AMF inoculation reduces yield losses in rice exposed to alternate wetting and drying and low fertilization. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance the uptake of water and nutrients by host plants. In this study, we examined the response of six rice varieties from two ecotypes (three irrigated and three rainfed upland varieties) to AMF inoculation at five ...

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.
