Climate Resilient Technologies for Rainfed Agriculture
authored by: Ashok Dalwai, A.K. Vyas, D.N. Gokhale & G.U.Shinde
Climate Resilient Agriculture and Sustainable Farming Technologies focuses on innovative and sustainable approaches to address the challenges posed by climate change in agriculture. The book highlights monsoon variability, drought management, nano-herbicides, biofertilizers, integrated farming systems, rainwater conservation, conservation agriculture, and efficient irrigation practices. It also discusses contingency crop planning and climate-resilient agrotechniques for improving productivity in rainfed areas. Special emphasis is given to the Maha PoCRA initiative for enhancing resilience among farmers.
This book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, extension workers, and policymakers seeking practical and scientific solutions for sustainable agricultural development and climate-resilient farming.
