Eco-Friendly Agriculture
Abstract: The green revolution brought a huge increase in rice and wheat yields in Asia, but it relied heavily on chemicals and machines that harm the environment. This approach isn’t sustainable and puts our lands, forests, and water at risk. To secure our food and economic future, especially in developing countries, we need to find ways to grow more food without hurting the planet. One solution is to use sustainable farming …

Climate Change and Smart-Agricultural Water-Use Efficiency: Implications On the Farming Season and Food Security in Nigeria
Abstract: The agricultural water-use efficiency of smallholder farming is under threat due to the impacts of climate change as it concerns farming seasons and agricultural production in other to achieve food security. This issue has raised significant alarm among local farmers, particularly as many rely on rain-fed agriculture as their primary means of food production. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) techniques have been recommended by The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to help …

Preceding winter season crops and residue management practices on root: shoot characters,yield and economics of succeeding pearlmillet under no-ill tilled semi-arid ecosystem
Abstract: Conservation agriculture practices,such as no-tillage with residue recycling is a very popular feasible approach to increase the productivity and resource-use efficiency under rainfed ecosystem. A field experiment wasaccomplished at IARI, Pusa, NewDelhi toidentify suitable pearl millet based cropping systems mainly with wheat, chickpea and mustardalongwith the organic mulches,viz.no residues, crop residues and Leucaenatwigs applied to both summer and winter season crops grown in sequence during 2010–2011 and 2011-2012. Both rainy- …

Organic Farming for Future Aspects: A Review
Abstract: Agriculture, integral to the economies of developed and developing nations, has a rich history shaping human societies. However, modern practices pose environmental challenges, impacting nutrient cycles, soil erosion, and carbon sequestration. Organic farming emerges as a vital solution, minimizing ecological impact through sustainable practices, preserving natural cycles, and potentially enhancing food quality. As a cornerstone of sustainable development, organic farming addresses the urgent need for environmentally conscious agricultural methods. Additionally, …

Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme activity ofwheat during grain filling period under conservation agriculture management
Abstract: For smooth and wider adoption of conservation agriculture (CA), remaining uncertainties about its impacts on quality crop yield need to be reduced through study of physiological performance. The objectives of this study were to examine the lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme activity in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality during the grain filling period. This study, carried out over two consecutive wheat growth seasons (rabi season …
