Crop Foraging, Crop Losses, and Crop Raiding [PDF]
Crop foraging or crop raiding concerns wildlife foraging and farmers’ reactions and responses to it. To understand crop foraging and its value to wildlife or its implications for humans requires a cross-disciplinary approach that considers the behavior and ecology of wild animals engaging in this behavior; the types and levels of competition for ...

Crops for Carbon Farming [PDF]
Agricultural cropping systems and pasture comprise one third of the world’s arable land and have the potential to draw down a considerable amount of atmospheric CO2 for storage as soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving the soil carbon budget. An improved soil carbon budget serves the dual purpose of promoting soil health, which supports crop ...

Minor Crops: A Path towards Crop Diversification [PDF]
With passage of time, there has been paradigm shift observed in dietary intake of people henceforth disturbing the balance of nutrients required by the body. Due to the leap towards major cereal crops to feed the growing population, impetus towards minor crops have observed a continuous decline.

SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF CROP CROPPING.
The purpose of the research: The scientific basis of alternating sowing of crops by fields and years is called crop rotation. Such alternating planting creates conditions for controlling the amount of organic matter in the soil, effective control of weeds, plant diseases and pests, provides the granular structure of the soil, improves the nutrition and

Suitability of different crops and cropping systems for contingency crop planning
The experiment was conducted at the Dry Land Agricultural Research Centre, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani during Kharif and Rabi seasons of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. Eight different promising cropping systems of important crop of Marathwada region were tested in varied weather condition under rain fed agriculture. At the

Ozone effects on crops and consideration in crop models
We review current knowledge of the processes by which ozone will cause injury and damage in crop plants. We do this both through an understanding of the limitations to ozone uptake (i.e. ozone being transferred from some height in the atmosphere to the leaf boundary layer and subsequent uptake via the stomata) as well as through the internal plant ...
