Fertilizers up 15%, farm worry for govt
New Delhi: Just when UPA is grappling with food inflation, Union minister M K Alagiri has sounded alarm over shooting fertilizer prices under the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS), saying the policy introduced in the last budget was hurting the poor farmer. Ten months after the Centre freed fertilizer price and linked subsidy to constituents of phosphatic and potassic fertilizers, Alagiri has wr

Could new GM crops please the greens?
Farming contributes more to global warming than all the world's cars, trains, ships and planes put together. And the single biggest problem with farming is not carbon but nitrogen. From the maize fields of Kansas to the emerald rice paddies of China, today's bountiful harvests depend on generous applications of nitrogen fertiliser. Although only a tiny proportion escapes into the atmosphere as nitrous oxide, it is an extremely potent greenhouse gas. It's a vexing problem, but Eric Rey believes he has some of the answers, in the form of crops genetically modified to require less fertiliser.

Learning from farmers - Traditional rice production technology
In recent decades, the introduction of fertilizer and irrigation responsive high yielding dwarf varieties of rice have resulted in more widespread and intensive use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides. The indiscriminate use of such chemical agents led to a wide array of problems and has forced mankind to consider safer ways of crop production and protection. Many such approaches are, in fact, practices that our ancestors had employed for centuries.

Effect of vermicompost, farm yard manure, biofertilizer (N, P, K) on growth, yield and quality of Abelmoschus Esculentus
With the aim to study the comparative effects of vermicompost, farm yard manure, biofertilizer and chemical fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of food product, the most common vegetable crop - Lady's Finger was selected and the impact of these four supplements on shoot length, fruits, plant and protein content of the fruit was studied by growing this crop in the botanical garden of S.B., P.G. College, Baragaon Campus, in the year 2005 and 2006.

The genetic improvement of forage grasses and legumes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
This paper focuses on the following areas: reducing methane emissions from ruminant animals (cattle, sheep) by modification of plant composition; reducing nitrous oxide emissions by making the use of nitrogen more efficient both in terms of going from soil to plant and in the animal; plant breeding may also enhance carbon sequestration in grasslands by focusing both on below ground traits of importance and on the composition of material returned to the soil as litter; and the processes involved in fertiliser production, particularly nitrogen fertilisers, result in considerable greenhouse gas
