Despite their importance, increasing public, scientific and political support, large gaps exist in the amount of genetic material collected and conserved of many CWR. Here, we construct a dataset on the distribution of wild banana species (Musa spp.) and assess ...

Out of 620 MT crop residues produced annually in the country, 234 MT is surplus and 30% of it is contributed by rice and wheat. Approximately 16% of total crop residue being burnt, 62% is contributed by rice and wheat. At present, we do not ha ...
