How to meet the needs of quality seeds of tribal women?
Training the farm women for better selection, treatment and storage of seeds from their own farms is an essential step. Own saved seed is best suited for farmers who cannot afford to buy seeds. Community seed banks should be created and seed breeding with the participation of women should become the backbone of food security.
Plant Genetic Resources: Concept and Perspective
Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture are germplasm that farmers and plant breeders use to improve the quality and productivity of crops. These include landraces, modern improved varieties, obsolete varieties, breeder lines, specific genetic stock and crop wild relatives, etc. Landraces are crop varieties that have been traditionally used by farmers for a long time but have not been formally released.

Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most widely cultivated cereal crops worldwide, primarily used for human consumption and industrial purposes. However, its suitability as a feedstuff for livestock has gained attention due to its nutritional richness, affordability, and availability.
Useful device for Rabi crop harvesting and residue management
For crop harvesting and crop residue management, various tractors and automatic machines like automatic vertical conveyor reaper, automatic sit-on reaper, tractor-operated vertical conveyor reaper, automatic combine harvester, automatic harvester cum binder, chaff combine, tractor-operated slasher and straw Balers etc. have been developed. With these machines, more work can be accomplished in less time and the cost of doing the work is less as compared to harvesting with a sickle. A brief description of some machines useful for farmers is as follows:

In addressing the challenges of suboptimal reproductive performance and escalating veterinary costs in livestock production, it's essential to explore alternative feed resources. Moringa (Moringa oleifera), drought-tolerant tree rich in crude protein and devoid of inhibitors like tannins, trypsin, and amylase, presents a promising solution.
Technique of preparing healthy seedlings of vegetables
Watering of nursery beds should be stopped 5 to 8 days before transplanting the plants in the field and shade net etc. should also be removed. This process is called hardening. The plants should be watered a day before they are taken out from the beds. So that the roots do not get damaged while removing the plants. Hardening helps plants withstand adverse environments such as low temperatures, high temperatures and hot dry air.
Usefulness, importance of micronutrients in soil and plant growth and symptoms of their deficiency.
If the availability of micronutrients in plants is not proper, they become deficient in the plants. Generally, the deficiency of nutrients is visible on new or old leaves or ablative bud, it also depends on the condition of the leaves and also varies from person to person. May be of different color also.
