The genetic diversity of cultivated rice in farmers’ fields remains understudied West Africa despite the importance for food security this region. In study, we genotyped samples from Burkina Faso using C6AIR SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) array (IRRI), including 27 registered cultivars and 50 collected three geographical zones western Faso. Most clustered with indica group, except seven a...

The Water Accounting Plus (WA+) framework uses open access remote sensing and GIS data hydrological model output. This Budyko hypothesis thus makes use of ‘green’ water ‘blue’ accounting. We applied the WA+ to Subarnarekha basin, India, assess total consumptions land productivity (LP) (WP) for a period 12 years from 2003 2014 by using satellite sources. in basin 2013–14 (wet year) 2010–11 (dry ...

While climate change is a global phenomenon, it has significantly stifled agricultural productivity in the Global South due to changes of key atmospheric elements including extreme temperatures and unpredictable rainfall over last fifty years.

In the present context, ‘model’ is expressed as a computer program that can be repeatedly run several times for computing designed mathematical or statistical expressions (equations) governing crop growth-environment relations, given appropriate input data. The experiment station yields obtained under rainfed situation without any nutrient deficiency mostly considered potential of crops. Actual...
