Water management is a point of concern, especially in developing countries due to the lack of proper management and conservation of water. GIS is useful to analyze and evaluate the geomorphological features of any watershed. GIS has developed as a tool for data sharing and collaboration presently being used in its identification, mapping, monitoring, management, analyses, evaluation, strategies and planning in different areas such as alternate land use practices, selection of sites for water harvesting structures for a watershed by integrating thematic information (land use, slope, drainage and soil) with socio-economic and other collateral information (like population, depth of weathering, well and crop inventory). </em><em>This paper discusses various aspects of GIS for watershed development mapping such as base map, geological map for the purpose of rock and soil type, rainfall data, elevation, interrelationships of physiography of the drainage basin with land use and population structure. Chemical concentrations, monitoring of main and sub-streams and some traditional water resources (such as Dhare, Naule, Kund, Taals and Chal-Khal), create the strategies for drinking water, hydro-power production, agriculture irrigation, fisheries and animal husbandry and water conservation in the Sai watershed area. </em><em>The most important role of GIS in watershed management is identifying the spatial patterns and various changes within the watershed area. It is also used for crop classification, rainfall, surface water inventory, mapping, conservation, searching and monitoring of </em><em>water</em><em> percolation tanks, dug out ponds, check dams, rain water harvesting and strategies for watershed management.</em></p> 2024-03-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 EPRA International Journal of Agriculture and Rural Economic Research (ARER) http://eprajournals.net/index.php/ARER/article/view/3924 CHANGES IN NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF OYSTER MUSHROOM DRIED BY VARIOUS METHODS 2024-03-11T15:21:29+00:00 Varpe S.N, Kadlag S.D, Nikam K.B, Sneha Mendhe varrpesn@gmail.com <p><em>Since ancient times, people have utilized mushrooms as food and medicine. In terms of edible mushroom production and consumption, India is regarded as a rising nation. However, using subpar preservation techniques lowers the quality of the crop. In light of this, the current study was created to assess the nutritional value of dried oyster mushrooms using various techniques. According to the findings, material that had been shade dried had the greatest grade mushrooms following drying. Both large and small industrial units will benefit from our approach in terms of preservation.</em></p> 2024-03-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 EPRA International Journal of Agriculture and Rural Economic Research (ARER) http://eprajournals.net/index.php/ARER/article/view/3925 ADVANCING NATURAL FARMING-A SYSTEMATICAL LITERATURE REVIEW OF NATURAL FARMING PRACTICES IN INDIA 2024-03-11T15:23:33+00:00 Osama Mohammed Salih Bashir Daifa, Dawit Negussie Tolossa, Dr.Nilam Panchal, Mr Sudhanshu Jangir salihbashir@gmail.com <p><em>The agricultural sector captures a key position and is the backbone of the Indian economy.&nbsp;This systematic literature review (SLR) investigates the efficacy of natural farming practices, which is known as Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), in addressing sustainability challenges in Indian agriculture. Analyzing 21 finalized papers spanning 2015 to 2024, the review explores ZBNF's impact on farmer incomes, crop yields, and soil health. Findings suggest that ZBNF reduces production costs, enhances soil fertility, and mitigates adverse environmental effects. However, challenges such as limited resources, pest management, and technological constraints hinder widespread adoption. Graphical analyses illustrate increasing research output and India's prominence in the field. Overall, the review emphasizes the potential of natural farming to promote socio-ecological resilience and calls for further research to address implementation challenges foster policy support for sustainable agriculture, and encourage farmers to consider it lifestyle.</em></p> 2024-03-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 EPRA International Journal of Agriculture and Rural Economic Research (ARER) http://eprajournals.net/index.php/ARER/article/view/3926 IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON INDIAN AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTORS- SOME STRATEGY 2024-03-11T15:24:59+00:00 Shareya, Monika Kumari, DD Sharma monikadd@gmail.com <p>-</p> 2024-03-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 EPRA International Journal of Agriculture and Rural Economic Research (ARER)
