Patent / Technologies / Methodologies / System etc. (Upto Five) :

1. Standardized (for the first time in the Himalayas) tillage and residue management practices under rainfed and irrigated agro-ecosystems of the Indian Himalayas.

2. Assessed the potential of Indian Himalayan soils for carbon sequestration (after developing methodology for quantitative estimation of carbon sequestration in agro-ecosystem) through adoption of conservation tillage, diversified cropping, location specifi

3. Evaluated (for the first time ever) the effectiveness of using biological geotextiles (Borassus and Buriti mats) for soil conservation and observed that plots under buffer strips of Borassus mats (area coverage = 10%) were as effective as completely cover

4. Developed novel conservation agriculture in the Indo-Gangetic Plains for carbon and nitrogen accumulation and crop productivity improvement

5. Concept: � Residue retention had better soil aggregation and nitrogen storage than residue incorporation.
