Also, the qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product should be essentially due to the 1Dept. of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bidhan Chandra Krishi place of origin. Since the quality of products depends on the Viswavidyalaya, Mohapur West Bengal (741 252), India geographical place of production, there is a clear association 2Dept. of Plant Pathology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi between the product and its original place of production.

The present report of Rapid Impact Assessment of flood/ landslides on Biodiversity focus on community perspectives of the affect on Biodiversity and Ecosystems. It is for the first time in India that such an assessment of impact of natural disasters on Biodiversity was conducted at LSG level and it is a collaborative effort of BMC and Kerala State Biodiversity Board (KSBB). More importantly each of the 187 BMCs who were involved had also outlined the major causes for such an impact as perceived by them and suggested strategies for biodiversity conservation at local level. Being a study conducted by local community all efforts has been made to incorporate practical approaches for prioritizing areas for biodiversity conservation which can be implemented at local level.

  • A Study on Problems Faced by Paddy Cultivators in Salem District
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 03, MARCH 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 A Study On Problems Faced By Paddy Cultivators In Salem District Dr.M.Suguna, M.Jayanthi Abstract— Agriculture sector plays a vital role in Indian economy and it is the back bone of our country. India is endowed with land and water resources with conductive agro-climatic advantages for cultivation of paddy. Paddy is mainly grown in rain fed areas which receives heavy annual rainfall; it is primarily a kharif crop in India. Paddy is the important food crop in India; importance of paddy in agricultural crops cannot be ignored as it is the staple food for more than fifty percentage of population in the world. This study examines to identify the factors influencing paddy cultivation, to determine cultivating problems and marketing problems of paddy in the district of Salem in Tamil Nadu. Pre-scheduled interview questionnaire is prepared and circulated among the 84 respondents using convenient sampling. The results were obtained by application of statistical tools like percentage analysis and one sample t-test. Keywords—Agricultural sector, Cultivation problems, Indian economy, Marketing problems, Paddy production. ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Thalaivasal and Attur are the major concentration of paddy The Agricultural sector in India still contributes to the overall and high paddy concentrations of paddy and high paddy Attur, growth of the economy and provides livelihood and food Thalaivasal and Sankagiri.

  • Collection of Scented Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Cultivars from Maharashtra and Parts of Karnataka
    Chapter 2 Collection of scented rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars from Maharashtra and parts of Karnataka Collection of rice cultivars 2.1 Introduction Ancient India is one of the oldest regions where cultivation of O. sativa L. began. The foothill of Himalayas is the centre of diversity of scented rice of Group V, from here by westward route scented rice cultivars distributed in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat (Glaszmann 1987). In these states numerous scented varieties belonging to this group are grown under different names (Khush 2000). It is estimated that India has over 70,000 cultivars of rice germplasm and with a sizable number of wild forms still to be collected and conserved (Siddiq 1992). Since the time of civilization, thousands of locally adapted scented rice genotypes have evolved as a consequence of natural and human selection. These landraces are the genetic reservoirs of useful genes. The collection and evaluation of landraces is a part of fundamental work of rice geneticist for breeding purposes. Considering the need for broadening gene-pool of rice, it is necessary to collect and conserve the cultivars that are locally cultivated and maintained by farmers. In view of collecting the germplasm, a special drive was undertaken for upland paddy varieties cultivated in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and 5 other states resulted in collection of 1,938 cultivars. National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi, India further augmented the collections during 1983-89 by about 4,862 cultivars. Parts of Maharashtra were also explored during joint explorations led by Kihara in the early 1960s and Watabe in the late 1960s and early 1970s (Singh et al.
