“…Singh et al (2010) also observed higher net income from livestock component in the semi-arid areas of Bundelkhand region in India. Higher returns and more secured livelihood of the semi-arid Bundelkhand farmers through crop-livestock based interventions were also reported by Dwivedi et al (2018). The multiple and diverse components in farming system (crop, tree, livestock, etc) also ensure that a farmer gets assured regular income and employment.…”

Rainfed areas are the home of millions of resource poor farmers whose livelihood is under continuous threat due to frequent droughts. Assuring double cropping and imparting livelihood resilience to rainfed small holders is a challenge. A study was planned in this direction during 2013-2021 for livelihood resilience and sustainable intensi cation of rainfed small holder farming systems through rain water harvesting and agroforestry based interventions. The one hectare rainfed farming system model comprising of rain water harvesting farm pond (25 m x 20 m x 2.5 m), less water requiring food crops (groundnut-barley and sorghum-chickpea), agrihorticulture [Ziziphus mauritiana+(Sesamum indicum-Cicer arietinum)], silvipasture (Leucaena leucocephala + Tri-species hybrid grass + Stylosanthes hamata) and boundary plantation (Leucaena leucocephala and Opuntia cus-indica) was evaluated at on-station as well as promoted on-farm. The goat rearing potential of the above model was also estimated under intensive and semi-intensive systems.The on-station rainfed farming system module produced 4979 kg ha − 1 barley equivalent yield consisting of multiple products like barley, chickpea, groundnut, Indian jujube fruits, sesame, fodder (sorghum, TSH, Stylosanthes, Leucaena dried leaf meal and spine-less fodder cactus cladodes) and Grewia fruits and resulted in 709 US$ year − 1 net returns with a bene t cost ratio of 2.1. The carrying capacity of the above model was found to be 9 and 35 goat year − 1 under intensive and semi-intensive rearing systems, respectively. The net returns increased by 26 and 89% with the inclusion of goat under intensive (US$ 892) and semi-intensive rearing system (US$ 1340), respectively in the rainfed farming system model. It was evident from the study that inclusion of goat, agroforestry and farm pond for rain water harvesting in the rainfed farming have resulted in higher pro tability and resilience to less rainfall and its aberrations. Contrarily, the on-farm observations revealed that farmers could not take winter season crops without rain water harvesting. The rain water harvesting proved to be the key for reducing chances of crop failures due to droughts, ensuring double cropping (cropping intensity up to 200%) and sustainable intensi cation in rainfed areas. It can be concluded from the present study that intervention of water harvesting, agroforestry and goat in rainfed farming systems could enhance the farm productivity and pro tability and impart resilience to the livelihood of rainfed farmers in semi-arid tropics.

“…Adoption of disease resistant high yielding varieties of pulses with appropriate production and protection technologies can contribute to significant yield enhancement in the region and reduction in technological and extension gap (Mishra et al 2017, Sah et al 2018. Dwivedi et al, 2018 assessed that the yield enhancement in pulses by 80-167 per cent with use of improved varieties and agro techniques in the region. Improved pulse production techniques can contribute to yield advantage of 75.2% to 113.8 % in Bundelkhand region (Rajeev and Singh, 2014).…”

Bundelkhand region of India is primarily agrarian, vulnerable to natural calamities with low levels of industrialization and urbanization. Poor crop productivity, declining and irregular rainfall pattern and poor income levels make livelihood uncertain in the region. Pulse crops assume a special significance to the farm economy in Bundelkhand region as well as daily diets of local habitants. Chickpea, lentil, field pea, urdbean, mungbean and pigeon pea are the major pulse crops cultivated in the region. Data from Department of economics and statistics, Department of Agriculture and Cooperation and Farmers Welfare, New Delhi and the studies on pulses development of Bundelkhand region of India were analyzed. Pulses account for 32% of total agriculture produce and occupy about 33.6% of gross cropped area in the region. However, decline in area coverage of pulses has been observed in the region, in contrast to overall increase in gross cropped area in the region. The paper discusses about the various challenges confronting pulses cultivation in the region along with the possible intervention points for bringing out an enhanced pulse production.

“…Park et al (2013) reported that the addition of sodium azide (NaN 3 ), served as a noncompetitive enzyme inhibitor, is useful to expand the Ea range of coloration catalysed by laccase. Laccases, a group of multicopper oxidases, are categorised into three groups: type-1 (Cu 1 ), type-2 (Cu 4 ), and type-3 (Cu 3 and Cu 4 ; also called laccases with coupled binuclear copper centres) (Dwivedi et al, 2011). Laccase contains one mononuclear type-2 copper ion and two mononuclear type-3 copper ions, which form the trinuclear centre (TNC).…”

SummaryLaccase was immobilised on electrospun chitosan fibres to prepare a laccase time–temperature indicator (LTTI) to predict the quality deterioration of fresh‐cut papaya. Using sodium azide (NaN3) as an enzyme inhibitor could retard the laccase‐catalysed coloration and to expand activation energy (Ea) range, in which the LTTI was calibrated to correlate with fresh‐cut papaya deterioration. The fresh‐cut papaya reaching total plate count (TPC) of 105 CFU g−1 demonstrated unacceptable quality and the time it took was close to the coloration endpoint of formulated LTTI at different storage temperatures. The Ea of the LTTI, formulated with 20 μg cm−2 of laccase and 0.1 mm NaN3, was 55.69 kJ mol−1, which only differed by approximately 15 kJ mol−1 from the Ea of the TPC of fresh‐cut papaya. In the 5, 15, 25, and 35 °C isothermal response tests, the prediction errors were 1.15%, 2.78%, 2.78%, and 0.83%, respectively. In temperature fluctuation response experiments, the coloration endpoint of the LTTI was correlated with the quality deterioration of fresh‐cut papaya. These results revealed that the formulated LTTI had high reliability in evaluating the shelf life of fresh‐cut papaya.
