MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMANMESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

I have great pleasure to present the XIII issue of Technical

Digest which covers diverse subjects of topical relevance

from sustainable crop husbandry, diversification in

aquaculture to the burning issue of climate change. There

is an imminent need to accelerate the pace of agricultural

growth by adopting a Mission approach .

Inspired by the success of the on farm demonstration of

System of Rice Intensification (SRI), Peoples Science

Institute (PSI) - an NGO in Uttarakhand applied the same principles to wheat cultivation which resulted in

higher productivity. It is expected that advanced technologies like SRI and System of Wheat Intensification

(SWI) can help to combat the problem of food grain scarcity leading to greater food security and providing

fodder & farm yard manure.

Our country is home to a large number of pulse crops and presently grows more than a dozen of them on a

large scale under varied agro climatic conditions round the year. Pulses on account of their vital role in

nutritional security and soil ameliorative properties have been an integral part of sustainable agriculture

since ages. The future requirement of pulses is expected to rise further mainly due to the ever increasing

population and preference for pulses as the cheapest source of dietary protein. Therefore the safe storage of

pulses produced aiming at minimising losses both in terms of quantity and quality acquires paramount

importance. This issue discusses some of the cost effective indigenous technologies developed by the

Universities to store pulses, thereby reducing post harvest losses.

Being one of the most important livestock rearing countries of the world, India cannot be complacent on the

methane emissions from the ruminant digestive tracts. Viable and farmer friendly options to reduce the

methane emissions from enteric fermentation in ruminant animals and live stock manure management

practices are to be advocated as global warming is a major concern world over. The current issue also

dwells on Carbon Sequestration in the context of Global warming.

The relevant topics like Nano Biotechnology and its applications in agriculture and allied fields , Tassar silk

and the need for adequate credit flow for its sustained development and artificial recharge of ground water

through dug wells are also dealt in detail in this issue.

I am glad that this issue of Technical Digest will give the readers the necessary inputs on topics of utmost importance and our continued efforts to spread technical knowledge will bear fruit.

Wish all of you a very Happy and Prosperous 2011.

(Rakesh Singh)
