Vision-2025 of IARI

Agriculture in India is the means of livelihood of almost two thirds of the workforce in the
country. It employs nearly 62% of the country’s total population and occupies 42% of its total
geographical area. From a nation dependent on food imports to feed its population, India today is
not only self-sufficient in grain production, but also has a substantial reserve. The progress made by
agriculture in the last four decades has been one of the biggest success stories of free India. Agriculture
and allied activities constitute one of the main contributors to the Gross Domestic Product of the
nation. The increase in agricultural production has been brought about by bringing additional area
under cultivation, extension of irrigation facilities, the use of seed of improved high yielding varieties,
better production technologies evolved through agricultural research, water management, and plant
protection through judicious use of fertilizers, pesticides and cropping practices.

Impotence of Crop Rotation

Crop Rotation By : Ron Heiniger, Crop Science Extension Specialist, NC State University and Molly Hamilton, Extension Assistant, NC State University The importance of crop rotation in an organic production systems cannot be overemphasized. Select a rotation sequence of production crops and cover crops based on the specific characteristics of the field. This is particularly important in the first few years of an organic production system because the transition period will set the conditions for success. Rotation sequences should be designed to: reduce weed pressure by minimizing the amount of weed seed produced and reducing perennial weeds; increase the amount of mineralizable nitrogen in the soil; reduce the incidence of insect and disease pests by eliminating hosts and interrupting pest life cycles. This usually requires combinations or rotations of crops that attract or harbor different insects and diseases, fix nitrogen, inhibit weed growth, and enhance the soil. The fo...
