deficiencies of sulphur (61 to 98%), boron (23 to 98%) and zinc (45 to 85%) in addition to that&#13;
of soil carbon (25 to 97%), and phosphorus (14 to 84%) which are apparently holding back&#13;
the productivity potential. The soil test based application of sulphur, boron and zinc together&#13;
increased productivity by 8 to 102% in cotton, groundnut, castor, sorghum, greengram, cowpea,&#13;
chickpea and maize. Economic assessment reveal that per rupee invested as additional cost&#13;
(` 1,400/- to ` 2,150/-) gave ` 1.6 to 28.5 in return. Residual benefits of balanced nutrition&#13;
were observed during 4 succeeding seasons. Soil health improved in balanced nutrition plots,&#13;
inspite of higher yields and nutrient removal. The results showed that balanced nutrition is the&#13;
way forward to increase crop productivity through resilience building of production systems and&#13;
improve farm based livelihoods in the SAT regions.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Food and Nutrition</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2013</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Monograph</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_eprint_6843"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_eprint_6843_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="MODS"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
