Changing Climate and Traditional Crops
Changing climate has impacted several traditional crops in India which have ecological, nutritional and economic benefits. There is an urgent need for technological and financial initiatives to preven...
Pre-treatment for improved seed germination
Pre-treatment of seeds through various methods enables rapid and uniform germination. In short, it accelerates the natural processes and releases the dormant life force within.
Climate Change and Wheat
Over the last two decades, there is a decline in the average yield in wheat production. A close examination of the weather data indicates that this decline may be related to climate change.
Agricultural Biotechnologies
Application of biotechnology in agriculture and husbandry might be the next step to food security in India. Proper infrastructure, technology and market systems are crucial to materialise.
