This paper looks at the prioritization of agricultural value chains (VCs) for the allocation of R&D resources that maximize development outcomes (poverty, growth, jobs, and diets). Considering that growth

Studies on development and promotion of IPM technology in rainfed, Bt and non-Bt cotton varieties were carried out for four consecutive years (2001-2004) at the two locations at Nawandi and Loha, Nanded in 6th agro-ecological region of India. Sucking pests were 31.4% and 12.2% more in non-IPM than the IPM fields of Bt and non-Bt cotton, respectively.
The study deals with the compatibility of P. fluorescens in combination with soil application of carbofuran and neem seed powder against M. incognita.
Eight insecticide treatments, viz monocrotophos 36 SL, chlorpyriphos 20 EC, triazophos 40 EC, imidacloprid 200 SL, endosulfan 35 EC, Quinalphos 25 EC, methyl parathion 50 EC and cartap hydrochloride 4 G were evaluated for their efficacy against rice leaf folder Cnaphalocrocs medinalis (Guenee), yellow stem borer Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) and whitebacked planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horva
Field experiments were conducted from 2001-2004 to develop management strategies for painted bug, Bagrada hilaris (Burm.) inflicting injury to mustard (Brassica juncea) at seedling stage grown in sandy loam soil of arid Rajasthan.
This study was carried out as an on-farm research for development and validation of IPM module in participatory mode by involving scientists, pesticide industry and farmers.
This article deals with the investigations to study the comparative efficacy of certain indigenous plants oils viz, castor, eucalyptus, sunflower and neem for safe storage of pigeonpea seeds against C. chinensis under laboratory conditions.
Field experiment was conducted at the Student's Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during rabi 2005-06 to evaluate the feasibility of different weed management options in bed planted wheat.
Potassium release kinetics was investigated in soils drawn from plots of a long term fertilizer experiment that had been receiving different rates of K. Non exchangeable K release was higher in soils that were receiving organic and inorganic fertilizers than the soils not dressed with K. The amount of non exchangeable K release was faster initially and it slowed down afterwards.
