Development of WGL‐1487 (Telangana Vari‐8), a High‐Yielding, Low‐Phosphorus‐Tolerant Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) Variety Possessing OsPSTOL1 ( Pup1 ) Through Marker‐Assisted Backcross Breeding

ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) deficiency remains one of the most critical factors restricting rice yield in India, with popular cultivars like MTU‐1121 particularly vulnerable to low‐P soils. To enhance P‐use efficiency while retaining the preferred grain and agronomic features of MTU‐...

Diversified pomegranate-based intercropping systems to enhance productivity, profitability, and soil fertility in semi-arid ecosystems

Diversified intercropping is increasingly recognized as a strategy to enhance the productivity and the sustainability in orchard-based agroecosystems, particularly in water-limited environments. A five-year field experiment (2016–2020) was conducted under semi-arid conditions of...
