Genotype by Environment Interaction
Author: Manjit S. Kang
Publisher: CRC-Press
ISBN: 9780849340031
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Genotype-by-Environment Interaction (GEI) is a prevalent issue among crop farmers, plant breeders, geneticists, and production agronomists. This book brings together contributions from expert plant breeders and quantitative geneticists to better understand the relationship between crop performance and environment. This information can reduce the cost of extensive genotype evaluation by eliminating unnecessary testing sites and by fine-tuning breeding programs. Molecular aspects of GEI are discussed for the first time and key bibliographical references on GEI are included in an appendix.

ISBN:
Category : Raised field agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
"Permanent raised bed cropping systems are being adopted under a wide range of irrigated and dryland farming conditions. ACIAR has supported research into permanent raised bed systems in Asia and Australia. Results from these projects and other research were presented at a workshop in 2005. The papers in this proceedings bring together the work that was presented at the workshop and provide a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners of permanent raised bed cropping systems"--Summary Web page.

Guidance on realizing real water savings with crop water productivity interventions
Author: Van Opstal, J., Droogers, P., Kaune, A., Steduto, P., Perry, C.
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251341362
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
This technical document contains clear and practical guidelines on how to implement real water savings in agriculture through interventions for enhancing crop water productivity. A distinction is made between real water savings and “apparent” water savings. Apparent water savings record reductions in water withdrawals but do not account for changes in water consumption. Real water savings record reductions in water consumption and non-recoverable return flows (runoff or percolation). This guidance document emphasizes the paradox of water savings at field and basin scales, which usually do not translate into increased water availability for other users, as is commonly believed.

Fragile Lives in Fragile Ecosystems
Author: International Rice Research Institute
Publisher: Int. Rice Res. Inst.
ISBN: 9712200736
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 991
Book Description
Fragile lives in fragile ecosystems: Feeding the world's poor from neglected rice ecosystems was the theme of the 1995 International Rice Research Conference. During the February meeting, participants assessed progress in rice research and identified new research approaches for reducing constraints and improving productivity and sustainability of less favored and fragile rice producing areas - these are the upland, rainfed lowland, and flood-prone ecosystems.

Staying Alive
Author: Vandana Shiva
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1623170516
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Inspired by women’s struggles for the protection of nature as a condition for human survival, award-winning environmentalist Vandana Shiva shows how ecological destruction and the marginalization of women are not inevitable, economically or scientifically. She argues that “maldevelopment”—the violation of the integrity of organic, interconnected, and interdependent systems that sets in motion a process of exploitation, inequality, and injustice—is dragging the world down a path of self-destruction, threatening survival itself. Shiva articulates how rural Indian women experience and perceive ecological destruction and its causes, and how they have conceived and initiated processes to arrest the destruction of nature and begin its regeneration. Focusing on science and development as patriarchal projects, Staying Alive is a powerfully relevant book that positions women not solely as survivors of the crisis, but as the source of crucial insights and visions to guide our struggle.
