Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are the most widely distributed algal organisms especially in tropical countries. They are ubiquitous and cosmopolitan found in eutrophic (organically rich) benthos of lakes, ponds, tanks etc. the BGA are the only organisms that grow in adverse and harsh environmental conditions. The global natural resources and energy crisis have widened the gap between demand and supply of nitrogen fertilizer. These blue-green algae plays a significant role in filling this gap. Cyanobacterial biofertilizer giving high yield varieties has further increased the demand of important crops. DOMINANT BGA IN RICE FIELD:   Rice cultivation is an age-old practice in our country. The average production is only about 1.7 t/ha because more than 85% of total area of rice is owned by small and marginal farmers. These farmers cannot afford to use various inputs needed to harvest maximum yield of rice. In this context, the nitrogen fixing blue-green algae deserve special...

Resource Map is a free, open-source tool that helps you make better decisions by giving a better insight into the location and distribution of your resources . With Resource Map , our team can collaboratively record, track, and analyse resources at a glance using a live map In PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) Resource Map is a very effective tool to know about the resource of the place, and it is also a good method to involve all person at the same time as because of its large size. Everyone can contribute their ideas and knowledge about the place in Resource mapping. It is also a good tool to attract people’s mind into PRA as because we use various colour and different materials as needed it is quite interesting than other tools of PRA. In our Resource Map at Anjan gram of Gumla Dist. of Jharkhand we use different materials like tiles, green grasses, coloured powder, sketch pens, sand, stone of different size, chart paper, etc. Our team is divided into groups, the mass ...

Mixed leaves extract: Meterials:3kg of neem leaves,2kg of custard apple leaves,2kg of papaya leaves,2 kg of pomegranate leaves,2kg guava leaves, and 10liters cow urine. Procedure method: 1st we collect the 5 leaves and cow urine. Then crush the above all recommended leaves. Then boil the cow urine or water and all leaves. Boil the mixture after some intervals of time till the mixture becomes half of the starting time. Then keep the mixture for 24 hours, filter the extract. This mixture store in a bottle. It can be stored up to 6 months. Application: Prepared extract apply on the field on evening or early morning. This preparation diluted 3 liters in 50 liters of water. It solution spray on the sprayer in one acre area. Effects: it is resistive for nature against the insects, est and disease. It is help for the plant to protect the insect and pest, and to increase the vegetative growth and plant shelf life. Advantage: It is fully natural and low cost. It is available for a vil...

This Information and Communication Technology (ICT) works as a catalyst in development for its tremendous potential to increase efficiency, productivity, and service quality in agriculture and allied sectors. A village development plan is a written document. It identifies issues of concern to that village. Opportunities, strengths, threats and weaknesses of a village are defined. It also provides practical actions that will result in an improved condition of the village. It provides opportunities for resource mobilization, a vision of what you would like your village to look like, sets out clear goals to achieve that vision, and gives you an action plan to reach out those goals. For preparing of village development plan, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) exercises, Gram-Sava Meetings etc. have been organized. In this way, lots of information have been gathered for each and every villages. It’s very difficult to work on village development for the govern...

The basic principles of growth and development are the same the world over. Though we behave in a generally homogeneous manner, yet we are vastly different from economically developing countries of Africa and Asia, and from the affluent West. In a broad sense, development is defined as the overall well-being of the entire population. Thus, any agenda on development goes beyond the income of the individual or of the groups of individuals or of the society, and encompasses healthy living, equity, empowerment, participation, security, and social cohesion. Thus, the goal of the nation for development is therefore to increase economic growth and social justice, improve human resources, empower the poor, and create employment opportunity for them and consequently to reduce poverty. Thus, a nation thrives and develops if it simultaneously encompasses all these for the betterment of its people. In India, there is low level of income and high incidence of poverty, which has impacted...

The past 20 years have seen revolutionary biotech innovations that have helped farmers improve their harvests, farm more sustainably and feed the world a more nutritious and safe diet. Here’s a glimpse of five important breakthroughs that have revolutionized agriculture: 1. DROUGHT TOLERANCE Drought is a huge threat to agricultural productivity always. With rising temperatures and limited and uncertain rainfall, many farmers can see their crops dry up. The problem is getting worse as climate change threatens to lengthen and intensify droughts. Fortunately, biotechnology can help farmers to survive. In 2013, farmers successfully planted the first ever biotech drought-tolerant maize in the corn-belt-a region of the Midwestern united states known for drought. Plant scientists are now working to make this technology available to farmers around the world. In Africa, where ever 300 million people rely on maize as a staple food, the water efficient maize for Africa public/private projec...
