| Although identifying the existence and the nature of household-level poverty traps would have important implications for the design of poverty reduction policies empirical evidence is still scant. A small, but growing empirical literature has begun testing for poverty traps as thresholds in non-linear welfare dynamics. Employing a variety of quantitative methods it has produced a variety of conclusions. This paper uses a uniquely long household panel from three villages in rural India to examine whether the detection of poverty traps may be contingent on the quantitative method used to model household welfare dynamics. It then employs a novel semiparametric panel data estimator that combines the advantages of the existing methods. Since in the context of... |

| Considering India as a potential export market for 100% Kona coffee, this study explores consumer preferences for imported, specialty, high-end Kona coffee in South India. Conjoint choice experiment with latent class analysis is used and results indicate that India offers an export market potential for Kona coffee, provided it caters to consumer preferences. Results show a significant preference for strong taste. The relative importance of price is lower than taste but majority are also adverse to higher prices. However,15% of the sample population does not care about price but does care about taste, indicating the possibility of a high-end niche market segment. Based on the results, marketing strategies and policy recommendations have been suggested. |

| The Indian Sub-Continent (ISC) is the largest pulse producing and consuming region in the world. Australian scientists, producers, processors and exporters require detailed information about these markets. One study of these markets aims to describe the Indian chickpea market and to quantify the value of quality traits in the market using statistical analysis. This paper describes the Indian chickpea market and reports the results of about forty interviews with wholesalers, retailers, processors, brokers and commission agents which were conducted in eight key Indian markets in May and August 1999. A subsequent paper will present the results of an econometric analysis, which attaches values to the product traits of samples taken at the time of the... |

| BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Mountains of the Western Ghats are the second most important shelter in the world for threatened species. The current paper is an attempt to study the conservation assessment of rare, endangered and threatened species (RET) of the southern Western Ghats. A species is endangered when it is threatened with extinction. Since time began, countless species have gone extinct from natural processes. The present study was conducted to identify the rare, endangered and threatened climbing plants in Southern Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India. METHODS: The plant collection and identification of the RET listed climbing species of the Southern Western Ghats was done during 2011-2014. The collection and identified RET plant species from the... |

| Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron satisfacer las demandas de carne de conejo de tribus de la región montañosa (NEH) de la India, y evaluar los efectos benéficos de la heterosis. Para lo cual fue necesario desarrollar un conejo de capa negra mediante mestizaje entre las razas Chinchilla Soviético y una nativa local vía selección y entrecruzamiento controlado de línea única, obteniendo un híbrido con niveles de sangre exótica del 50%. Conformada la estirpe, se analizaron comparativamente rasgos de desempeño productivo entre las razas Chinchilla Soviético, nativa local y su descendencia híbrida negra. Los resultados revelaron un impacto raza-dependiente (P < 0.01) sobre todos los parámetros productivos, con excepción del peso vivo a los 60 días. El... |

| It has transforming from subsistence farming which was dependent on human and animals, to mechanized farming using inanimate power sources like tractors, diesel engines, electric motors, etc. In Punjab agriculture, the human and animal power has substantially reduced from 7.5 to 0.69 % and 73 to 0.61% respectively due to increase in mechanical power from 17 to 76 % and electrical power from 1.7 to 23.5 from 1960-61 to 2012-13. The intensity of farm power availability has increased from 0.37 to 5.68 kW ha-1 during the same period. Correspondingly there has been increase in the cropping intensity (112 to 196%), production (3.16 to 28.58 mt) and productivity (668 to 3638 kg ha-1) of total food grains. |

| In this study, performance of three forms of Valiantzas ET0 equations namely, (i) requiring full meteorological dataset, (ii) not requiring wind speed data, and (iii) not requiring both wind speed & relative humidity data for Indian semi-arid Hissar and Parbhani districts in comparison to widely accepted FAO-56 PM model was evaluated in terms of different statistical indices and their ranking based on GPI values. All Valiantzas ET0 equations requiring full meteorological dataset under-estimated FAO56-PM estimates in the range of 9.10 to 21.84% at Hissar while they over-estimated it in the range of 0.98 to 8.32% at Parbhani district. Valiantzas equations not requiring wind speed data under-estimated FAO56-PM ET0 values in the range of 3.90 to 34.56%... |

| Handgrip strength is considered as one of the most important factors for performing various agricultural tasks related to torqueing, lifting, pulling, pushing, etc. Hand tools and equipment which are designed based on anthropometric/strength data of different population, may not be suitable for any particular targeted user group. As a result work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) at upper extremity may occur very often. Lack of strength data of Assamese population (people of Assam, a state in northeast India), motivated present authors to conduct a survey on isometric handgrip strength data of 200 agricultural workers (130 male and 70 female, aged 17-62 years) from the Kamrup district of the state. Maximal isometric handgrip strength was determined... |

| Leptospirosis is an acute anthropo-zoonotic infection of worldwide significance caused by spirochaete Leptospira interrogans which has 23 serogroups and >200 serovars. Various factors influencing the animal activity, suitability of the environment for the survival of the organism and behavorial and occupational habits of human beings can be the determinants of incidence and prevalence of the disease. The disease was considered inconsequential till recently, but it is emerging as an important public health problem during the last decade or so due to sudden upsurge in the number of reported cases and outbreaks. Since isolation rate of the microorganism from clinical specimens is low due to prior indiscriminate use of antibiotics, serological techniques... |
