These gases are generally long enough lived in the atmosphere very widely dispersed in the environment and warm up climate globally. The increase in food production may also increase the Green House Gas Emission. Therefore before an alarming situation arise the techniques for the reduction in the emission of Green House Gases from agriculture sector without reducing its production potential should be developed. In this context the present book is an effort to understand the current status of Green House Gases in the atmosphere. This book primarily deals about Green House Gas Emission from agricultural sectors like horticulture vegetables forests fisheries livestock etc. with their biochemistry and microbiology in spite of their meteorological relationship. Subsequently it also deals with the appropriate methods to mitigate their ill effects. Further the analytical methods for collection and analysis of these gases has also been discussed. The chapters in this book have been contributed by eminent researchers and scientists engaged in basic and applied research of their specialized fields. Therefore importance of this book has been increased for the scientists researchers teachers extension workers students and farmers. 128 pp.

Government of India launched a watershed development programme during the year 1983 84 with an objective to develop natural resources viz. land water vegetation and productivity of crops in addition to improvement of standard of living of the people. Based on the experience gained during 1983 90 the Watershed Development Programme has been expanded further to cover larger areas. Government of India through its Ministries of Agriculture Rural Development forestry managed the Watershed Development Programme in India. Further it was allotted even to non governmental organizations under the policy of government and private partnership so as to execute the works more effectively. However NGOs concentrated on water resource development so as to improve the irrigated area for improving the livelihood security of rural people on watershed basis unlike government departments which concentrated on overall development of natural resources and agriculture production. There are number of books covering watershed development programmes written by many authors. Hence an attempt is made to cover all aspects of watershed so as to observe and judge the effectiveness and efficiency of the watersheds based on the development of natural resources agriculture and socio economic conditions. Thus many points are covered in this book. 200 pp.

They were used as curatives body toners preservatives contraception food additives flavoring and colouring agents cosmetics and so on. Spices are the most fascinating vegetation holding a significant position in human life. This mouth watering ingredient is an essential component of human food. The world had identified India as the Land of Spices which is the largest producer and exporter of spices. India is the biggest producer of black pepper the King of Spices and Cardamom the Queen of Spices. Thus it may not be out of place to designate India the capital of Spice Kingdom. Despite these facts we can not afford to become complacent. The spice world market is becoming tough due to challenges thrown by many other countries. Some of the threats are concerning high production quality production economical means of value addition etc. This necessaciates concerted efforts to sustain supremacy of India in spice production and export. The author has felt a great necessity of composite information on cultivation and post harvest management of spices which provoked him to write a book exclusively on spices assimilating the existing facts in simple language which it is hoped will swing back India in the international trade of spices. This book will definitely fulfill the cherished dream of aspirants like students researchers farmers and the entrepreneurs having interest in spices. 240 pp.

Although micronutrients are needed in much smaller quantities as compared to primary nutrients like N P K they are as important as major nutrients. In practice the micronutrients are not regularly applied to soil in the form of common fertilizers. Their removal from soil has been going on for centuries without any systematic replacement. Several areas of our soil are incapable of supplying plants with sufficient amount of trace elements. With the adoption of intensive cropping and cultivation of high yielding varieties it is quite possible that deficiencies of micronutrients may occur on a large scale in future. Then one sided development in fertilizing of soils with only main nutrients the gradual loss of micro nutrients through weathering and leaching the decreasing use of organic manures and increasing use of high analysis fertilizers (which are relatively pure and do not contain trace element impurities) is contributing towards accelerating exhaustion of available supply of trace elements. Therefore without the use of trace elements it would not be possible to get the maximum benefit from applied NPK fertilizers and cultivation of high yielding varieties. Studies on micronutrients were started in India about six decades back yet detailed scientific investigations were taken upon in the last three decades. Nevertheless considerable information is available on different aspects especially role functions distribution in soils and plants deficiency and toxicity of trace element and use of trace element fertilizers but the information is scattered in different publications. This edited volume will enthuse a lot of interest in young scientist for studying various aspects of trace elements in considering this publication most timely when several million hectares of land in the world are afflicted with trace element deficiency and require optimum utilization to fulfill the food needs of the millions of people. 288 pp.

We can be boast of having about fifty thousand plant diversity and around eighty thousand animal diversity. Occupying only four per cent of the geography of the world we are possessing eight per cent of the world's biodiversity. The unfathomable spate of urbanizations changing style of consumption and skewed depletion of natural resources have amounted to the enlarging entropy and mounting anarchy in the biosphere. Global warming has earned the worst Alb Edo ever since the change of traditional life into a ruthlessly consumptive mode of urbanite life. In the face of global warming and swallowing urbanizations the worst victim is the ichthyofaunal diversity which has been sustaining the human civilization since inception. So the need of the hour is to screen out the critical factors amounting to productivity level and remaining resilient to the ecological balances. And logically this approach needs a peoples participatory tools and techniques for both identifying the reasons of erosion vis a vis extinction and there by application of participatory tools to combat the viscitudes of ecological imbalanced. The book has been neatly designed to describe and analyze the biophysical factors of productivity time and trend analysis to present the fisher folk wisdom in predicting the slope of erosions calculating the Fish Magnitude Volume (FMV) and to statistically analyze the direct and indirect impact of different factors causing erosion of fish species in different Lentic Aqua Systems. Singhbhum of Jharkhand State as a research locale has become an excellent choice since the region can represent the fragility of ecological balances as India is facing to day at large. This book is the output of comprehensive researches enlighten discourses and strong predicting values to highlight the need and essentiality of biodiversity conservation as well as topping up of productivity through a complete fusion of biophysical and social realms. The authors of this book are eminent scientist and scholars have long been engaged in biodiversity researches teaching and extension activities beyond institutional confinement even. This book could provide a road map for selecting and applying some of the participatory tools to initiate a unique research approaches for identifying scoring and customizing traditional and local estimating techniques for sustaining our balanced growth with nurturing the pristinely of ecological expanse. This book would go useful for both the researchers and professionals of social sciences environmentalist social activists conservation specialist and also to the chores of scientists unconventional sciences like botany zoology etc. 192 pp.

The importance of environmental science and environmental studies can not be disputed. The need of sustainable development is a key to the future of making. Continuing problems of pollution loss of forest solid waste disposal degradation of environment issues like economic productivity and national security global warming the depletion of ozone layer and loss of biodiversity have made everyone aware of environmental issues. The United Nation Conference in 1992 and World Summit on sustainable development in 2002 have drawn the attention of people around the globe to the deteriorating condition of our environment. Our ancient scriptures have emphasized about practices and values of environmental conservation. Now it is more critical than ever before for mankind as whole to have a clear understanding of environmental concerns and to follow sustainable development practices. Destruction of habitats over use of energy resources and environmental pollution have been found to be responsible for the loss of a large number of life forms. It is feared that a large proportion of life on earth may get wiped out in near future. In spite of the deterioration status of the environment study of environment has so far not received adequate attention in the academic programmes. Recognizing this the Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed the University Grant Commission to introduce a basic course on environment. 808 pp.

According to FAO estimates additional land must be incorporated into agriculture to meet the food and fibre needs of mankind. The largest reserves of potential arable land still available in the world are acid soils. Acid soils are developed under high rainfall conditions and because of their specific nature pose several problems for successful crop production. Aluminium and other toxicities associated with it low contents of plant nutrients trace element deficiencies and disease hazards have all hindered the intensification of agricultural production on these soils. Subsoil acidity is particularly harmful as it results in shallow rooting susceptibility to drought and inefficient utilization of plant nutrients. During the last five decades significant advances have been made in the diagnosis and improvement of acid soils for successful crop production. This book include chapters on important aspects of crop production in acid soils viz. physiology and biochemistry of acid tolerance agronomic management of acid soils liming of acid soils reclamation and management of acid sulphate soils and crop production with subsoil acidity. It is the aim or this monograph to review the experiences already acquired and to summarize the research findings which have already become available. 328 pp.
