INDIA RAINS AID PLANTING

India relies on the June-September rainy season to produce food for its 1.2 billion people, as more than half the nation’s crop land isn’t irrigated. Timely rain is crucial to boosting incomes of the 742 million people living in rural areas in an economy already forecast by the central bank to expand at the slowest pace in seven years.
The monsoon weather system revived late last month after a two week lull caused by tropical cyclone Aila, which lashed the nation’s east coast on May 25.

US AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH LINES - 2009

Approaches to developing component strategies include A) incorporating legumes into organic crop rotations to maximize nitrogen fixation, B) composting that provides a productive and safe amendment for organic agriculture, and C) optimal agronomic practices for managing nutrients and production on organic farms. Approaches to determining agroecological principles include investigating the following variables within the Beltsville long-term Farming Systems Project that compares two conventional and three organic rotations, A) crop performance, B) soil nitrogen dynamics in relation to nitrogen inputs, C) soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas flux, D) soil biological community structure in relation to soil quality and production performance, and E) soil erosion and nutrient loss potential.
