity to bolster food security and sequester carbon after reclamation. Sustainable management of salt-affected soil for productive agriculture is a key to the prosperity of farmers in these areas. It also boosts expensive initiatives to further reclaim severely affe...

Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP) constitutes about 13% of the total geographical area of the India, and it produces about 50% of the total food grains. Salt infestation in soils is rampant which poses threat to productivity of agricultural lands, and change in climate could play vital role in further aggravating the problem. Many agricultural practices ca...

The Indo-Gangetic plain is characterized by intensive agriculture, largely by resource-poor small and marginal farmers. Vast swathes of salt-affected areas in the region provide both challenges and opportunities to bolster food security and sequester carbon after reclamation. Sustainable management of reclaimed soils via resource conservation strat...

An experiment was conducted to the alleviating adverse effects of soil salinity on biomass production and physiological changes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L) through application of zinc fertilizer. Three wheat varieties viz., KRL 19, NW 1012 (salt-tolerant) and HD 2285 (salt-susceptible) were grown in pots under two non-saline (0, 20 kg ZnSO 4) an...

Identification of geochemical process controlling groundwater fluoride in Unnao district Uttar Pradesh using graphical and multivariate statistical approach

Conservation tillage and residue management are the options for enhancing soil organic carbon stabilization by improving soil aggregation in tropical soils. We studied the influence of different combinations of tillage and residue management on carbon stabilization in different sized soil aggregates and also on crop yield after 5 years of continuou...

The chromium doped zinc telluride (ZnTe:Cr) as well as ZnTe thin films and their sandwich structures were prepared onto glass substrate by thermal evaporation method under the vacuum of 10-5 Torr. We have studied the structural, optical and electrical properties of thermally evaporated Cr-doped ZnTe thin films as a function of Cr concentration. XRD...

This paper examines the nexus between poverty and global health with specific focus on IPR protection and attempts to highlight the current global endeavours to overcome barriers to access to medicines for diseases of the poor. The number of very poor people in the world has increased by 10.4 per cent between 1987 and 2001 to 2735 million. India is...
