In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Silvipasture 2. Silvipasture in Arid Region 3. Scope of Silvipasture in Arid Zone 4. Classification of Silvipasture. Introduction to Silvipasture: Silvipasture in arid region is a strategy for farm diversification and insurance against fodder scarcity, drought and desertification. The diversity in the silvipasture system involving combination of various trees, grasses [...]
Silvipasture systems create land-use systems that are structurally and functionally more complex with greater efficiencies of resource capture and utilization (nutrients, light, and water) than traditional land management. The greater structural diversity includes nutrient cycling, soil conservation, carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, and enhancement of water quality. Soil quality under silvipasture systems is more similar to that under natural forest than [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) 2. Steps for Implementing Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI). Meaning of Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI): Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is an optimising strategy under which crops are allowed to sustain some degree of water deficit and yield reduction. During regulated deficit irrigation, the crop is exposed to [...]
