About the Book
Improved Agronomy for Self-Reliance in Oilseed Crops focuses on enhancing oilseed productivity and reducing import dependence through advanced agronomic practices. Oilseeds play a vital role in India’s agricultural economy, yet more than half of the edible oil demand is met through imports. This book highlights the urgent need for improved cultivation strategies, better resource management, and adoption of high-yielding varieties to bridge the existing yield gap.
The text covers nine major oilseed crops grown in India, including soybean, rapeseed-mustard, groundnut, sesame, sunflower, safflower, niger, castor, linseed, and oil palm. It discusses crop-specific agronomic practices suited to diverse agro-climatic conditions, especially rainfed regions where a large share of oilseeds is cultivated.
Special emphasis is given to climate-smart agriculture, sustainable resource use, improved input management, and strategies to enhance productivity under changing environmental conditions. The book draws upon field demonstrations and practical experiences to present scientifically validated recommendations for farmers and extension workers.
This volume serves as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture, researchers, extension personnel, policymakers, and farmers aiming to achieve higher oilseed productivity and national self-reliance.
