Sustainable development can be possible in rainfed agriculture by integrated approach of soil management measures. Soil quality the form a quantitative index is used as an indicator environmental and sustainability. Twelve farms selected to achieve targets present investigation (six under traditional system six with supplemental irrigation) at Northwestern Coastal Zone (NWCZ). These varied land...

This report was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Summary Exposure to a high degree of climate risk is a characteristic feature of rainfed agriculture in the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia. A growing body of evidence l...

Background: Intercropping is an important aspect than sole cropping to address the issues of rainfed agriculture as well organic under changing climate scenarios and it also helps in maximization productivity profitability by efficient utilization natural resources like light, land water. Moreover, intercropping improves soil fertility through atmospheric nitrogen fixation with inclusion legume...

The Ivorian coast is the main coconut production area where agriculture mainly rainfed. However, in this area, climate variability poses a great threat to growth and sustainable development of agriculture. This study aimed at highlighting impacts on most popular Dwarf x Tall palm hybrids world. It based evaluation from statistical tests (ANOVA, STUDENT's T-test 5%) results standardized precipit...

The main objective of this study is to present an improved modeling technique called Vegetation ET (VegET) that integrates commonly used water balance algorithms with remotely sensed Land Surface Phenology (LSP) parameter to conduct operational vegetation water balance modeling of rainfed systems at the LSP’s spatial scale using readily available global data sets. Evaluation of the VegET model ...

The reported study was undertaken to determine which soil health indicators showed measurable signs of improvement, during the first year process introducing a Conservation Agriculture (CA) cropping system in rainfed areas Madhya Pradesh, India. Soil aggregate stability, soil-atmosphere CO2 fluxes, water infiltration, moisture, potentially mineralisable nitrogen, organic content and bulk densit...
