Maize is an important crop for food and nutritional security in India. Strong market demand and resilience of maize to abiotic and biotic stresses have increased the area and production of maize in the country over the past decade. Productivity of maize, however, has not increased proportionately...

In the high-yielding wheat production systems in Northwest (NW) Indo-Gangetic Plains of India, intensive tillage operations and blanket fertilizer recommendations have led to high production costs, decreased nutrient use efficiency, lower profits and significant environmental externalities. No-ti...

Laser land leveling has been increasingly adopted in the irrigated
rice (Oryza sativa L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping
system in the state of Haryana (India), located in the
north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains. Still, many farmers have
applied it to only a fraction of their land. In this ...

Climate change creates widespread risks for food production. As climate impacts are often locally specific, it is imperative that large-scale initiatives to support smallholder farmers consider local priorities and integrate lessons from successful autonomous adaptation efforts.
