importance of agribusiness in Indian economy Abhiishek91
The document discusses the importance of agribusiness in the Indian economy. It notes that agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing about 16% to GDP and employing over 56% of the labor force. Agriculture supplies raw materials to industries like cotton and sugar, and provides a large market for industrial products due to the rural population. While the share of agriculture in national income has decreased with industrialization, it still accounts for about 18% and remains crucial for employment and food security.
Agricultural inputs are essential for rural development and marketing. There are two types: consumable inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and veterinary medicines, and capital inputs like tractors and irrigation equipment. Seeds are a key input and account for 20-25% of productivity, but challenges include inconsistent seed quality and a lack of comprehensive databases. Fertilizer use has increased food grain production significantly in India, though consumption remains low compared to other countries. Pesticide use is also increasing to combat crop losses, with insecticides currently making up over half of the market. Mechanization brings benefits like increased yields and income, though customized equipment and training are needed given India's diverse farm sizes and conditions. Irrigation potential
This presentation highlights the overview and subsidiaries of the agro and food processing sector in India & Gujarat. It details the major initiatives taken up by the government in terms of policies as well as infrastructure to promote industries and investments in the sector.
Zero tillage, also known as no-tillage, involves direct seeding of crops into untilled soil with minimal soil disturbance. It provides benefits such as conserving soil moisture, reducing erosion, and allowing timely sowing of crops. However, it also poses some challenges like increased soil compaction and potentially lower yields for some crops compared to conventional tillage. Overall, zero tillage is seen as an important conservation agriculture practice for improving the sustainability of cropping systems.

It provides details on the design and operation of each type of dryer, including recommended air flow rates, drying temperatures, capacities, and advantages/disadvantages. The Louisiana State University (LSU) dryer is discussed in depth as a popular continuous flow-mixing dryer used in India and the US.
This presentation discusses traditional grain storage structures used in India. It describes common structures like Morai, Bukhari, Kothar that are shaped like inverted cones or cylinders and made of materials like mud or bamboo. These structures have capacities from 1 to 50 tonnes and are used to store grains above ground. Other structures mentioned are Mud Kothi, Kanaj, and metal bins, as well as bag storage. The appropriate storage method depends on factors like grain type, climate, costs and pest resistance. Traditional bulk storage keeps grains intact while bag storage offers flexibility but has higher costs and loss risks.
Flooded soils – formation, characteristics and managementMahiiKarthii
Flooded soils, also known as hydric soils, form when soils are saturated with water for a sufficiently long time each year, resulting in gley horizons from oxidation-reduction processes. Flooded soils have three zones - an upper partially oxidized organic matter-rich zone, a mottled middle zone where oxidation and reduction occur, and a lower permanently reduced bluish-green zone. Physical, chemical, and biological changes occur in flooded soils, including soil compaction, puddling, accumulation of gases like carbon dioxide, and changes in redox potential and pH. Management of flooded soils involves drainage installation, controlled irrigation, crop selection, and planting of trees with high transpiration rates to remove excess water.

Crop Microclimate Modification to Address Climate ChangeUditDebangshi
Climate-related agricultural vulnerabilities, as
well as their implications for food security and
farm livelihoods, have been extensively
documented. Extreme weather events such as
floods, droughts, heat and cold waves,
hailstorms, strong winds, cyclones, and other
weather events have increased the exposures of
agriculture to climate risk. These processes are
hampered by a lack of appropriate climatic
elements, resulting in an unfavourable drop in
crop productivity. Increased frequency and
intensity of droughts and floods, as well as
erratic precipitation patterns are predicted to
increase year-to-year yield variability in crop
production. Microclimate, which refers to the
climatic elements in the immediate vicinity of
the plants, is critical because it regulates and
affects the physiological reactions of the plants
as well as the energy exchange activities
between the plant and its surroundings.
Implementation of such microclimatic
modifications in crop production are required to
manage extreme weather risks and boost crop
output in order to increase food security and
agricultural sustainability in this changing
climate. The goal of this paper is to improve
crop production and land productivity by
modifying microclimate as a manifestation of
the efficiency and effectiveness of growth factor
utilisation.
Greenhouses allow for control of the components of a crop's microclimate, including light, temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, and carbon dioxide. Light intensity and wavelength affect photosynthesis rates, with optimal light between 32.3-129.6 klux. Temperature influences enzyme activity, with day temperatures generally 3-8°C higher than nights. Relative humidity is maintained between 50-80% through humidification and dehumidification. Ventilation manages air temperature, carbon dioxide, and humidity. Carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth, with most crops responding well to levels between 1000-1200 ppm in greenhouses.

This document discusses secondary agriculture and value addition to primary agricultural products. It defines secondary agriculture as activities that add value to primary agricultural production through input-centric activities like nurseries, vermicompost and biofertilizer production, and harvest/post-harvest centric activities like fresh produce management and processing of food. It provides examples of enterprises that use agricultural residues and waste. The document then discusses various topics related to secondary agriculture and value addition including food processing technologies, packaging, and management of fresh and cut produce.
The document discusses several factors that affect farming, including physical factors like temperature, precipitation, altitude, and wind, as well as socio-cultural factors such as land tenure and inheritance laws. It also examines economic factors such as transportation, markets, technology, and government policies. While physical factors establish basic limits of what can be grown, the document suggests that within those limits, economic factors may be more important in determining patterns of modern food production.

The document discusses the selection, performance, and maintenance of grain bin fans. It describes different types of fans used for grain drying, such as axial and centrifugal fans. It provides steps for selecting a suitable fan, including calculating total airflow needs, estimating static pressure, and fan power requirements. Key factors that affect static pressure and fan performance are also outlined. The document concludes with recommendations for maintaining fans, such as inspecting the system, cleaning the fan, lubricating bearings, and checking exhaust outlets.
This document discusses Langmuir adsorption isotherm, which explains monolayer adsorption of gases onto surfaces. It assumes adsorption occurs at specific identical sites, with no lateral interactions between adsorbed molecules. Langmuir derived an equation showing the relationship between fraction of surface coverage (θ) and gas pressure (P), based on equilibrium between adsorption and desorption rates. This model applies at low pressures and assumes only monolayer coverage, with limitations at high pressures where multilayers can form. The document also outlines assumptions, derivation of the Langmuir equation, and applications for measuring moisture adsorption.
Microwave, radio frequency, and tunnel drying methods were presented. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. Microwave heating is faster and more uniform than conventional heating. Each microwave system consists of a microwave source, waveguide, and applicator. Magnetrons are commonly used as microwave sources. Factors like moisture content, mass, and temperature affect microwave heating. Radio frequency drying uses polarization to generate internal heat. Tunnel dryers are long insulated chambers used to continuously dry foods and other materials on moving trays using hot air. Applications include drying fruits, vegetables, ink, packaging materials, and more.

This document discusses a texture analyzer and its various accessories. It describes how a texture analyzer works by compressing or stretching samples to measure properties like hardness, springiness and chewiness. Several accessories are mentioned, including a heavy duty platform, load cells, a video capture system, temperature and humidity modules, and sample preparation tools. Specific accessories like a dough inflation system, twin blade cutter, and spreadability rig are also outlined along with their purposes of testing properties of dough, preparing uniform samples, and measuring spreadability respectively.
This document provides information about Texture Profile Analysis (TPA). TPA is an instrumental test developed in 1963 to objectively measure texture parameters of foods. It simulates two bites of chewing using a texture analyzer with compression platten. A force-time graph of two bites on a Brie cheese cylinder is shown. TPA results are expressed as parameters including hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, fracturability, gumminess and chewiness. The meaning and units of measurement for each parameter are defined. Experimental settings like test speed and compression distance are also discussed as important factors to standardize when comparing TPA results.
High pressure processing is a cold pasteurization technique that subjects foods sealed in packaging to high pressure levels between 300-600 MPa. This process inactivates microbes like bacteria, yeasts and molds through permeabilization of cell membranes while maintaining the fresh taste, texture and appearance of foods. Some key applications of high pressure processing include fruit juices, meat, fish, dairy products, and ready meals. The technology provides advantages over thermal pasteurization like uniform microbial reduction without heating but has limitations for foods with entrapped air or bacterial spores that require very high pressures for inactivation.
Microwave processing is a technique that uses electromagnetic waves to heat and cook food. Microwaves work by causing water and other polar molecules in food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat. A typical microwave oven contains a magnetron that generates microwaves which pass into a cooking cavity to heat food. Microwave heating is more energy efficient than conventional heating as it heats food directly rather than heating the surrounding air. Common applications of microwave processing in the food industry include cooking, baking, thawing, tempering, drying, blanching, pasteurization and sterilization. However, some controversies exist around the effects of microwaves on food quality and potential health impacts from leakage.
This document discusses waste management techniques for cereal crop residues. It begins by introducing the major cereal crops - wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats and rye.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
