Low and variable yields of wheat in the rice--wheat cropping systems of lower Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) of South Asia, covering Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP) in India and the Terai region of Nepal, are a matter of significant concern for

This study1 examined current constraints to increased private sector investment in the seed and agricultural biotechnology (agbiotech) sectors in India, particularly in relation to rice, wheat and maize improvement.

Numerous studies have shown that the liberalization of seed market policies and stronger legal protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) can stimulate private investment in agriculture, especially crop genetic improvement.

The study relates village seed systems to biological diversity of millet crops grown by farmers in the semi-arid lands of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, India.

Changes in India’s seed regulations during the 1990s favored the growth of privately- as compared to publicly-funded sectors.

In the subsistence-oriented, semi-arid production systems of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, India, the environment is marginal for crop growth and often there is no substitute for millet crops.

"The purpose of the research paper is to characterize biological diversity related to millets in the semi-arid regions of India at various spatial scales of analysis (e.g., farm household versus community levels) and place that evidence in a broad

"This study examines the impact of alternative price stabilization policies for edible oils and oilseeds in India on the farmers growing oilseeds, the consumers of edible oils and the processing sector with the help of a multi market equilibr
