Potential of the System of Rice Intensification for systemic improvement in rice production and water use - The case of Andhra Pradesh

This paper discusses the advantages of system of rice intensification over normal paddy cultivation. The researcher compare the performance of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and normal rice fields in two mandals (subdistricts) of Mahabubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh. The yields from these two systems and agronomics are compared.Read More

The need to find less water intensive methods of agriculture become important as there is a reduction in the scope of enhancing irrigation base for increase in food production. It is in this context that this research has been carried out.

Crop Water Requirement for Krishnai Irrigation Project – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

In this report an attempt has been made to estimate the mean monthly reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) for the Krishnai Irrigation Project in Assam. To undertake this analysis, the mean monthly climatological and physiographical data for the period of 1986 to 1994 has been collected from the Meteorological Department, Borjhar, Assam.Read More

Drought studies for Kalahandi district in Orissa - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study attempts to advance the understanding of regional drought phenomenon in the Kalahandi district of Orissa and present mitigation strategies. The dry spells during the monsoon crop growing season and wide variations in the quantum of rainfall from year to year result in frequent failure of crops in Kalahandi and as a result the district is categorised as drought prone.
