Fragile lives in fragile ecosystems: Feeding the world's poor from neglected rice ecosystems was the theme of the 1995 International Rice Research Conference. During the February meeting, participants assessed progress in rice research and identified new research approaches for reducing constraints and improving productivity and sustainability of less favored and fragile rice producing areas - these are the upland, rainfed lowland, and flood-prone ecosystems.

Flood and water logging land situations are the natural features of Eastern India. These situations start from the foot hills of the Himalayas in Nepal and extended up to Bangla Desh covering the entire stretch of eastern India. The flood-prone basins of eastern India have their own traditional farming systems. Traditional technologies give low but stable yield. Improved technologies generated at experimental stations have not been able to outperform farmers traditional technologies. Efficacy of alternate technology development and dissemination process was explored through the Ford Foundation supported Farming Systems Research (FSR) programme in eastern India. The book deals with the approaches and experiences gained during implementing the FSR programme in a Gandak basin of Vaishali district in Bihar.The book highlights the role of people for developing local resource based technologies. While developing such technologies environment, ecology and social aspects were taken into account. This experience of the authors is being documented so that development workers working under similar situations can develop participatory technologies apart from directly using already developed appropriate technologies mentioned in this book. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: The Project Area; Chapter 3: Socio-Economic Profile; Chapter 4: Participatory Technology Development Process; Chapter 5: Outstanding Issues; Chapter 6: Impact Assessment; Chapter 7: Future Prospects.

Response of Field Crops to Abiotic Stress: Current Status and Future Prospects is a collection of useful scientific resources for students, researchers, and academicians on diverse aspects of abiotic stress responses in field crops. The book provides its readers with a vivid understanding of abiotic stress responses in field crops by covering diverse aspects. It offers exhaustive explanations of the impact and responses of field crops to abiotic stresses. This book offers comprehensive coverage of: Climate change impact on field crops Arsenic and aluminium stress responses in field crops Drought, high temperature, and flooding stress responses in field crops Salinity and osmotic stress responses in field crops Heavy metal stress responses in field crops UV stress responses Elemental biofortification Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism Nutraceutical and human health Computational modelling approaches for abiotic stresses in plants

This new edition provides an update on the considerable amount of evidence on tree-crop interactions which has accumulated during the last two decades, especially on the more complex multi-strata agroforestry systems, which are typical of the humid tropics. In addition three new chapters have been added to describe the new advances in the relationship between climate change adaptation, rural development and how trees and agroforestry will contribute to a likely reduction in vulnerability to climate change in developing countries

Se ha avanzado considerablemente en el desarrollo de nuevas variedades de arroz de la India oriental, aunque la literatura sobre este tema es limitada. La evidencia de esto es el desarrollo y la liberación de muchas nuevas variedades mejoradas. Al menos 20 de estas variedades han sido liberados en la India de tierras bajas de secano traslado Network Cría Oriental (EIRLSBN). Además de producir nuevas variedades, esta red ha llevado a cabo una importante investigación sobre muchas características de alta prioridad y ha identificado los nuevos padres donantes, grupos de madurez clave para la región, las líneas de élite que se pueden trasplantar en tiempos normales o retardada, y perfiles de variedades de destino para este de la India. Más importante aún, la red ha sido un modelo ejemplar para las alianzas sinérgicas de mejoramiento del arroz. Demuestra los beneficios de la colaboración científica regional e internacional para trabajar para superar la inseguridad alimentaria. En efecto, ha influido en la formación y la estructura de muchas otras redes de cría.
