New India Publishing Agency Agroforestry: Systems and Practices
Book SynopsisAgroforestry is a practice that has been around for a long time all over the world, but it was only recognized as a science about three decades ago. The scientific study of tree-crop interactions in India began in the late 1970s and gained significant momentum with the establishment of the All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Agroforestry in 1983 by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). Today, the AICRP on Agroforestry has a network throughout the country. Through the efforts of the State Agricultural Universities and the AICRP, location-specific agroforestry systems have been recommended to suit the agro-climatic zones, landholdings, and economic status of each region. Although extensive research has been conducted, it is not readily available to the scientific community, farming communities (who are the backbone of Indian rural development), students, and inquisitive readers in one comprehensive manuscript. To address this, the authors have compiled information on agroforestry systems and practices prevalent in India into a book. To facilitate better understanding, the agroforestry systems in India have been divided into four broad sections: i) Agroforestry in India, ii) Agroforestry systems and practices in North, West, and Central India, iii) Agroforestry systems and practices in East, North-East, and Southern India, and iv) Allied topics related to Agroforestry. Section one covers agroforestry-related experiences, research, and extension efforts made in the last 25 years in India. Section two comprises 13 chapters, while section three covers 14 chapters, discussing agroforestry research in relation to the agroclimatic zones of various states in India. The last section, consisting of eight chapters, includes topics related to the role of agroforestry in soil conservation, womens development, agroforestry management, modeling, rehabilitation of mine spoils, and breeding of agroforestry tree species.

New India Publishing Agency Agroforestry Systems for Resource Conservation
Book SynopsisShivalik ranges span approximately 2.14 million hectares across Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana in northwest India. The excessive exploitation of resources in the region has led to soil erosion, resulting in the rise of riverbeds, siltation of tanks, reservoirs, and other natural water bodies. Soil erosion exceeding 80 t ha-1 yr-1 has been documented in denuded hills at certain locations. Approximately 70% of the population in the region relies on agriculture, but only 18% of the cultivated area is irrigated. Agroforestry, which involves integrating trees and crops, has been recommended globally to mitigate soil erosion and achieve production goals simultaneously. Adopting scientifically proven agroforestry systems in the Shivaliks could reverse the degradation and enhance the economic status of the regions farmers. To date, extensive research has been conducted on the role of agroforestry in resource conservation and livelihood security in the region. This book aims to compile the existing knowledge on the subject, with 20 chapters covering various topics related to agroforestry systems and their impact on soil and water conservation, livelihood security, slope protection through mechanical and vegetative measures, fertility build-up, mine spoil rehabilitation, bamboos, climate change, and carbon sequestration.

Springer Protocols for Micropropagation of Woody Trees and Fruits
Book SynopsisMicropropagation has become a reliable and routine approach for large-scale rapid plant multiplication, which is based on plant cell, tissue and organ culture on well defined tissue culture media under aseptic conditions. A lot of research efforts are being made to develop and refine micropropagation methods and culture media for large-scale plant multiplication of several number of plant species. However, many forest and fruit tree species still remain recalcitrant to in vitro culture and require highly specific culture conditions for plant growth and development. The recent challenges on plant cell cycle regulation and the presented potential molecular mechanisms of recalcitrance are providing excellent background for understanding on totipotency and what is more development of micropropagation protocols. For large-scale in vitro plant production the important attributes are the quality, cost effectiveness, maintenance of genetic fidelity, and long-term storage. The need for appropriate in vitro plant regeneration methods for woody plants, including both forest and fruit trees, is still overwhelming in order to overcome problems facing micropropagation such as somaclonal variation, recalcitrant rooting, hyperhydricity, polyphenols, loss of material during hardening and quality of plant material. Moreover, micropropagation may be utilized, in basic research, in production of virus-free planting material, cryopreservation of endangered and elite woody species, applications in tree breeding and reforestation.

New India Publishing Agency Ethnomedicinal Plants Resource of Orissa Vol 01
Book SynopsisTraditional medicine and ethnobotanical research, particularly when the literature and field work data have been properly evaluated. India is one of the twelve mega biodiversity countries of the world having rich in vegetables with a wide variety of plants with medicinal value. In many countries, scientific investigations of medicinal plants have been initiated because of their contribution to healthcare. Herbal medicines have good values in treating many diseases including infectious diseases, hypertension, etc. That they can save lives of many particularly in the developing countries is undisputable. Even today many local and indigenous communities in the Asian countries meet their basic needs from the products they manufacture and sell based on their traditional knowledge. Herbal drugs obtained from plants are believed to be much safer, this has been proved in the treatment of various ailments. Rural communities, in particular scheduled caste tribes, depend on plant resources mainly herbal medicines, food, forage, construction of dwellings, making household implements, sleeping mats, and for fire and shade. Rural people not only depend on wild plants as sources of food, medicine, fodder and fuel, but have also developed methods of resource management, which may be fundamental to the conservation of some of the world's important habitats. The objective of this book is to popularize the ethno medicinal plants species used by the tribals in Kalahandi district of Orissa and the traditional medical practices of the local tribes. Such attempt will protect the traditional knowledge practices of indigenous peoples from disappearing of knowledge and helps in conservation of biological resources for sustainable use. jacketTable of Contents01.

New India Publishing Agency Nutritional Disorders in Fruit Crops: Diagnosis
Book SynopsisDiagnosis involves careful observation of crop with a thorough knowledge of crop behaviour as well as a complete understanding of functions of nutrients and their deficiency symptoms. Diagnostic techniques vary from crop to crop depending upon the field condition in which the deficiency occurs. Indian agriculture has entered into an era of multiple nutrient deficiencies. Realizing the gravity of emerging problem of nutrient deficiencies and to fulfill an immediate need to tackle them more efficiently, a guide on diagnosis of nutritional disorders and their corrections in crop plants has been prepared. All the new diagnostic techniques have been discussed in a simple language. The book has been designed in such a way as to improve the knowledge on diagnosis of deficiencies of mineral elements essential for normal plant growth, and of the methods by which such deficiencies may most effectively be remedied. The main feature of this book is the detailed description of the various visual deficiency symptoms exhibited by the fruit crops. The book has been written primarily for the use of the students of Horticulture and Agriculture to help update their knowledge on nutritional and physiological disorders of fruit crops. It is also felt that the book will provide a suitable basis for those engaged in the profession of agriculture like extension workers and progressive farmers.
