Agricultural Technology Application For Enhancing Productivity

Agricultural Technology Generation And Its Application Are Integral Aspects Of Farm Sector Development. Agricultural Universities And Research Institutes Have Developed Lots Of Technologies However Its Uptake And Application In The Field Has Been Poor. Only A Fraction Of The Technologies And Know-Hows Are Adopted By The Farming Community, Indicating A Huge Research Extension Gap. As A Frontline Extension Mechanism, The KVK Needs Strong Technical Backup By Saus And ICAR Research Institutes. A Vibrant Research-Extension Linkage Would Facilitate Problem focused Research And Would Therefore Accelerate Pace Of Farm Sector Development. The Present Volume Is A Compilation Of Transferrable Technologies And Recent Development In Various Domains Of Agriculture. It Has Six Sections - Natural Resource Management; Horticulture; Farming System; Post Harvest And Value Addition; Animal Husbandry And Fisheries And Social Sciences. Emerging Issues Like Climate Change; Precision Farming; Post- Harvest Technologies; Drudgery Reduction; Research In Agricultural Extension Are Included In This Volume. It Would Be Useful For The Scientists Of KVK As Well As Extension Workers Of Line Departments.
