Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad (ICAR). pp 102.

Soil carbon sequestration for better soil health and crop productivity and to mitigate

the GHG’s, the soil carbon sequestration potential of different soil and crop

17

management practices of rainfed regions were assessed. Accordingly the data from

long term experiments of the All India Coordinated Project on Dryland Agriculture

(AICRPDA) has been analyzed both for organic and inorganic carbon stocks and the

factors influencing (mainly rainfall, soil type and production system) and their role in

sequestration potential under groundnut, fingermillet, pearl millet, groundnut-

fingermillet, fingermillet-fingermillet, sorghum, soybean, rice based production

systems in different AICRPDA centres. This book summarized the soil carbon

sequestration potential of 6 major rainfed production systems (rainfed rice, rabi

sorghum, soybean, pearl millet, finger millet and groundnut) in different soil types

under diverse agro-ecological regions with variable nutrient management options. Soil

carbon stocks, carbon pools and carbon sequestration rate in six long term manorial

experiments were presented and their relationship with sustainability of production

systems was established. Various carbon positive management options were identified

in recommendations made for their field level implementation.

Backward and Tribal Districts of Andhra Pradesh. Central Research Institute

for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. pp. 119.

Out of estimated 141 m ha net cultivated area in India, 80 m ha is rainfed which

produces about 40 % food grains in the country. These areas are characterized by low

and erratic rainfall distribution, high temperature, degraded soils with low available

water content leading to multi- nutrient deficiencies. The book covers on how soil

health improvement impacted on crop yields, crop quality, farm inocome and

livelihoods of about 60 villages in the eight backward and tribal districts of Andhra

Pradesh. Improvement in soil health through good agricultural practices, better natural

resource management and addressing issues like profitability and sustainability

through better institutions and support systems was illustrated. Soil health

management by Soil Health Cards to 2200 farmers fields, SSNM and INM through

participatory action research mode in 50 villages of 8 districts (Adilabad, Nalgonda,

18

Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Anantapur, Kadapa, Warangal and Ranga Reddy) will be

used for researchers, extension agencies and government departments.

Crop Response to Potassium on the soils of Agro-ecological Regions of India.

International Potash Institute, Horgen, Switzerland, pp 185.

Soil fertility and its evaluation is one of the major area which needs urgent attention as

deficiency of major and minor plant nutrients emerging in time and space. Potassium

is of greater significance among essential nutrients for improving the crop yield and

quality since it is required in larger quantities by the crop plants. There is a urgent

need of delineating the potassium deficient areas and expected responses in terms of

quality and quantity in different agro-ecological regions of the country, as the

projected requirement of K around 8.1 million tones/ annum in year 2020. Present

book covers the frontier concepts in K fertility assessment and refinement of K

fertilizer recommendations based on new concepts of non-exchangeable K sources of

soils and established relationship with crop response to K application and identified K

efficient regions of India where K application is essential.

Natural resources like land, water and biodiversity are the key to sustain agricultural

productivity. The book covers the status of natural resources and its efficient

management, its role in food production and meeting other needs like fodder, fuel

wood, fibre, etc. Mainly the strategies for efficient management of soil fertility,

conservation of soil and water, coping with climate on-farm water management in

irrigated and rainfed production systems are covered in detail. Especially, the chapter

on integrated farming systems links the scientific utilization of natural resources to

total farm productivity. Wholly, it’s with complete coverage latest developments and

information from leading ICAR research institutes and State Agricultural Universities

of the country.

This book addresses the various weather aberrations in India and different

mechanisms to make Indian agriculture more climate resilient. Process documentation

of district level agriculture contingency plan was illustrated. Coping strategies for

droughts (late onset, midseason droughts, terminal droughts), floods, cyclone,

hailstorm, heat wave, cold wave, sea water inundation was explained for field crops,

horticulture, vegetables, livestock, poultry and fisheries with complete background of

district information. Information given in the book helps the district authorities and

line departments for implementing various contingency plans for coping abnormal

weather conditions with the district.

Most of the agro-ecological regions of India are showing low soil organic carbon

status with continuous cropping with unsustainable crop management practices such

as low biomass recycling, excessive tillage and burning crop residues. Twenty four

chapters dealing with various issues of soil carbon sequestration included in this book

addressing carbon estimation, soil carbon stocks under irrigated and rainfed eco-

regions, carbon sequestration rates with different management options, GIS based

carbon mapping, soil quality indicators, GHG emissions in relation carbon

sequestration, conservation agriculture, role of agro forestry, biochar etc. At the end

farmers experiences on soil health aspects were also included.
