A multi-dimensional analysis of integrated farming system in salt-affected ecologies

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
The horizontal expansion of the arable areas seems infeasible with dwindling natural resources and declining the average size of landholdings. For harnessing the economic, environmental and social benefits of vertical expansion, the Integrated Farming ...

Standardization of the fourier transform near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy for estimation of some oil quality parameters in mustard (Brassica spp.)

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2013
The possibility of the application of the fourier transform near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to the analysis of the selected quality parameters in the mustard oil was followed to determine oil, protein, erucic acid and crude fibre content at

Seasonal variations in tree water use and physiology correlate with soil salinity and soil water content in remnant woodlands on saline soils [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. Ecophysiological studies of remnant woodlands in saline environments are scarce. We investigated seasonal fluctuations in soil water and salinity together with leaf and branch traits (area-based maximum assimilation (Amax), foliar ...

Impact of pressmud application in reclamation of high RSC irrigation water induced soil sodification and sustaining rice (Oryza sativa) - wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in Indo-Gangetic Plains

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Farmers mostly prefer mineral gypsum as reclamation ameliorant for sodic soils. Timely availability of quality product many a times hampers the pace of reclamation process impairing crops productivity to a greater extent.

Interactions among salt marsh plants vary geographically but not latitudinally along the California coast. [PDF]

, 2017
The strength of species interactions often varies geographically and locally with environmental conditions. Competitive interactions are predicted to be stronger in benign environments while facilitation is expected to be stronger in harsh ones.

Performance of edible cactus (Opuntiaficus-indica) in saline environments

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014
Edible cactus [Opuntiaficus-indica (L.) Mill.] has been used as fruit, vegetable, forage and wide range of commercial purposes in arid regions. It has high efficiency to produce biomass per unit water use due to specialized photosynthetic mechanism ...

Wheat growth and phytoavailability of copper and zinc as affected by soil texture in saline-sodic conditions [PDF]

, 2011
Nutrient disorders in saline-sodic soils can adversely affect crop growth. In order to evaluate the growth response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to Cu and Zn and the phytoavailability of these essential elements, a pot experiment was conducted in ...
