Soil Testing as a Tool for On-Farm Fertility Management: Experience from the Semi-arid Zone of India

, 2013
Rainfed agriculture in the dry regions is affected by water shortages. Our earlier research showed that the deficiencies not only of major nutrients but also those of sulfur (S) and micronutrients are holding back the potential of agricultural production

Comparison of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L) varieties grown in organic trials: lodging and plant height

Agricultural and Food Science
Lodging is one of the main factors influencing yield reduction in both organic and conventional systems. In the organic system, lodging is mainly controlled by selecting varieties with increased resistance to lodging, by regulating sowing density, or by
