Soft cover. Condition: New. Livestock and forage sector is the backbone of Indian agriculture, looked at to enhance productivity, impact stability, and double farmers income. Livestock sector contributes nearly 4.4% to the total GDP. But, Indian animals are low yielders due to lack of quality feed and fodder and poor genetic potential. Currently, India faces a net deficit of green fodder, dry crop residues and feed. This calls for a need to understand the forage scenario of the country to ensure supply of quality fodder by adopting sustainable production and conservation techniques. The 'Textbook on Forages' is designed to provide adequate and up-to-date information on overall forage management. The book is divided into ten chapters covering different aspects, viz. Introduction to forage and livestock resources of India; Kharif, Rabi and perennial forage crops; Grazing resources and their management; Forage processing, conservation and utilization; Farm machinery; Non-conventional forage resources; Issues and strategies, etc. to give in-depth details and provide comprehensive understanding of the subject with latest facts.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on fertiliser use in agriculture.The first chapter examines the role of biofertilizers and consortia of microorganisms to improve the effectiveness of organic fertilization, before moving on to consider the use of animal excrement, including manures, slurry and guano.The second chapter assesses the management of mineral fertilisers and organic manures in relation to its effects on soil health in terms of soil organic carbon and nitrogen, soil acidification and soil microbiology.The third chapter discusses the history, current status, and future needs of fertilizer developments in light of the goal of achieving global sustainability. It reviews developments in using efficient fertilizer sources to meet the needs of advancing yields of modern crop cultivars/hybrids.The fourth chapter reviews some of the approaches used by decision support systems to determine fertiliser application decisions. The chapter highlights direct methods and indirect techniques: simulation models, yield forecasts using data-driven approaches and yield forecasts based on water supply.The final chapter explores the implementation of foliar fertilizer sprays in agriculture for improving crop yield and quality, as well as improving plant performance under abiotic and/or biotic stress threats.…
