FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
National Workshop on Stress Agriculture & Climate Change: Exploring Synergy and Synapses
(21-22 December, 2011)
AEGIS: PROM Society & SK Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner
VENUE: Agriculture Research Station, Mandor, Jodhpur (Rajasthan)
The Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM) Society was formed by a group of more than 180 scientists representing Agriculture, Botany, Microbiology, Engineering and other related disciplines. The society was inspired by the idea of developing low cost organic manure, enriched with a natural mineral, the rock phosphate. The Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Ltd. (RSMML) and MLSU, Udaipur were the institutes which patronized the pioneering efforts of developing PROM technology as alternative to cost intensive phosphatic fertilizers like DAP and SSP. The PROM Society gradually became poised to address issues of natural resource management in agriculture. The paradigm evolution in the theme is evident in the publications of PROM & NaRMA reviews.
The NaRMA-I was organized at ARS, Durgapura, Jaipur in 2008 and The NaRMA-II was organized at Udaipur (India) in December 2010 under the aegis of PROM Society and Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology(MPUAT), Udaipur. The MLSU and RSMML, Udaipur co-sponsored the Symposium.
National Workshop on Stress Agriculture & Climate Change: Exploring Synergy and Synapses is being organized at ARS, Mandor, Jodhpur under the joint aegis of PROM Society and SK RAU, Bikaner on 21-22 December,2011.
Stress agriculture is an emerging concept of agricultural production under sub-optimal and stressful environments. The research encompasses basic and applied aspects of biotic and abiotic Stress tolerance and management in fragile arid and semi-arid ecosystems. A natural synergy with an upfront research imperative-The climate change is evident, which, in a way, is up-scaling of environmental oscillations, vis a vis it has its own dimensions in terms of global warming, melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, increasing levels of CO2 and other green house gases and their impact on agricultural productivity and food security.
Research, overview and lead papers are invited for presentation during the workshop. Efforts would be made to identify points of synergy and synapses (gaps) between stress tolerance, management and strategic approach to mitigate the impacts of stress and climate change on Indian agriculture and food security.
Further details of the National workshop would be communicated through the First circular.
