This paper presents a bibliometric content analysis of the research on biostimulants to examine their roles in improving sustainability agriculture. The is developing and has been attracting significant attention. It focused understanding functional mechanisms impact various indicators sustainability. suggests that improve crop yield product quality, reduce external application fertilizers, enhance water-use efficiency, crops' capability tolerate abiotic stresses. Given growing negative...

The paper has estimated the feed consumption rates for different livestock species by age-group, sex, and function at national level, based on that generated demand types of year 2020. According to this study, 2020 India would require a total 526 million tonnes (Mt) dry matter, 855 Mt green fodder, 56 concentrate (comprising 27.4 cereals, 4.0 pulses, 20.6 oilseeds, oilcakes meals, 3.6 manufactured feed). In terms nutrients, translates into 738 379 digestible nutrients 32 crude protein....

Abstract Using a nationally representative sample of farm households from India, this paper examines the impact use information on net incomes. Employing methodologies that mitigate potential biases in estimation impact, empirical results show farmers who realize over 12% higher returns per hectare. The also establishes pecking order access to information. Small and those at bottom social hierarchy (based caste) have fewer sources, they depend more informal networks input dealers for their...

This paper has examined farm households' access to different income-generating activities, and their impact on income distribution using data from a nationally representative large-scale survey.The analysis shown that, as against the common perception of agriculture being dominant source for households, these households earn close half non-farm activities.The nonfarm is more important at lower end land distribution.The poor diversify towards low-paid, low-return activities.Small...

Indian agriculture was transforming from a cereal-based production system toward high-value crops (HVC) during the 1990s. However, food security concerns resurfaced first decade of 21st century, and policy environment tilted in favor systems, especially rice wheat. This paper revisits an earlier study to evaluate how shift influences patterns sources agricultural growth India assesses their implications for regional priorities higher, more sustainable, inclusive growth. The found that...

ABSTRACT Forecasting agricultural commodity prices has been a long‐standing challenge for researchers and policymakers. The diverse behaviors exhibited by price of different commodities, ranging from the high volatility, nonlinearity, complexity vegetables to lower volatility linear patterns cereals. This pattern necessitates use data‐driven models more precisely capture this complex behavior. study aims examine efficiency deep learning in handling various types datasets. Three models,...

This paper is an empirical analysis of the gains from contract farming in case poultry production state Andhra Pradesh India. The finds that more efficient than noncontract production. efficiency surplus largely appropriated by processor. Despite this, growers still gain appreciably contracting terms lower risk and higher expected returns. Improved technology practices as well way which processor selects are what make these outcomes possible. In observed unobserved characteristics, have...

Demand for foodgrains has been estimated India the years 2011–12, 2016–17 and 2021–22, by accounting factors like urbanization, regional variations in consumption pattern, shifts dietary pattern income distribution, limit on energy requirement changes tastes preferences of consumers food varieties. Indirect demand including ‘home away demand’ also considered working out these projections. Policy scenario presented yield targets 2021–22 have projected to meet foodgrams years.

Using district-level panel data, this paper has assessed sensitivity of Indian agriculture to climate change. Results show that a rise in temperature would reduce agricultural productivity, while rainfall unless it is excess, will tend counterbalance harmful effects temperature. Irrigation an important adaptation strategy warmer climate. Predictions suggest by end century, significant change may productivity 25 per cent. Agriculture arid and semi-arid regions more sensitive change, be...

Using data from a nationally representative farm survey in I ndia, we have analyzed ndian farmers' stated preference for farming as profession. Findings show that more than 40% of farmers dislike profession because low profits, high risk, and lack social status, yet they continue with it owing to opportunities outside agriculture. Farmers who express moving out agriculture are mostly those small landholdings, poor irrigation facilities, fewer productive assets including livestock, follow...

Introduction With increasing demand for food and changing environmental conditions, a better understanding of the factors impacting wheat yield is essential ensuring security sustainable agriculture. By analyzing effect multiple on yield, presented research provides novel insights into potential impacts climate change production in India. In present study, datasets consisting countrywide agronomic were collected. addition, study also analyzes information farmers production. Methodology The...

Over the last one decade or so agricultural sector has come under stress. Agricultural growth decelerated from 3.2 per cent during 1980/81 to 1995/96 1.9 1996/97 2005/06, leading a situation of agrarian distress in some parts country. Accelerating is thus major policy challenge. To respond this, there need understand past sources by commodity, and their relative contribution growth, inter alia. An improved understanding would provide an empirical basis guide prioritise efforts investment...

Animal energy is a renewable and sustainable source of energy. It because the animals can be reproduced by breeding rearing required number animals. derive their for work largely from agricultural by-products. In addition, there are other environmental contributions working animal stock — consider replacing it machinery run on fossilfuel. saves natural resources, fossil fuel prevents green house gases emission. The fossil-fuel equivalent used in Indian agriculture has been found pretty...
