Description |
This Annual Report vividly illustrates the multi-scale approach in the area of soil health & input use efficiency; conservation agriculture & carbon sequestration; soil microbial diversity & genomics; soil pollution, remediation & environmental security. It also describes the work done on integrated nutrient management, balanced fertilization, nutrient enriched compost and manure preparation, farmers' participatory research and demonstration of the technologies at farmers' fields under the aegis of various AICRP centers across the length and breadth of the country.
Soil, the thin outermost layer of our earth is a scarce natural resource which sustains the vast diversity of terrestrial ecosystem of the globe. The ecology of the soil beneath is truly fascinating and interesting to our understanding in many aspects. In India, the food production and the associated agricultural enterprises have to be carried out in the 141±1 million hectare of finite agricultural land which is diminishing at faster rate owing to land degradation and various anthropogenic activities. Soil degradation is devastating crop yields and contributing to malnourishment in many corners of the globe particularly in India. Hence, the improvement and maintenance of the health of the soils is indispensable for sustaining agricultural productivity. This warrants regular monitoring of our soil resources and providing suitable technological interventions for enhancing soil health. This Annual Report vividly illustrates the multi-scale approach in the area of soil health & input use efficiency; conservation agriculture & carbon sequestration; soil microbial diversity & genomics; soil pollution, remediation & environmental security. It also describes the work done on integrated nutrient management, balanced fertilization, nutrient enriched compost and manure preparation, farmers' participatory research and demonstration of the technologies at farmers' fields under the aegis of various AICRP centers across the length and breadth of the country.
