Agrotechnological Options for Upscaling Agricultural Productivity in Eastern Indo Gangetic Plains under Impending Climate Change Situations: A Review
Abstract
This review article scrutiniz some of the vibrant technologies developed/ refined/adopted to improve agricultural system productivity in the Eastern Indo Gangetic plains. Efficient agronomic research and technological development for improving agricultural productivity in eastern region are the only options to feed our people under this difficult situation. These tested and refined technologies are not only capable of improving productivity in a sustainable manner but are equally efficient in minimizing the outbreak of insects and disease pests. Important agro-technology developed and refined for Eastern Region conditions are briefly discussed in this article.
