Reconstructing Mustard -Maize -pulse intercropping sequences

Agricultural technology is progressing in a revolutionary fashion to meet the needs of the farming community as well as increasing population in different parts of the world.Refinement of existing technologies is the need of the hour and is a continuous process for making agriculture a profitable venture.This book primarily designed to cater the needs of postgraduate students and research scholars and professionals associated with intercropping sequences that to under rainfed / limited moisture conditions and incorporation of environment friendly crops (legumes) in the cropping systems for making them more profitable and sustainable.Entire content has divided into different sections with special reference to Indian situations of rainfed areas and could be a guide for other parts of the world.The chapters are devoted mainly in explaining the basic and practical aspects of intercropping ,rainfed agriculture ,meteorology data analysis and presentation,improving water use efficiency,nutrient dynamics and many more aspects of research.The author believe that this book will certainly help the students ,researchers who intend to initiate work on intercropping sequences.
